DWTS fans blast Disney Christmas parade – despite Julianne and Alfonso hosting

   
 

Hosts of Dancing with the Stars, Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, led this year’s Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade on ABC, but many DWTS fans weren’t impressed.

While the show also featured performances from big names like John Legend, Elton John, Carly Pearce, and SEVENTEEN, viewers took to social media to voice frustration, saying the broadcast felt more like a commercial than a celebration.

One DWTS fan wrote on social media: “Hi, Disney. I love you but can we have a little more PARADE and a little less ads.”

“Right? I just told my husband this feels more like an ad for Disney Cruise Line than a Christmas parade,” another added.

 

“Why does the Disney Parade forget what Walt wanted? To be a kid again. Instead, it’s a play production and not so much about the characters. So disappointed again,” one user commented.

John Legend’s rendition of This Christmas also sparked mixed reviews.

One person said: “Dear John Legend, with all due respect, your version of This Christmas doesn’t hit the same.”

Another viewer added: “The red suit is sharp, but I hate listening to John Legend sing.”

Despite the criticism, others praised the tradition. “I always watch the Disney Plus Christmas Day Parade 2024 on TV every year on Christmas morning. Love this so much,” one fan shared.

But for many, the magic seemed to be missing, with one viewer summing it up: “As an adult, you really start to realize how the Disney Christmas Parade ain’t it. Because where is the actual parade?”
