I wish they didn't have so many Disney Channel caliber singers. They are so overly sweet they make my teeth ache. I'd much rather hear Country singers with talent. Who don't need to lip sync with the same generic machine music that Brittney Spears used, back when she was hot.

The Christmas parade show, now more performances than parade, is purely a marketing vehicle for the parks, the channels, and the other products of the Disney Company.

Take one Christmas Day Parade that was excellent and done live for years, with top-notch entertainers and singers. Remove the live element. Remove the top-notch entertainers and singers. Turn it into a 90 minute infomercial. Then add 2-3 more "specials", because if one Christmas parade is good, then 3 Christmas specials are better (According to Iger/Chapek-logic), further watering down the "talent" used. Then, wonder why people don't tune in like they used to. Maybe because IT'S NOT SPECIAL ANYMORE???

I'll give them getting Sting to perform (the singer, not the wrestler ). Nostalgia sells, remember. The rest...

Ahhhhhh Christmas, Tis the season to be inappropriately close to strangers who don't believe in wearing deodorant. And waiting in long lines where people play loud guessing games with no disregard to the people around them. Ahhhhhh Merry Christmas.

You just described Megacon.

Any word on when the 2021 Christmas special tapings are if any during park hours?

Should be soon after Christmas decorations go up on Main Street in MK.

This is one of those occasions where it may be more appropriate to open a new thread than to continue a thread from two years ago...

Sat down with a cup of coffee on my day off and opened this forum to get my Disney fix for the day, and the first thing I see is a political discussion. I am SO SICK of politics invading every aspect of my life! There are threads where you can express your political beliefs if you must. I’m not on this site for that and purposely avoid those threads.
Make the best decisions you can for yourself and your family, BE KIND, be sympathetic, be empathetic, be a responsible citizen. Have a magical day!

What on earth does that have to do with this thread?

Yeah, I wasn't originally going to click on this thread because I thought the title told me everything I needed to know.

Honestly, it doesn’t matter much anymore since tapings for the 2 hour Disney Holiday Infomercial+ are consumer-free these days.

I have a feeling this might be the case. The tapings during park hours were cool. I hope that comes back.

We can’t say never but… it likely never will. I won’t go into my opinions as to why, but my disdain for what they put out these days is well-known.
