The holidays are a lot different this year, but leave it up to Disney to still find a way to bring some magic into your homes! With the Disney Parks on limited capacity guidelines for the past several months, and Disneyland in California still closed, the year’s Wonderful World of Disney Magical Holiday Celebration does not feature new performances live from the theme parks, but instead, memorable performances from holiday’s past!

In this special 5th anniversary edition of the annual event, which airs every Thanksgiving night, Emmy® Award-winning siblings Derek and Julianne Hough return for hosting duties at Disneyland alongside Trevor Jackson of Freeform’s “Grown-ish”, who is joining them from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.  The Houghs have also planned a brilliant opening performance before the team gets into featuring festive flashbacks of performances by Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel, Kelly Clarkson, Jason Derulo, Ciara, Andrea Bocelli, OneRepublic, Pentatonix, Becky G, Shaggy, Boyz II Men and JoJo, Meghan Trainor and Brett Eldredge, and Aloe Blacc.

Jessie J joins the list of artists giving us all new Christmas music this year!

The British singer is gearing up to release her very first holiday album, This Christmas Day, on October 26th. The album includes the title track original song as well as several classics produced with a legendary team: David Foster, Rodney Jerkins, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

Jessie included “Man with the Bag” on the record, which was previously released in 2015–and she teams up with Boyz II Men on “Winter Wonderland” and Babyface on “The Christmas Song”.

Jessie talked about making This Christmas Day in an official press release, “I had so much fun recording this holiday album! I did it in fourteen days around my Summer tour, flying back and forth to LA from Europe. The chance to work with David Foster, Babyface, Rodney Jerkins, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Boyz II Men was a DREAM COME TRUE. The talent they all have blows my mind.”
