Disney songs to listen to at Christmas: a collection of classics that color the holiday season

Shining WishNEW!

Masaharu Fukuyama, Erika Ikuta – This Wish (From “Wish” / Japanese Version)

A duet by Masaharu Fukuyama and Erika Ikuta included on the Japanese-language soundtrack for Disney’s 100th anniversary film Wish.

It was released for streaming in October 2023.

The conversational structure—where King Magnifico and the heroine Asha align their hearts while holding their own wishes—is striking.

Building from a quiet introduction, the two voices intertwine and swell, conveying the message that wishes aren’t something granted unilaterally but should be supported by mutual understanding and empathy.

It’s a perfect song to listen to with someone special during the holiday season while sharing your wishes with each other.

Christmas Stories 2018

[TDL] [CD Audio] Christmas Stories 2018

With a title like “Disney Christmas Stories,” this song overflows with excitement the moment you see it.

It’s a medley that begins with narration and weaves together several pieces, but above all, it’s wonderful how those heroes are buzzing with anticipation for Christmas, cheerfully singing and chatting away.

I can’t stop feeling thrilled, too.

We Need a Little Christmas

We Need a Little Christmas

This is a song from the Christmas album of the musical drama Glee, which sparked a boom in the U.

S.

and in Japan.

It captures the fun Christmas party vibe of the characters spending their youth in a high school glee club, just like in the show.

Be sure to watch the series as well, and listen while soaking in the flavor of an American Christmas party.

Frozen Fantasy Parade 2018

Frozen Fantasy Parade (Edited Version)

This is the music used in the special “Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Fantasy” held at Disneyland.

It’s a work depicted as an after-story to Frozen.

A must-see for fans—sure to bring back lots of memories from the movie!

Overture (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack part 1

The opening title song from the film The Nightmare Before Christmas, created by Tim Burton.

It’s a curious piece where an ominous atmosphere coexists with the cheerful spirit of Christmas.

The original concept of blending Halloween with Christmas—a bold and innovative idea—is reflected in the music as well.

A masterpiece that crafted a new image of Christmas.

You can fly too!

You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly! [Peter Pan]

This is a song from the play Peter Pan, the story of the adventures of Peter Pan, who lives in Neverland, and Wendy and her brothers, who live in London.

It’s sung in the scene where Wendy and the others, thrilled to discover they can fly thanks to Tink the fairy’s magic dust, celebrate their newfound ability to soar.

Flying through the sky is just like Santa Claus arriving on his sleigh.

You might enjoy imagining how Santa felt the very first time he flew in his sleigh—maybe just like this!

Mickey's Christmas Carol

Mickey’s Christmas Carol

Disney songs created with cutting-edge technology in the parks are wonderful, but these classic Disney songs are great too.

This Christmas carol is as beautiful as a hymn, and it evokes the long, profound journey of Walt Disney alongside advances in animation and the history of entertainment.
