💓🎤💓🎤💓

(from least to most favorite)

#29 - Celebrate You (Corbin Bleu - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2008)

Don't get me wrong... even though this song is last on this list it doesn't mean I don't like it. This song is all about celebrating, which you know is something I LOVE! Not only is it about celebrating, but it's about celebrating YOU, which is such an important message! The only reason it's last on this list is because it isn't a Christmas song and the performance itself didn't have any Christmas vibes going on. However, it's still a really good song. So, I still recommend watching the performance. Let's hit play! 💓↓

#28 - Summertime Anthem (Jonas Brothers - Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade 2009)

Again, this song is low on this list, but only because it isn't a Christmas song. I mean, the song is titled Summertime Anthem... and that's exactly what it is! Perfect for summer... not so perfect for warm and cozy Christmas vibes! However, the performance itself is a lot of fun to watch and I love how everyone in the crowd randomly starts waving flags and dancing... Christmas flash-mob... I think yes! Also, I don't know if it's just the version I found, but you can't hear them singing that well during the performance. I can barely understand what they are saying, but I do love the beat of the song! So, what are we waiting for?!? Let's watch this Summertime Anthem performed during Christmas... 💓↓

#27 - Shake It Up (Bella Thorne & Zendaya - Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade 2011)

If you've read some of my previous blog posts, then you know that Shake It Up is one of my FAVORITE nostalgic shows and um... this performance brings back all of those nostalgic feelings! Not only do they perform Watch Me, which is a whole vibe in itself, but they also perform to the show's theme song! This performance is really short and not very Christmas-y and that is why it's low on this list. However, it's so upbeat and energetic! I love how there are so many dancers dancing along with Bella and Zendaya and how everyone's outfits are so colorful and bright! So, are you ready to watch some classic Shake It Up dance moves?!? Me too! 💓↓

#26 - Silver Nights (Sabrina Carpenter - Disney Parks Frozen Christmas Celebration 2014)

This performance would be so much higher if only it was longer! I love this original Christmas song and I'm really sad this performance is cut short. 😥 But, at least we get to hear even a little bit! The setting doesn't match the song that well, but it's still a great little performance! Let's check it out... 💓↓

#25 - Wonderful Christmastime (Meg Donnelly & Milo Manheim - Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration 2017) 

Honestly, I thought this performance would rank a lot higher. When I first saw it last year, I loved it! However, this year it seems slower than it did a year ago. It definitely has a mellow vibe, which I'm all for, but it also feels like something is missing. Meg and Milo's dance routine is cute, but am I the only one that feels like they weren't feeling super hyped during this performance? Again, it's probably just because this is a slower song, but I think there was potential for more Christmas flare! 🎄 I love how different Disney characters came on stage at the end... that brought the energy up a level! Even though this is lower on this list, I still love the fact that Meg and Milo sang a Christmas duet! Let's take a listen... 💓↓

#24 - All I Want For Christmas (Miley Cyrus - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2007)

As a kid, this performance would have probably hit my top ten... no joke! I used to be obsessed with this Christmas song, like every other person in the world! But, I guess that's why it's so low on this list now that I'm older. I've heard this song WAY WAY WAY too many times!! Like, WAYYYYY too many! It is fun hearing different versions though, and Miley's is fun and upbeat! I love the "fire" flare things that shoot up behind her and the stage setup in general. Red and white is always a classic choice! I know you've already heard this song a thousand times this season... the grocery store, the bank, restaurant bathroom, clothing store... everywhere!! But, here it is again and I bet you'll click play. Yep... I see you! Go ahead... I'll click play along with you... for old time's sake... why not? 💓↓

#23 - Greatest Time Of Year (Aly & AJ - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2006) 

This song almost hits in my Christmas classics category. I've heard this song so much growing up and for that reason, it's very nostalgic! This song reminds me of the Santa Clause 3 movie and makes me imagine the snow globe room in the movie... which is like one of the most magical scenes you can watch! I know this song didn't play during that part of the movie, but it just makes me think of that specific scene and I love it! The only reason it's low on this list is because there isn't much to the performance other than them playing their guitars. Guitar playing is super cool, but not the most exciting Christmas performance. But, they totally rock the guitars! So, that's worth clicking play... don't you think? Yeah, me too! 💓↓

#22 - Santa Claus Lane (Hilary Duff - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2002) 

Nostalgic. Yep. Just that one word. Nostalgic. It's funny because I was only three when this performance aired, but it gives me so many early 2000s feelings! Lizzie McGuire was a huge hit in my house when I was younger, which means so was Hilary Duff. 🎤 Honestly, I never saw this performance until this year. But, I know my younger-self would have loved it. The moving trees, the classy white float with stairs, Hilary Duff's iconic shy dance moves... it's all a vibe. The only reason it didn't rank higher is because the song isn't my most favorite. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that it's a Christmas song, but it's on the slower side of things. I still love this nostalgic performance though, and you'll love the nostalgia it will bring you too... I'm sure of it! 💓↓

#21 - Alas (Karol Sevilla y Ruggero Pasquarelli - Disney Parks Navidad Magica 2015)

I know... I know... this song isn't a Christmas song. But, it's still a GREAT performance and a song that I listen to ALL the time! I love the stage's aesthetic Christmas setup! The purple/blue colors are perfect! This performance ranks higher because it is one I don't mind watching over and over again. I love that they perform the classic Alas chorography that is the same in the live concerts and even the show's episodes! Karol and Ruggero always have good stage chemistry and seem to be having a lot of fun during this performance! So, even though this isn't a Christmas song, it's still a fun performance and one that is worth watching! 💓↓

#20 - Deck The Halls (Debby Ryan - Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade 2010) 

This song can get a bit repetitive, but it still rocks! Debby said in a Radio Disney interview during this parade that she wanted this song to be a rockin' version of the original and have a Paramore vibe. Now, I haven't heard many Paramore songs (more like none...), but she did nail it on the rock side of things! This is definitely a fun, upbeat song and she brings a lot of energy to the performance! Also, the cute fur ball that runs up to Debby at the end is the perfect ending to this performance! Let's watch it for the puppy... this is dedicated to you Santa Paws... but it's also dedicated to my sweet puppy Abby (I miss and love you Abby) 💓↓

#19 - What Time Is It (Christmastime) - (High School Musical 2 Cast - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2007) 

I never knew this existed until this year. How?!? Idk. But, now that I've seen it, I can't un-see it... you know? Now, it will play in my mind and I'll quote it year-round. Do I dislike that? No. No I do not. In all seriousness, this was going to be my number one choice when I first thought of making this list. No, I'm not joking. My NUMBER ONE!!! So, what made it move all the way to number nineteen?!? Well, first off, I think I watched it too many times in a row because I started to get a little tired of it... oopsies!

Secondly, I would have preferred if they would have changed the lyrics from "Time to get gifts" to "Time to give gifts"... you feel me? However, I know it's supposed to be a fun rendition of the original What Time Is It... so, it's not that serious. I do really LOVE how they made a fun Christmas version of a HSM classic song! This version did make me laugh, which is a huge plus, and I love how it's sort of chaotic! Let me know your thoughts after you watch it... 💓↓

#18 - Jingle Bell Rock (Aly and AJ - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2005) 

I've realized that there aren't many parade performances that actually happen on parade floats... hmm... weird... right? Well, this performance did happen on a parade float... or at least in front of one... hey, it's the closest we're going to get! This classic song is actually growing on me and I love how much energy Aly and AJ put into it. I have to say it... I'm going to say it... here it goes... this song rocks! Okay, I said it. I love seeing sisters perform together because I have two sisters and it's just cool seeing other sisters who are really close! There isn't a lot to this performance, but it's still upbeat and fun and of course, nostalgic! Let's listen to Aly and AJ's version of this Christmas classic... 💓↓

#17 - Jingle Bell Rock (McClain Sisters - Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade 2011)

Wait, did I put two versions of the same song back to back?!? Yep... I sure did! Not only that, but both versions are performed by sisters! Sister power! Woohoo!! The reason this version got ranked higher than Aly and AJ's is because of the vibey dance moves the McClain sisters add into the performance. Also, my favorite part is when they harmonize the word "rock"... of course it's the word "rock"... Lol. Harmonizing for the win!! I love how upbeat this version is and the choreography adds a lot to this performance... oh, and it's on a float too! Yay! What are we waiting for?!? Let's play this jingle and rock... yeah, it's late. So, this is what you're going to get for the rest of this post... 💓↓

#16 - Christmas Soul (Ross Lynch - Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade 2012) 

It's interesting because performances I originally had lower on this list moved higher during my final decision process and performances I had higher on this list moved lower. This is one of the ones I had lower and at the last second, it got moved way up! I didn't realize before how Christmas-y this performance is, especially the snow confetti that pops out! How fun!! This is a classic Austin Moon (Ross Lynch) performance! The reason I said Austin Moon is because I will always see this as an Austin Moon song since it was originally performed on the show with the character Austin Moon performing it. I love this song because it's all about having the Christmas spirit in your soul and just the word soul makes this song deep! I'm being for real. So, yeah, let's fill ourselves with some Christmas soul and jam out to this fun Christmas song! 💓↓

#15 - Girl Of My Dreams (Jonas Brothers - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2007)

This is another song that has grown on me... now that I say that phrase again it's starting to sound funny... but it's true! I have come to love this song for it's chaos! The "Fa la la la's" add more Christmas vibes to the song and also adds more randomness to the already random song! This is a fun, upbeat Christmas love song and of course the Jo Bros bring their energy and confidence to the performance! Also, of course right after I say the whole "there aren't any performances on actual floats" statement... the performances that are performed on floats now start to pop-up! Anyways, I love the vibe of this song and Joe's glasses are cool. I wonder if the scarf Kevin is wearing is actually from his grandma. Will we ever know? Probably not. Well, before I start typing things just to type them, let's watch this awesome performance, shall we? 💓↓

#14 - Wonderful Christmastime (Demi Lovato - Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade 2009)

Okay, I now retract my statement on the whole parade float performance thing. I was wrong. Wow. That took a lot to type that. Not really. Okay, this performance is ranked high because even though the float isn't the most decked-out in Christmas decorations, the song makes it feel like Christmastime! I know it's a Christmas song, but there is a difference when it actually gives you Christmas feels versus just talks about Christmas feels. Does that make any sense? Hey, I said it was late. Demi sings really good live and delivers this performance with ease. I just love the Christmas feeling I get when watching this performance! Oh, and my favorite part is of course the "la's"... it's always the "la's"... 💓↓

#13 - Cheetah-licious Christmas (The Cheetah Girls - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2005) 

This one was so close to hitting in my top ten, but it's also on the shorter side. Anything Cheetah Girls is a vibe all on it's own! This performance is no exception. I love the vibe of this whole performance and the song will definitely become stuck in your head after listening to it even once. I love their funky dance moves and their Cheetah-licious attitude! This performance is definitely one of my favorites and I can't wait to watch it again. So, let's just cut this short and watch it because we can do that. We really can! 💓↓

#12 - We're All In This Together (High School Musical Cast - Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade 2006) 

How High School Musical always seems to find itself high on every list... I don't know. The nostalgic it brings most likely or the encouraging lyrics that come with a lot of it's songs! The most encouraging being "We're All In This Together", of course! Even though this isn't a Christmas song, it's one of my FAVORITE parade performances because it feels the most parade-ish (if that's a thing). It incorporated so many people and the classic HSM choreography! Really the meaning of the song works really well during Christmastime because sometimes Christmas isn't the most happiest of times depending on whose going through what during the season. But, we are all in this together and we can all be strong for one another during this holiday season! I love the energy and just overall positivity this performance brings! So, let's get our heads in the game and watch this awesome performance! What team? WILDCATS! What team? WILDCATS!! Woooo!!!! 💓↓

#11 - The Christmas Song (Jordan Fisher - Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration 2016) 

Usually, my top choices get a drum roll because they're my top, but this one is technically number eleven and not one, so it doesn't get it's own drum roll. BUT... that does not take away how amazing this performance is! It's not over-the-top exciting and doesn't have a ton of energy... but it has a TON of soul. It's such a soulful performance! Jordan Fisher performs one of my FAVORITE Christmas songs and watching this made me feel so many Christmas vibes! His vocals are something else and even though I don't know much about him or his music, this one is definitely on my holiday playlist for now on! I love the mini-choir behind him and how everyone in the audience cheers when he hits those high notes! This whole performance is just a must-watch for Christmastime! So, grab a warm blanket and cozy up while you listen to a wonderful version of an AMAZING Christmas classic... 💓↓

                                                                    💓🎤💓🎤💓

Well, it's sad to say it, but that's the end. The end of a fun fa-la-la-lidays post! 💓🎄 I hope you enjoyed reading the rest of my ranking of these Christmas performances! I sure did have fun sharing it. 💓
