Every Christmas brings several traditions that almost everyone experiences: shopping for too-expensive gifts, traveling to see relatives, watching live sports while digesting food, ignoring the carolers who are singing outside, and watching Home Alone over and over again.
For many Americans, watching the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade is also one of the hallmarks of the holiday. Whether it’s watching your favorite Disney character wave enthusiastically to the crowd around them or seeing performances from singers and musicians from a variety of genres, there’s something for everyone at the event, which is why so many people tune in every year to watch it.
If you want to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and the gang usher in a celebratory Christmas, just go to ABC. The network will broadcast the parade for free on Hulu with Live TV.
Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade will be air at 10 a.m. ET on Sunday, December 25. The program will last two hours with commercial breaks.
If you view it on ABC, nothing.
The Hulu With Live TV has several prices. One ad-supported plan with 90-plus channels costs $70 a month and includes Hulu (with ads) + Live TV, ESPN+ and Disney+. The same plan with no ads (except on ESPN+) is $83. If you just want live TV with no access to any streaming library, that costs $69 a month. All the subcrittion details can be found on the Hulu website.
Your Hulu With Live TV subscription also comes with unlimited recording. That matches what’s available on YouTube TV, which offers 100 channels and costs $65 per month.
There are worse ways to usher in Christmas Day. The Disney parade is great to have on the television when you’re unwrapping presents, ignoring relatives, or just want to watch your childhood favorites like Mickey Mouse ride around on floats.
Plus, the event has a star-studded lineup of musical talent singing some classic Christmas songs. Here’s who is scheduled to perform:
The event will be hosted by Derek and Julianne Hough from Dancing in the Stars. They will be joined by Good Trouble‘s Sherry Cola and Marcus Scribner.
Watch the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade and celebrate Christmas with Mickey!
China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
