Not the only Disney actor on hand, Maia Kealoha will be the voice on the street as she acts as the parade correspondent. Fans can watch Kealoha beyond the parade as she portrayed Lilo in the new live-action Lilo and Stitch.
For those who happen not to have cable – don’t worry. There are several ways to watch the parade. The event can be streamed on Disney+, Hulu, and even the Disney YouTube channel. And if the day is too busy, the celebration can be streamed until January 4, 2026.
It wouldn’t be a Disney celebration without a few performances. While parading down Main Street, U.S.A., the event will feature Coco Jones, Gwen Stefani, Bebe Rexha, Iam Tongi, Lady A, Nicole Scherzinger, and Mariah the Scientist.
