Can You Watch The Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade on Disney Plus?

Merry Christmas! I hope you all got what you asked for! If that something happens to be an answer as to where you can watch the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade, then I’ve got you covered.

The star-studded Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade will kick off at 10 AM EST and 9 AM PST. It will be broadcast “live” on ABC, but what about the streaming services?

For whatever odd reason, the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade won’t be streaming today. Nope. According to the Disney Parks Blog, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow, December 26th, to catch it on Hulu and Disney+. 

It’s unfortunate that the two-hour-long event won’t be available on Christmas for people who pay for Hulu and Disney+. Maybe that’s to do with some terrestrial broadcasting rights or something?
