It’s that time of the year again, as Disney and ABC team up for “The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration,” which will air Sunday, November 28, 2021.
Siblings Derek Hough and Julianne Hough will host this year’s event with actress Ariana DeBose.
The special was shot at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and will feature holiday cheer, heartwarming moments, and exclusive sneak peeks at what’s new around The Walt Disney Company.
Viewers can look forward to: a sneak peek at Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, opening March 1, 2022 at Walt Disney World Resort; a trip on board the all-new Disney Wish from Disney Cruise Line; and special looks at Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” and Steven Spielberg’s new film “West Side Story,” which also stars DeBose.

- Julianne Hough and Ariana DeBose – “We Need a Little Christmas,” “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” and “Holiday” medley
- AFTR PRTY – “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” and “Winter Wonderland” medley

To get you in the mood, Disney has released this behind-the-scenes clip:
The fun kicks off at 7pm ET/6 CT this Sunday on ABC, and the show will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
Will you be watching?
Heck Yeah!
Of course I will be watching.
When was the show recorded?
It was recorded earlier this month at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World to a closed audience.
Just curious why this article/song list doesn’t include Chance the Rapper since he performed twice… ?
He wasn’t on the press release furnished by Disney and ABC for the special.
