Songs and Performers Announced for “Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade” 2024 airing December 25th. For those who had a chance to watch The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular this past Thanksgiving Weekend the list of artists won’t be a surprise. The same people were on hand to film the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade, the difference will be song choices.
The Holiday Spectacular lived up to its name, and we are excited to see the Parade being broadcast on ABC and then Disney+. We were on hand this year at Walt Disney World on November 9th and 10th to witness the filming of the Christmas Parade here at the Magic Kingdom, so we already know how delightful it will be and are excited for others to experience it.
