All The Exciting Performers To Appear At The Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade This Year!

Every year, Disney Parks hosts a festive Christmas Day Parade featuring all of your favorite Disney stars and characters, as well as heartwarming holiday stories. One of the many highlights of the parade are its performers, and this year the parade will feature 7 of them! Here are all the performers to look forward to:

1. Gwen Stefani

This isn’t her first rodeo! Stefani released her first full-length Christmas album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas, in 2017, which was reissued with two new songs earlier this year. One of the songs she covers on the album is “White Christmas", which she’ll be performing at the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Resort.

2. Coco Jones

Initially known for her many appearances on Disney Channel, most notably as Roxie in the 2012 Disney Channel Original Movie Let in Shine, Jones has since broken out into the music industry! Earlier this year, she released her debut album, Why Not More?, which has been nominated for Best R&B Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. She’ll be singing "This Christmas" at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney's Hollywood Studios. 

3. Bebe Rexha

Rexha has released loads of fun pop and dance songs over the last several years, the most recent being her collab with DJ Netsky, “Light That Leads Me", which was released earlier this year. Her music’s strong pop influence makes "Last Christmas" the perfect song for her to be performing at the parade! Here’s a sneak peek of her performance at the Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom:

4. Nicole Scherzinger 

Nicole Scherzinger may have risen to fame as the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, but she’s been able to do many successful projects solo since then. Most recently, she won a Tony Award for her critically acclaimed performance as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard this past Spring. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at her greeting the crowd after filming her performance of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" at the Sleeping Beauty Castle:

5. Lady A

It’s been a festive year for Lady A! In September, the Grammy Award-winning country trio released their second Christmas album, On This Winter’s Night: Volume 2. The album features several original songs, as well as the trio’s takes on holiday classics. One of the songs featured on the album is “Winter Wonderland", which they will be singing in EPCOT’s World Celebration Gardens. 

6. Iam Tongi

In 2023, Iam Tongi made history being the first person from Hawaii, as well as the first Pacific Islander, to win “American Idol". Later that year, he released An Iam Tongi Christmas, which features the holiday favorites, "White Christmas", "Mele Kalikimaka", and "The Christmas Song", all reimagined with his signature reggae style. He will continue to proudly represent his roots by performing "The Christmas Song" in Hawaii, from Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa.

7. Mariah the Scientist

It’s been a big year for Mariah the Scientist. She released her fourth studio album, HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY, in August and became the face of the campaign for Urban Decay’s Tube Job Tubing Mascara earlier this month. She will be singing "Please Come Home for Christmas" from the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom. 

The 42nd annual Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade will air on ABC starting at 10:00am ET, 9:00am CT, and 5am PT on Christmas morning, with same-day streaming on Disney+/Hulu!
