Disney+ Unveils Full Lineup For Christmas 2022

Well, Halloween’s been over for a few days now. Which means ’tis the season to stream holiday movies and shows. Every streaming service under the sun wants your subscription dollars, and they’re offering a bunch of merry new shows and movies to try and get them.

Disney+, for example, is hyping the fact that they’ve got The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, as well as a new TV show sequel to The Santa Clause starring Tim Allen. They’ve also got holiday-themed episodes of shows like Puppy Dog Pals, Raven’s Home, and Spidey and His Amazing Friends. And if you’re in the mood for something a bit less overtly festive, they’re also releasing a new animated sequel to Night at the Museum (shown above), a series of Zootopia short, the return of Willow, and a documentary series on health and longevity starring Chris Hemsworth. They’re even live streaming an Elton John concert on November 20.

You can see everything coming to Disney+ this holiday season below:
