‘Disney Frozen natal Celebration’ to Air December 25 on ABC 

Ahead of an official reveal, this year’s Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade could get a big dose of 

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party begins its run for the 2014 season November 7 in Orlando, and park guide maps for the event advertise a 

-ified tradition. As spotted by Orlando Attractions Magazine, the blurb reads:

“Watch the Disney Frozen Christmas Celebration, December 25, on ABC. Check your local listings for air times. 

The given web address sports a placeholder teaser page that titles the program, in its thirty-first year, as the “Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade.” For all anyone knows, though, the page could have been untouched all year long. If converted to a 

-themed telecast, the lineup would likely remain mostly the same (alternating parades from Anaheim and Orlando interspersed with live music performances), with an obvious slant toward 

incorporation. What that may entail remains a mystery.

Adding to speculation is a hint from this year’s celebrity narrator list for the Epcot Candlelight Processional. Kristoff’s voice actor Jonathan Groff headlines the event December 3-4, awfully close to when the Florida portions of the prerecorded Christmas Day broadcast is filmed, the first weekend of December. For what it’s worth, 2013 Christmas Day Parade host Neil Patrick Harris narrates the Epcot Candlelight Processional November 30-December 2. California segments are typically filmed Veteran’s Day weekend, in just a few days.

The parade has been an annual tradition since its first airing in 1983. Through several name, host, and format changes, it has essentially remained the same style. The program can be viewed as an accurate pulse of what successes Disney has achieved each passing year. It always spotlights new animated releases, but it has never slanted its entire contents toward one entity.

It’s no secret Anna and Elsa are being utilized excessively in all arms of the Walt Disney Company. An animated short called

 is in the works from Walt Disney Animation Studios, a 

story arc is the focal point of the current season of ABC’s 

, a sing-along version of the movie hits shelves November 18, a Disney On Ice adaptation is now touring, and the film is in the midst of a significant take-over in the theme parks. A permanent attraction will replace the just-closed Maelstrom in Epcot, a “temporary” stage show and merchandise location at Disney’s Hollywood Studios were extended indefinitely, and lines to meet the sisters are routinely the longest line on property.

Christmas itself is getting a bit of an Elsa takeover, as well. This year’s Christmas exclusive Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom trading card features the Snow Queen casting an icy princess spell. A new show, “A Frozen Holiday Wish,” will replace Cinderella with Elsa turning on the Castle Dream Lights. The new show and Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade will include the first-ever appearance of Olaf as a walk-around character in a Disney park. Over in California, 

debuted last year with Olaf as its host via water screens.

has made in the last year, but renaming the entire telecast really hits that nail on the head. Not only is this Disney’s biggest hit in ages, it’s one they’re blatantly proud of. Remember this time last year when we were giddy in the middle of Frozember? We’re reaping fruit.

What’s your take on the flurry of ‘Frozen’ takeovers? What would you want to see in a ‘Frozen’ Christmas Day special?

I go back and forth about Frozen being in the parks so much and the additions that are still to come. As a HUGE fan of the movie, I can be quite giddy about Frozen in the parks, but at the same time, it gets to be too much when you see it slowly taking over some areas. That being said, I am hoping to catch ‘A Frozen Holiday Wish’ on Wednesday or Thursday at the Magic Kingdom (or countless other times over the next few months). While I have enjoyed seeing Anna and Elsa in the Festival of Fantasy Parade and think the Sing-Along is a great addition to Hollywood Studios, I think other films deserve equal attention in the parks (poor Tangled with its bathroom and stroller area).

I do hope the Christmas broadcast is not exclusively Frozen, but maybe has the sisters taking on some host-like duties. This will be my first year attending a candlelight processional, and I am all ready to line up EARLY to see Kristoff…I mean Jonathan Groff.

Oh thank God it’s just a park thing. I though perhaps it was going to be some lame Christmas special using the actors from Once Upon A Time. And I was ready to go on a rant, about letting go.

I would love to see a Holiday Frozen special! and I think this is perfect profit no matter what people say how pretentious this is

I love the movie myself, but frankly, Disney needs to not oversaturate the market. I mean, if I wanna see Frozen, I’ll just watch my 3D Bluray copy. Would have interest in the park but it’s too expensive and too far away to go.
