When was Disney’s Christmas Parade special filmed?
The Disney Christmas Parade was filmed earlier and is not a live event. As per Dad’s Guide to WDW, the show was filmed in Anaheim, CA. Meanwhile, some parts of the event were filmed in various locations.
To begin with, the musical performances were shot at Hollywood Studios on November 3, Animal Kingdom on November 4, and Magic Kingdom from November 5 to 7.
It does not come as a surprise to know that the show was filed nearly a month in advance as a lot of editing is done before the final product is broadcast.
Who hosted the show?
The show was hosted by Derek and Julianne Hough at Disney World and Trevor Jackson and Sherry Cola at Disneyland in California.
Meanwhile, the event also saw performances from several artists. Here’s a list of all of them:
