There’s nothing better than curling up on your couch, hot cocoa and cookies within reach, watching your favorite Christmas movies and holiday specials! Our go-to is usually something on Disney+, but as the season of holiday specials arrives, there are a few Disney specials you’re going to want to tune into on ABC.
Starting on Monday, November 30th, ABC will air The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular from 8 to 10 PM. This annual seasonal celebration will feature new musical performances straight from Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort. It’s a magical special that we love tuning into every year.

On Tuesday, December 1st, ABC will air Dancing with the Holidays from 8 to 9 PM. ABC’s description says, “The ballroom comes alive with holiday magic as Dancing with the Stars celebrates the season with 12 all-new festive-themed routines, dazzling holiday decor and heartwarming moments with the cast.”

Then, on Christmas Day at 10 AM EST, ABC will air the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade. Disney’s annual celebration is returning for Christmas morning with magical star-studded performances live from Disney World and Disneyland Resort. We can’t wait to tune in to all three of the Disney specials! Make sure to grab those calendars and set those reminders, because you’re not going to want to miss them.
