Announcer: Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
This is the "Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade."
Get ready for special holiday performances from...
...with co-hosts Marcus Scribner and Sherry Cola.
Now, please welcome your hosts, Derek Hough and Julianne Hough.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, everybody!
Hey!
And happy holidays
from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
[ Cheers and applause ] Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Where we are still celebrating the 50th anniversary
of the most magical place on earth.
You know, watching the Disney Christmas Day Parade
on Christmas morning has been a tradition since 1983.
And Julianne and I
have had the honor of bringing this show
to all of you for almost 40 years.
Um, wait, wait, wait, Derek.
That math doesn't check out.
[ Laughs ] It's more like seven.
Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. [ Laughs ]
But who's counting, right?
Well, we know how busy and challenging
life can be these days.
So for you to decide to spend this special day
with us and our Disney family means so much.
So true, Julianne, and seriously,
we really look forward to this time
with all of you every single year.
So get ready because we've got a fantastic show
with wonderful holiday performances,
exclusive sneak peeks, amazing floats,
and what you've all been waiting for,
a personal appearance from the man himself --
Both: Santa Claus!
[ Cheers and applause ] Whoo!
You know what? Everybody's here,
and it's a Disney family affair.
Bringing us coverage from the parade
as it happens, we have, from Freeform,
"Grown-ish" star Marcus Scribner,
and "Good Trouble's" Sherry Cola.
So let's go to Disneyland Resort in California
right now where they're standing by.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thanks, Derek and Julianne.
Now, this is year two for me,
and I'm just as excited as if it were my first time.
Marcus, you're the rookie here,
so just follow my lead and I'll show you the ropes.
Oh, thank you for that, Sherry.
You know, I'm a huge fan
of the Christmas Day Parade.
I've been coming to Disneyland since I was a kid.
And being here today
makes me feel like a kid all over again.
Aww, super cute photo, Marcus.
And speaking of super cute,
check me out here at the happiest place on earth,
on one of the happiest days of my life.
Adorable.
Right? [ Chuckles ]
How far we've come.
Who knew we'd grow up to be standing here
together hosting this magical tradition?
Congratulations.
You're now a member of an elite club,
and I just have one bit of advice.
What's that?
Have a great time!
Come on, we're at Disneyland on Christmas.
Not gonna be a problem. Trust me.
Oh, and here comes the parade right now.
I can see it.
Check out those toy soldiers.
They've been guarding one of the North Pole's
most beloved people.
Of course, I'm talking about
the one, the only Mrs. Claus.
Oh, and there she is. Hi, Mrs. Claus!
Sherry, I know you're the expert here,
but I think I can stump you.
Name one of Mrs. Claus' favorite pastimes.
Hmm, that's easy!
It's dancing with the elves.
In fact, I think she choreographed
this whole number they're doing.
Check out those moves.
There's Minnie and Mickey!
And my good friend Donald Duck.
That guy is such a trendsetter.
10 out of 10. I mean, talk about grit.
Alright, right now,
let's go back to Walt Disney World
with Derek and Julianne,
while I take another look at my notes.
Wow. Alright.
Well, thank you so much, you two.
The Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade
has finally started,
so why don't we celebrate the occasion
with some great holiday music?
This group is a worldwide phenomenon.
They've sold over 50 million albums around the globe
and probably a few other planets.
Let's be honest. [ Chuckles ]
They're definitely out of this world,
and they always bring the party wherever they go.
Taking the stage right now,
here are the legendary Black Eyed Peas!

Whoo! Black Eyed Peas!
That was amazing! Oh, my goodness.
First of all, so good to have you back here.
What is it like to actually be performing on Christmas Day,
and why does that make it extra special?
It is fantastic.
It's a dream come true. We're honored to be here.
This beautiful stage in front of this beautiful backdrop.
Like, seriously, like...
dang.
A few of you actually have a history
with Disney Parks.
What does it feel like to be back here?
So, ladies and gentlemen, I know we are in Disney World.
I used to be a custodial worker in 1994-'95
in Anaheim at Disneyland.
Thanks to Disney, I learned work ethic,
I learned persistence,
holding on to my dreams and my aspirations,
'cause during the day I was working at Disneyland,
at night I was pursuing my dreams
with the Black Eyed Peas.
[ Cheers and applause ] Amazing. I love it.
Yes! Tell us your history.
I was adopted as a kid from the Philippines,
and the first place I went to was Disneyland.
And it was over. I was like, "Oh, my God,
I want to stay in America forever."
And here I am.
Aww, that's amazing.
I just got chills hearing that story.
Well, thank you so much. That was unbelievable.
Give it up one more time for Black Eyed Peas!
Whoo! Thank you.
That was awesome.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours.
Merry Christmas, everybody! Merry Christmas!

Meghan sure knows how to bring the holiday cheer.
Amazing. Most definitely.
Okay, Derek,
guess what's coming to the Magic Kingdom next spring?
What's that? I will give you a little hint.
It's one of the fastest coasters
at any Disney theme park in the world.
Was it inspired by Disney's movie "TRON"? Uh-huh.
TRON Lightcycle Run. I cannot wait for that ride!
And we've got a sneak peek at this high-speed adventure
coming right here to the Magic Kingdom this spring 2023.
Freeform's Trevor Jackson and Daniella Perkins
went to Tomorrowland for a behind-the-scenes look
at TRON Lightcycle Run, so check it out.
Hey, guys, we're here at Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland,
where Walt Disney's vision of the future is on full display.
Daniella: That's right, this is where classic attractions
like Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress and Space Mountain
broke ground on what the future of Walt Disney's Imagineering
could look like. Yes.
And today is especially awesome.
We're very excited because we get to visit
the newest attraction -- TRON Lightcycle Run.
I think we should head over there now.
Oh, yeah. Let's go. What do you think? Let's do it.
Hey, welcome! Hi.
You guys are gonna need these.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
Welcome to TRON Lightcycle Run. I'm Chris.
I'm the creative director for the project,
and you guys are here at like, the perfect time,
'cause we're right in the middle of test and adjust
and there's so much to share with you.
Wow, okay, so I have a question for you.
Why TRON?
I mean, have you seen the movie?
[ Laughs ] Right?
That story was amazing. Those movies were incredible. Yeah, they are.
I remember watching it for the first time
and all I wanted to do was go into the grid
and be a part of those incredible battles
and games that took place.
You'll get to see in a minute.
You get to board it and you sit down,
and, you know -- Wait, so you're like this on it?
Oh, yeah, just like you're on the bike. Oh, wow.
And then we get to launch you into the grid,
so it's quite a thrill.
I mean, look. Here it comes. It's not gonna disappoint.
Yeah, it's one of the fastest roller coasters
here at Walt Disney World. Wow.
Okay, wait, that's incredible.
So what's your favorite part of the ride?
That right there. That?
[ Laughter ]
Should we go inside and check it out?
Oh, absolutely. Yes, yes.
Let's do it. We gotta do that.
[ Alarm blares ]
Here we are.
We're here in the load station of TRON Lightcycle Run.
You know, this is such an immersive experience,
like, from the detailing to the lights.
What would you say is the most difficult thing
when it comes to creating a space like this?
I would say it's bringing hundreds and hundreds
of incredibly talented Imagineers together
who are lighting designers
and ride engineers and storytellers
to create a space that's immersive like this.
Yeah, I mean, I definitely feel like
I'm in the movie right now.
Good, that's what we were trying to achieve
with that immersiveness. Mission accomplished.
What the really cool thing is,
we're getting ready to test the ride and we're getting ready
to launch some Imagineers into the grid.
Do you want to see it? Yes. Oh, yeah.
Alright, here we go. Oh, look, they're taking off!
Oh! Hi!
Good luck, guys! Have fun.
See you on the other side.
That looks so cool.

Oh, those are my homies. I miss them so much.
Wow, that looks really cool. I cannot wait.
My buddy Trevor will be back with an amazing performance
a little later in the show, but coming our way right now
is something that is literally cool.
It's the Winter Wonderland float!
Okay, there is no time for jokes, Marcus.
Save the puns for later.
We have some serious, serious facts
to get out right now. Okay.
Like, did you know that there are three poems
that appear throughout the parade?
And the first one welcomes us to Anna and Elsa's frozen realm.
That is awesome. And did you see that massive Christmas tree?
Absolutely beautiful.
You know, mine actually looks just like it.
Seeing it in person last year inspired me
to step my game up this year.
Hmm. That's Disney.
Always inspiring us to dream big.
And speaking of big,
2023 is the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company.
I can remember the first time I felt the magic of Disney --
watching "Hercules" inspired me to be strong.
Mm. How about you, Sherry?
I was lucky enough to attend the world premiere
of the live action "Mulan."
Seeing such a classic film come to life
meant the world for the whole community.
That's awesome.
Well, the Disneyland Resort
is celebrating in a spectacular way.
Starting on January 27th,

So crazy. We met on "American Idol."

I've done so many Christmas albums, you know,

And now Katharine McPhee.
But you get used to recording in July,
'cause you have to do it in July in the heat.

Sort of like how it is right now.
Yeah, it's just, recording is recording.
I feel like it's gotten me into the Christmas spirit
much earlier this year, so that was -- that's been fun.

since we made this record.
That's the tradition. I just love it.

Sherry: Welcome back to "Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade."
I don't know why, but I kind of
just got a craving for something sweet.
Marcus: Uh, that's probably because the candy house
is making its way by Sleeping Beauty Castle as we speak.
Did you know that the gingerbread house float
is almost 16 feet tall,
which by gingerbread house standards, is absolutely huge?
That is a lot of gingerbread.
And it's been a part of the Christmas Fantasy Parade
since 1995. 1995?
You know, I've dreamt of living in it since I was a kid.
Wouldn't it be great to just take a bite
out of a table when you feel hungry?
I mean, you'd never have to go grocery shopping.
Yeah, you should probably talk to Pluto or Goofy
about renting it out.
I'm sure they can hook you up.
Maybe don't mention the part about eating it, though.
Good advice. Yeah.
You know, this float also comes fully loaded
with a recipe for gingerbread treats.
I've made them -- well, I've tried to make them,
and they're delicious.
Alright, let's check back with Julianne and Derek
and see what's happening back
at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, I can never get enough of that candy house.
I love it.
[ Laughs ] Yeah, me too.
I even had a dream that I lived in it
and I ate this giant marshmallow.
When you woke up, was your pillow missing?
As a matter of fact, it was missing.
[ Laughs ] Oh.
Okay, well, you'll probably be fine?
Probably?
Okay, we told you
we had some awesome surprises in store for you,

Happy holidays. Merry Christmas.
Happy holidays,
and I hope you have a great, merry Christmas.
Hi, it's Elle Graham from "Secrets of Sulphur Springs."
I hope you have the best holidays
with your family and friends.
We're back!
The heart of the magic of Disney comes from its cast members,
a group of people dedicated to making the Disney experience
come alive for every single guest.
We're about to meet a lifelong Disney fan
whose dream came true eight years ago
when he became one of those cast members,
and now he's a recipient of the highest distinction
cast members, crew members,
Imagineers, and employees at Disney Parks can get --
the Walt Disney Legacy Award.
Let's meet Jonathan Maisel.
[ Cheers and applause ]
My name is Jonathan Maisel,
and I am a park duty manager here at EPCOT.
I grew up in Florida,
I'm originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
and Walt Disney World
was my family's vacation destination.
It was always the cast members that made me
keep wanting to come back to Walt Disney World,
because every time I met a cast member,
it was just a different interaction,
and the magic it created for me,
I always knew as a kid, this is where I wanted to be.
So I've been a cast member at Disney here for eight years.
Our role as the park duty manager
is helping maintain the park.
So we're going around, checking in
with all our lines of business
and just seeing the flow of the park.
You look a little lost. How may I assist you today?
Have fun tonight!
I think my favorite part of interacting with our guests
is finding out more about them.
Where are they traveling from? Why are they here?
You know, what are we celebrating today?
So to see the smile on their face
when they come through the gates,
it's just unbelievable.
The Legacy Award is a very, very prestigious honor
that only a very small percentage
of our cast members are nominated for
and then selected.
Jonathan: It's through a whole nomination process,
and it's all a surprise, so you have no idea.
For me, I was actually in a meeting, and I look,
and there was that Walt Disney plaque
and my name, and I was just stunned.
Karen: He is so deserving.
Jonathan has always had a very strong cast focus.
Our cast are so important.
Having them know what their value is really translate
into how they perform their role
and how they make our guests feel.
I think the most important thing about this award
and receiving it is that it came from peers
who felt that I do dream, create, and inspire.
Every day, putting on this name tag,
I still shake every day.
Karen: When people see someone wearing a blue name tag,
they automatically
put you in almost like a different category.
And for Jonathan, I think when they see him,
they know that.
But then when they start to talk to him,
because he smiles and the way he makes people feel,
they're like, I see why he's gotten it.
It was just such an honor to receive this award
and to wear this blue name tag every day
is just outstanding to me.
Jonathan is just one of many cast members
who have been part of the Disney magic for the past 50 years,
and you can continue to be a part
of the 50th anniversary celebration
of the most magical place on Earth
through March 31, 2023.
Now let's head over to the happiest place on Earth,
Disneyland Resort,
to see some of that magic and wonder in action.
Marcus, Sherry, what's going on over there?
Derek, Julianne!
We are witnessing the regal beauty
of the Candlelight Christmas Ball.
I know!
That's why I'm curtsying.
We are in the presence of royalty, Marcus.
Oh, right, yes. My bad.
Perfect form.
And look, there's Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen,
Cinderella and Prince Charming.
Aurora and Prince Phillip, Belle and Beast.
Ariel and Prince Eric.
All these couples are relationship goals.
I actually have some spoken word I'd like to throw out.
Here it goes. [ Clears throat ]
"Prince and princesses, hand in hand.
Joy and peace reign through the land.
True love comes to one and all
at our Candlelight Christmas Ball."
That is good. Did you just make that up?
Nah, I'm just reading it off the float.
But doesn't that just say it all?
Yeah, it does. And you know what?
Hosting this parade is really a dream come true.
Yeah, Disney is all about making wishes come true.
That's why they teamed up with Make-A-Wish
to grant over 145,000 wishes and counting since 1980.
Disneyland was actually a part
of the first official wish ever granted,
and they have been renewing hope, uplifting spirits,
and uniting family, friends, and communities
with life-changing experiences ever since,
and will continue to do so.
That is beautiful.
And right here with us are three awesome kids
from Make-A-Wish enjoying the parade.
Say hi to Samantha, watching the parade over there.
And also Justin with his family.
And there's Ricky enjoying the floats.
They look like they're having a great time.
We'll be right back.

Now, we know the holidays are all about gathering with family,
friends, and loved ones.
But what about the other days of the year?
After noticing her schoolmates were having a difficult time
making friends and feeling lonely herself,
Sammie Vance decided to take action
to help even the shyest kid make a buddy.
Check it out.
Hi, I'm Sammie Vance.
I'm 14 years old,
and I'm the founder of Sammie's Buddy Bench Project.
When I was 8 years old,
I heard about what a buddy bench was.
She said, "Mom, it's a place where somebody can sit,
and if they're lonely,
it signals somebody else to come over and ask them to play.
So my school needs this.
I see other people lonely, and I'm lonely."
To feel lonely,
it kind of leaves just an empty pit in your stomach.
I've been lonely myself, and it's not a good feeling,
so I didn't want others to feel that way.
♪♪
Jeremy: She had that empathy,
wanting to make sure that everybody else
was feeling included and valued.
My mom found the company that makes benches
out of plastic caps and lids.
I like to call it a three-in-one
where it helps the environment, friendships,
and also helps to bring the community closer together
while collecting the caps.
Hi, guys, how are you?
Students: Good.
Sammie: Before I started Sammie's Buddy Bench Project,
I was a lot less outgoing.
A shy little girl that could barely utter a few words
knew she needed to do it, and so put herself out there.
How many buddy benches have you collected
since you've started?
Over 250 buddy benches across the world.
The furthest one right now is in Ghana.
Where was the first buddy bench?
Can you make them in different colors?
Who helped you?
All of Fort Wayne and across the U. S.
helped me collect caps.
Pretty much everyone.
I started with just some benches at my school,
and it's grown into a podcast.
I published a book.
We started something called Caps for a Cause.
Basically, we collect caps and we make them into murals.
Woman: She's on a mission, and she's always finding new ways
to show kindness.
She's a role model, definitely.
Sammie: I think what keeps me motivated
is knowing that the impact I'm having
will hopefully make, like, a chain reaction,
spreading kindness throughout the whole world.

and are looking fabulous.
They're giving us a preview of what guests can expect
starting next year here at Disneyland Resort
in California, when Mickey and Minnie
and some of your favorite friends will all be dressed
especially for this wonderful occasion.
And you can check out the brand-new attraction,
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway,
coming to Disneyland Park.
It all starts January 27th.
Hey, I see the big Christmas tree!
You know what that means!
It's the moment we've all been waiting for!
The arrival of Mr. Christmas himself -- Santa!
Hi, Santa!
I'm new! My name is Marcus!
He's Santa. He knows everyone's name.
I know. I just got nervous.
Merry Christmas, Sherry! Merry Christmas, Marcus!
Hi! Wow!
Well, there you have it!
Santa has arrived,
capping off another spectacular Disney Christmas Day Parade.
You know, it was a pleasure hosting
with you, Marcus, from the happiest place on Earth.
No, no, the pleasure was all mine, Sherry.
Merry Christmas, and happy holidays to everyone.
That's all for us here at Disneyland, but you can catch me
when "Grown-ish" returns on January 18th.
And new episodes of "Good Trouble"
are around the corner.
Back to you, Derek and Julianne.
Whoo! It never gets old.
Seeing Santa makes me feel like a kid every single time.
What a perfect way to celebrate the holidays.
And now to take us home, it's an award-winning
singer, songwriter, and producer
with no shortage of hits to his name.
Here to spread some more holiday cheer,
put your hands together for Ne-Yo!

Hey! Wow!
What a performance. Whoo!
Is it me or does the Disney Christmas Day Parade
get even more magical every year?
It does, because the real magic is getting to celebrate together
with friends and loved ones.
We're so grateful that you invite us into your homes
to continue this tradition.
We hope you enjoyed the parade and performances
as much as we did.
A special thanks to Sherry and Marcus
and all the performers,
and an extra special thanks to all of you.
Merry Christmas, everybody! Whoo!
