Be sure to also tune into the Disney Channel Holiday Party at Walt Disney World premiering on December 13 at 8 p.m., followed by a touching holiday-themed episode of Sydney to the Max, featuring Broadway star Krystal Joy Brown at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT.
Meg Donnelly is among the many artists celebrating the holidays with Disney Parks this year!
The Zombies actress and singer will be co-hosting the Disney Channel Holiday Party with her co-star Milo Manheim at Walt Disney World.
Meg, Raven’s Home‘s Issac Ryan Brown, Coop & Cami Ask The World‘s Ruby Rose Turner, and Gabby Duran and the Unsittables‘ Kylie Cantrall, as well as The Little Mermaid Live‘s Shaggy and Pentatonix are all set to perform on the special, which will air on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW on Friday, December 13th.
On Christmas morning, the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade will air on ABC with special performances from the cast of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Grace VanderWaal, and more. Matthew, Jesse and Emma will host this special as well, along with young co-hosts, black-ish‘s Marsai Martin and The Lion King‘s JD McCrary.
“Driving on the way over here in the car, I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m actually going to do the wand ID.’ It’s kind of crazy, but I’m really excited,” Kylie dished in the behind the scenes video.
The waving of the wand is a staple on the network, and each cast member of a show typically does it, and it will play right before their show airs.
In case you missed it, Gabby Duran & the Unsittables has already been renewed for a second season, days before it premiered on the Disney Channel!
Disney Channel just announced that the new series, which premieres this Friday, October 11th, was renewed for another season.
“Gabby Duran & The Unsittables gives us a bold new heroine, brought to life by the incredibly talented Kylie Cantrall and our top-notch creative team led by showrunners Mike Alber and Gabe Snyder,†Kory Lunsford, Disney Channel’s vice president of current series, shared in a statement.
The series centers on the title character, a courageous 13-year-old girl who inadvertently lands a job babysitting an unruly group of VIP extraterrestrial children who are hiding out on Earth disguised as everyday kids.
Production on Season 2 of the show starts next February in Vancouver.
The Halloween-themed special allowed the studio audience and viewers nationwide to vote to on which direction the story will take.
“It was a crazy week sneaking around the set to rehearse, coming to set late after the cast has wrapped, the crew not letting me go to crafty because my cover would be blownðŸ˜,” Kylie wrote on Instagram. “All of it was worth it!! Happy the cast was surprised and that I got to contribute to this amazing live show!! It was incredibleâ¤ï¸.”
“And so happy I got to do my own spin on this Disney classic song ‘Callin all the monsters’ by @chinamcclain,” Kylie Cantrall added. “Thank you @disneychannel and @justrollwithitdisneychannel for inviting me to come perform! And of course to my amazing choreographers @j.youngcreative @paulkirklandofficial and my fireeee Dancer’s @lexeesmith @malloryjul @halle_henryyy @patienceaquart @markvillaver @moneswiff and styling @superroper 👻.”
