This holiday season, Disney Branded Television will deck the halls with joyful programming for the whole family, with two festive programming stunts — “Disney Channel’s Fa-la-la-lidays” and “Disney Jr’s Magical Holidays” — airing on Disney Channel and Disney Jr. from Friday, November 29, through Wednesday, January 1.
Highlights of “Disney Channel’s Fa-la-la-lidays” include new animated holiday episodes of Big City Greens and ZOMBIES: The Re-Animated Series. In addition, fans of Descendants: The Rise of Red can enjoy a brand-new “Red Christmas” music video and stay for an encore presentation of Descendants: The Rise of Red Sing-Along, where they can sing and perform with their favorite Disney characters.
“Disney Jr.’s Magical Holidays” will celebrate the season with the new Mickey and the Very Many Christmases animated special, Mickey and Minnie’s Christmas Carols stop-motion shorts and other holiday-themed Disney Jr. favorites. During the week of Dec. 9, Disney Jr. will also present “I’ll Have a Bluey Christmas,” featuring daily encores of its holiday episodes “Veranda Santa” and “Christmas Swim,” which have become a Christmas tradition for fans of all ages.
Additionally, Disney Jr. will once again be part of the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive and air a special “Disney Jr. Let’s Play” public service announcement, “Dear Santa.” The PSA encourages viewers to support the Marine Toys for Tots program and share the gift of happiness. (Watch here.)
