Disney Parks will officially kick off the holiday season on television earlier than ever this year, with three musical holiday specials set to air Nov. 24 & 25 and Dec. 25.

Additional performances will be announced for each of the three holiday specials over the next few weeks.
that’s wonderful! :D, how fitting that ABC outdoes itself airing 3 holiday specials from the happiest place on earth :D, what a magical time of year :D
Settle down there skippy. ABC has 2 specials, the other is on Disney channel. You can also bet that they’ll be reusing a lot of the same footage based on it having all the same performers, so that’s not exactly outdoing itself.
okay, but i still think it’s great that their being aired from Disney world :D
Umm so is it basically the same thing 3 times? Every one has the same performers, but with slight variations.
When are they filming Garth & Trisha
