Disney will help to welcome Christmas with its annual Christmas Day Parade on Wednesday morning.
On Christmas Day, ABC will take viewers inside the Christmas Day Parade from Walt Disney World, as former Dancing With the Stars partners Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro reunite as hosts for the show. Hough and her brother Derek used to serve as hosts, but this year he has stepped away, handing the reigns over to the very talented Ribeiro. The parade takes place at the happiest place on earth, transporting viewers inside the Magic Kingdom to celebrate alongside several of Disney’s favorite characters. This year’s events will welcome several guests who will perform songs and dance numbers with a special performance from Ribeiro and Hough to open the show.

This year’s event has a star-studded lineup, with special appearances from five-time Grammy winner Elton John, 12-time Grammy winner John Legend, Carly Pearce, Andy Grammer and the Junkanoo Celebration Performers, Pentatonix, Anika Noni Rose and K-pop group SEVENTEEN. Disney on Broadway cast members and Descendants: The Rise of Red’s ensemble will also perform, encouraging parade-goers and viewers to sing along. On top of hosting, Hough and Ribeiro are expected to open the special with a performance of their own. While most of Wednesday’s performances will be Christmas-themed, there will be some performances that stray from the holiday.
Tune in on Christmas Day to join Hough, Ribeiro and an all-star lineup as the the show also takes trips to other Disney parks, including Disneyland Resort in California, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, and Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii, as the special was pre-taped in advance of the holidays.
