‘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!
