Holiday Hosts and a Peek at What’s Ahead!

Guiding us through this epic journey is the always charming Derek Hough from Dancing with the Stars, who is not only hosting but will also be showing off his incredible moves in some show-stopping performances. And lending that perfect touch of Disney magic to the narration is Ginnifer Goodwin, the voice of Judy Hopps from Zootopia 2! Speaking of movies, film fans are in for a serious treat. We’ll get a special sneak peek at the highly anticipated Avatar: Fire and Ash, introduced right from the stunning Pandora – The World of Avatar.

Plus, brace yourself for a Zootopia 2 celebration with Ke Huy Quan (the voice of Gary De’Snake!) from Disneyland, and a closer look at the new Zootopia: Better Zoogether! 4D show with the voice of Officer Clawhauser, Nate Torrence. It’s basically a Disney dream come true for movie buffs and park lovers alike!

The Performance Lineup is Truly Out of This World!

Seriously, the list of performers is jaw-dropping! Kicking things off with a massive bang is the one and only Gwen Stefani, who will be rocking Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Resort with her brand-new holiday hit, “Shake the Snowglobe.” Get ready for sparkle, lights, and pure Gwen energy! But she’s just the start. You’ll find stars lighting up every corner of the Disney universe:

• Aloe Blacc brings his soulful groove to Toy Story Land with “This Christmas.”
• Good Charlotte is rocking out in front of the Millennium Falcon at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge how cool is that?, with “Fairytale of New York.”
• Coco Jones delivers a beautiful “Silent Night” beneath the Tree of Life, while Mariah the Scientist adds a sultry twist to “Santa Baby” in the bioluminescent glow of Pandora.
• The incredible Nicole Scherzinger will grace the “it’s a small world” holiday façade at Disneyland with “O Holy Night.”
• Over at EPCOT, the legendary Trisha Yearwood will sing “My Favorite Things” in World Celebration Gardens.
• Bebe Rexha is bringing the party to Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom with “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.”
• And for a touch of island warmth, American Idol winner Iam Tongi heads to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, to share “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride.”
