You know the holiday season is fast-approaching when the Walt Disney team starts releasing the schedule for Christmas festivities. If you’re planning for a festive trip to the ‘Happiest Place on Earth”, at least I can tell you when to expect Disney to celebrate the season at the Disneyland Parks located in Anaheim, California.

According to the Disney Parks Blog, Disneyland and California Adventure will begin decking the halls from November 8, 2019 and continue on through January 6, 2020.

I don’t tend to post about Scifi things on here, but with the success of the Netflix series “Stranger Things”, I figured there might be a few visitors out there who would be interested to know that Ingrid Michaelson has released an album inspired by the show — and it includes a Christmas song!

Michaelson, who debuted her first Christmas album last year, wrote a song on her new record, Stranger Songs, called “Christmas Lights” inspired by the first season of the series in which a character communicates using the holiday lights.

That being said, the lyrics and melody aren’t restricted for fans of the show; I think it’s a sweet holiday song, and now there’s a music video to go with it. Check it out below!
