Gwen Stefani, Lady A, more to perform on Disney's Christmas Day Parade

Disney is bringing a little extra sparkle to your Christmas morning with the "Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade."

The special will feature performances from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland Resort in California, Disney Cruise Line, and Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko'Olina, Hawai'i.

Performers include Gwen Stefani, Lady A, Coco Jones, Mariah the Scientist, Bebe Rexha, Nicole Scherzinger and "American Idol" winner Iam Tongi.

"It is gonna be amazing. I get to do one of my favorite Christmas songs called 'White Christmas' and we're at Disneyland," Stefani told On The Red Carpet. "I grew up here in Anaheim so to be here doing Christmas music and being part of people's holiday is beyond."

"We are just so excited to be here, it's the most magical place on earth and we just love Christmas," said Lady A's Hillary Scott.

"I feel like a real-life princess being here and just to be a part of this Disney tradition, it's a dream come true," said Scherzinger.

Some of that Disney magic is headed to your living room with the "Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade." It's hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Ginnifer Goodwin and features performances by Lady A, Gwen Stefani, Iam Tongi, Nicole Scherzinger and more and airs Christmas morning on ABC.

Guiding viewers through the experience are Alfonso Ribeiro and Ginnifer Goodwin.

"It's a great way to spend Christmas morning with your fans and be able to say thank you and give them a great, great parade because that parade is probably the best parade in the world," Ribeiro exclaimed.

Goodwin got all in her feelings when she spotted her "Zootopia 2" character Judy Hopps in the parade.

"I'm mind blown. I've obviously seen Snow White in the parks since I was a little girl but now to see Judy Hopps there... and I'm always like, 'that's the real Judy Hopps!' She's actualized! There's something other level about it," she explained.

"Lilo and Stich" star Maia Kealoha serves as parade correspondent and her excitement level is, as she put it, "100.5 million five million five!"

"I will be watching the parade more and just having crazy fun with it," she said.

Viewers will also be able to catch sneak peeks of Disney and Pixar's "Hoppers" and the live action adaptation of "Moana."

"Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade" airs Christmas morning at 10am. EST, 9am CST, 5am MST and PST on ABC. It'll also stream at 11am EST/8am PST on Disney+ and Hulu.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC station.
