‘Tis the season!

The winter holidays are fast approaching and Disney has been celebrating BIG. Between decorations going up all over the theme parks, festive after hour events, and colorful merchandise collections, Disney fans are certainly in the holiday spirit! In fact, Disney’s exclusive holiday special just aired…but what happens if you missed it? We’ve got you covered!
The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular officially aired on ABC on Sunday, December 1st. Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribiero, the hosts of Dancing With the Stars, hosted the special with Kristen Bell as the narrator.

Many people (including me) don’t have cable nowadays or maybe you were busy on Sunday night. Well, don’t worry — you can catch the holiday special streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu!

Disney jam-packed a ton of celebrities and performances into this one-hour and twenty-minute program. Here’s a full list of the incredible performers and songs you’ll be able to see!
- Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro – “Deck the Halls” / “Holly Jolly Christmas”
- Auliʻi Cravalho – “Beyond” (from ‘Moana 2’ in theaters Nov. 27)

The special is filmed ahead of time and we even saw some of the parade filming in a chaotic Magic Kingdom earlier this year!

That’s not all. Disney also revealed some highly-anticipated news for Disney World fans! First of all, we now know the name of the new nighttime parade coming to Magic Kingdom next summer. Originally announced as Disney Starlight, the full name is Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away!

We also learned the name of the all-new Villains show coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Taking over the permanently closed Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After will debut in 2025.

We won’t spoil any more of the special for you, so go check it out for yourself! It’s streaming now and available to anyone with a Disney+ or Hulu subscription.
