Celebs like American Idol winner Kris Allen, The Jonas Brothers, Céline Dion, Mariah Carey’s husband Nick Cannon and others were on hand to pre-tape live performances at Disney World this week for airing on TV on Xmas night. Here are a few pics of these celebs posing for fun pics at the Magic Kingdom this week and some deets about the upcoming TV special set to air on Xmas:

‘Tis the season to be merry at Disney Parks, when the 26th annual “Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade,” featuring award-winning musical talent and iconic stars performing in this year’s television special, airs December 25 on ABC-TV. This year’s show promises to dazzle viewers with must-see performances by Celine Dion and Stevie Wonder. Pop sensations the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato spread joy to all as enchanting sounds from world-renowned musical artist Yanni and his Yanni Voices echo through the park. “American Idol” Season 8 winner, Kris Allen, will perform and “Wizards of Waverly Place” star Selena Gomez will make a special appearance in the annual telecast. From the newest Disney Princess – Tiana – to Mickey Mouse and all his ‘toon pals,’ beloved Disney characters will embrace the holiday spirit aboard awe-inspiring floats that “deck the halls” as they glide through the Disney theme parks. Two of television’s most popular celebrities will appear as the hosts of this year’s program. From the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, popular morning show personality Kelly Ripa returns as host, doubling her duties while partner Regis Philbin recovers from recent surgery. At Disneyland Park in California, worldwide television and radio host Ryan Seacrest takes center stage for the West Coast festivities. Nick Cannon, from “America’s Got Talent” makes his “Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade” television debut as co-host/man-on-the-street for the telecast. The two-hour televised special will air nationally in High-definition December 25 on ABC-TV at 10 a.m. Eastern and 9 a.m. Central, Mountain and Pacific times.
Sounds cute, right? I love me some Disney family fun so this might be worth watchin’ but I actually prefer enjoying my Disney fun in person. Nothing takes the place of the fun you can have hanging out at Disneyland in person. Even so … I prolly won’t be able to resist watching Céline Dion bust out in seizures as she belts her those holiday tunes. I guess it might be fun to watch. Will you be tuning in for this?
