The joy of the season shines even brighter when mixed with a little (or a LOT of) Disney magic! And this year, ABC and Disney Parks are bringing you two holiday specials featuring stunning musical performances by some of your favorite stars.

These shows, filmed at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland Resort in California, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Hawai’i and from aboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship, have been part of my family’s holiday traditions for years, bringing us together to enjoy our favorite holiday classics, plus original music and heartwarming stories. Every year we watch to see what new attractions are coming to Disney Parks and to catch previews of movies like the upcoming animated feature film “Wish,” only in theaters beginning  Nov. 22, 2023.

Derek and Julianne Hough return to host “The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration” airing on ABC on Sunday, Nov. 26 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EST). They’re joined by country music star Mickey Guyton and “The Golden Bachelor” host Jesse Palmer as co-hosts for the 40th anniversary of “Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade” airing on ABC on Monday, Dec. 25 (10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. EST/9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. PST). Both specials will also stream on Hulu and Disney+ the day after their premieres.
