When the Disney Holiday Special and Christmas Day Parade Will Air on ABC and Hulu

The holidays are approaching, and that means LOTS of things!

Hollywood Studios Holiday Decorations

There are new events in the parks, lots of new snacks, and tons of new merchandise to check out. But there’s one event we look forward to every year, and you don’t have to be in the parks to watch! Here’s when you can watch Disney’s Holiday Celebration this year!

Derek and Julianne Hough are returning this year to host the ABC special The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration on Sunday, November 27th from 8-10PM EST!

The holiday season has arrived to ABC with #DisneyHolidayCelebration on Nov 27! @derekhough and @juliannehough return to host as we celebrate with performances by @JordinSparks, @Meghan_Trainor, @bep and more! Stream next day on Hulu and Disney+. @Disneyland @WaltDisneyWorld https://t.co/qZyQXlH9A8

— ABC (@ABCNetwork) November 16, 2022

Co-hosting the show will be Sherry Cola from Freeform’s Good Trouble and Marcus Scribner from grown-ish. They will host Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade on Sunday, Dec. 25 from 10AM-12PM EST!

If you can’t catch either show live, you can watch the Magical Holiday Celebration the next day on Hulu and Disney+, and the Christmas Day Parade on Hulu the day after it airs on ABC.

Christmas Special Filming

Both specials are filmed in Disney World and Disneyland and will feature musical performances by many popular artists! We caught some of the filming in the parks. You can see that here!
