Disney's Holiday Greetings From Disneyland: The Merriest Place on Earth (1998)

This rare UPN TV special only aired once and is hosted by Will Shriner. The special covers some of the Christmas observances at Disneyland in the late 1990's.

The conversion of Small World to sing Jingle Bells. This was the first Disney attraction to be rethemed for the Christmas season.

There's a few soundbites from Disney imagineers and a brief comment from Walt Disney songwriter Richard M. Sherman. He rarely gave interviews without his brother Bob with him. We also see some of the costumed characters perform with their animation voices. The highlight is a night time Christmas parade. Country singer McBride also performs Silent Night and the Evangelistic Mass Choir sing a song of Christ. Marc Antoine also performs O, Tannenbaum.
