2020 is no normal year, and we all know that is true. Still, Disney wants to give fans something that will make the holidays even more magical. The details and performer list has now been revealed for The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration which will air on Thanksgiving night.
The fifth anniversary of the special holiday event will be kick-started by Derek and Julianne Hough, and hosted by Trevor Jackson of grown-ish. It will air at 9:00 P.M. Eastern / 8:00 P.M. Central on Thursday evening on ABC.
While guests will tune in for unique musical performances and holiday events, there is much more on the way. Those watching will also get a new sneak peek inside Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure which is set to open in EPCOT sometime in 2021.
A special preview for Disney-Pixar’s Soul will also air during the holiday special, and it will be released on Disney Plus on Christmas day.
