Disney has announced the air-dates for two original made-for-television Christmas movies, and I’m very excited about them! The House of Mouse confirmed that among their upcoming holiday offerings, Disney Channel’s previously announced movie, “Christmas Again”, and Disney Junior’s “Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon a Christmas” will both premiere in December.
Check out more information on the movies and the official air-dates below!
“Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon a Christmas” | Thursday, Dec. 2, on Disney Junior
After a series of mishaps, Mickey, Minnie and the gang are separated all over the world and must try to get back to Hot Dog Hills by Christmas Eve. A mysterious and jolly stranger shows up to tell them about The Wishing Star, which could be the secret to bringing everybody home in time to celebrate together.

“Christmas Again” | Friday, Dec. 3, at 8:00 p.m. EST/PST on Disney Channel
Disney fan-favorite Scarlett Estevez (BUNK’D) stars as Rowena “Ro,” a high-spirited teenager experiencing a lackluster Christmas. Ro isn’t handling her parents’ divorce well because she wants her life back the way it was—her parents back together, her dad’s new girlfriend and son out of the picture, and their family traditions to remain the same. After a disappointing celebration with her family, including her sister Gabriela “Gabby,” Abuela Sofia and Abuelo Hector, she makes a wish to a neighborhood Santa for a “do-over” and unexpectedly finds herself reliving Christmas day over and over … and over again. Now, in order to break the strange magical loop, Ro must learn to appreciate her loving family as it is, as well as the true meaning of Christmas.
Also starring is Daniel Sunjata as Mike and Alexis Carra as Carolina, Ro’s parents; Ashlyn Jade Lopez as Gabby; Priscilla Lopez as Abuela Sofia; Beth Lacke as Mike’s girlfriend, Diane; Tony Amendola as Abuelo Hector; and veteran comedic actor Gary Anthony Williams as Santa.
These films are sure to be magical festive fun for the whole family!
Stay merry!
