First day of Holiday season at Disneyland | Christmas Parade, Small World and more!

One of the best days at Disneyland of the entire year. The first day of the Christmas holiday season at Disneyland. All the shows and the lights and the characters in costumes. It's going to be awesome. Tonight we soak it all in while seeing the Christmas Fantasy Parade, Small World Holiday, the castle lighting ceremony and more. I couldn't stop smiling all night.

I think this video sets the record for how many viewers of the channel greeted you while you filmed. You could turn it into a drinking game!

[@tom111869]

Yes but I am not a fan of interrupting David when he is filming.

[@tamaeoverton533]

Not only viewers, but other KZbinrs as well!

[@axlent123]

@@tom111869 I get that.. it’s nice to see others saying hi while he’s filming… but it might get too be too much if he’s having to acknowledge greetings every minute..

[@dylanstyles8056]

I get this feeling that it strokes his ego to walk around in there and have people calling out to him as if he's some celebrity. That's one of the reasons the guy goes there 100+ times a year.

[@axlent123]

I dunno if it strokes his ego… it might for some.But for people like him, I’m guessing, it just shows that his passion connects with others, it’s confirmation that Fresh Baked is a community, And David being there a hundred days out of the year, true or not, Disney is his job. If I want to keep my job, I go to work too! If he wants to provide helpful, entertaining , informative, quality content, then being there is kinda important… and for that, I appreciate you David!

[@OwenM06]

WE NEED A FRESH BAKED AND PROVOST PARK PASS COLLAB VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@ACLPFilms]

Glad you went there. I was also there on that day. But that day was ruined by my mother. Who started a big fight over the food in New Orleans Square. She got into a emotional breakdown over being with my father. She traumatized me and gave me PTSD.

[@PeterGreeneRambo]

David, I enjoy your videos so much because of the pure, childlike joy you exhibit when you are in Disneyland or even just talking about the place! As a kid at heart myself (even at 63), I really enjoy your enthusiasm. When I watch your videos I feel like I'm there at Disneyland with you. You keep me up to date with everything going on in the park so when I get to make my few trips a year I know what is going on and what to expect. I've only been to Disneyland once during the Christmas holidays and that was when I was just a child. The more you share the park during the holidays, the more excited I become about my first adult holiday visit. I really hope that I am one of the lucky ones to run into you in the park so I can say hello and hopefully shake your hand

[@ainsleyperry5192]

FreshBaked. David, Well you've got Christmas off to a great start with this day at Disneyland. Capturing all the Christmas vibe. I don't know if it was me but there seemed to be more "Toy Soldiers" this year. As you walked around so many people greeted you. So I've had a word with Bob and Josh and they are going to set up a "Meet and Great" area for you in the park! Over the years the pizza at Pizza Planet has always been a disapointment.You'd think after all this time it would be something that they could fix. Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@Nevarez23]

I never get tired of seeing people recognize you while you're filming!

[@candlelady3313]

PLEASE, please, PLEASE do some HOLIDAY themed podcasts or visits with Ron. You guys have great talk show chemistry!!!!!🎉😊❤

[@bobbyimari7090]

Ah, a rare sighting of the Wild Chris Provost in his natural habitat.

[@roachiejh]

This is the first time in 3 years that feels like real Disneyland Christmas with full parades and everything. Last year was really toned down and we all know what happened in 2020. So no wonder you’re feeling the Christmas vibes.

[@Suzanne268]

The little girl’s reaction at 32:32 is everything!

[@RaeAnn_1202]

It was Fresh Baked Day at Disneyland! How fun!

[@Mike__B]

While I missed the Osborne light show at Hollywood studios in Florida by like 1 day on my trip (stupid disney policy about using tickets before you stay at the hotel), I do have to say how Disneyland lights up stuff like Small World just is fantastic.

[@mamabeebe8592]

“1, 2, 3… HAPPY HOLIDAYS” 😭

[@ritaloy8338]

I was not able to be there for the first day of the holiday season at Disneyland. But I know that I will have my share during this holiday season. My Imagine Key which is blocked for a few weeks and yet I know that I will be there during that black out time. Next Friday, 11/18, will be Mickey and Minnie's Birthday. There always a special celebration on that day and I already have my reservation for that day. Yet it will also will be a memorable day for me.

[@janinejohnson9654]

Love this video and the permasmile on David’s face ❤❤ Miguel and Janelle (Magic Journeys) didn’t like the pizza either. Lol. Too much salty meat.

[@carrievaldez3708]

I have never heard so many FRESH BAKED'S! So much fun. You are definitely a celebrity walking through the park. Gosh I love it's a small world holiday! By far my favorite overlay of any ride. So beautiful. Can't be there this Christmas so I'm going to enjoy the Christmas season with you 😁

[@brigitteluis5326]

Happy Holidays Fresh Baked!!! 🎅🎄☃️❄️

[@johntamulonis4626]

David at 12:03 you were looking for Ken and walked right by him! LOL!!!

[@JensVocalStudio]

I was there! I can see myself in the in the crowd during the parade video! Can’t believe I didn’t see you! I was looking for you!

[@MousesOnMainStreet]

I want to start out by saying I am not a Grinch I was there yesterday and the crowds were horrific I noticed a lot of the decorations are falling apart frayed faded ribbons stuff just looked cheap I was not impressed and please could you add some color to that tree the green lights just swallow it you could not get food two hour popcorn lines it was a nightmare there I felt so sorry for families who actually spent money for one day there I’m a passholder so we get to come back but overall I was not impressed Disney needs to step his game up if it really wants to keep people going there for the holidays I cannot in good faith tell people go there it’s amazing it’s like crappy old mall decorations nothing that great too many people and in less you want to spend your time camping out to see the parade it’s just not the same you can put blinders on and act like it is but it’s not it’s overcrowded overpriced you can’t even get food it’s a nightmare there if that’s your idea of a good time oh here’s Christmas you’re missing the whole point of the season Disney has lost it big time and it’s really sad and disappointing

[@danweaver2877]

Saw David twice this weeekend. So wanted to get a pic with him but just couldn't make it happen...

[@erincloak321]

I saw you a few times but never had a chance to meet you, I’m sad! Happy holidays!

[@akdisney]

Disneyland get ready for Disney Christmas Parade Music show recording that is stage lights and soon the stage be set up Also it's small world to stage will be set up

[@CP350z]

You’re truly the best at covering everything at the resort. Thanks David!!

[@candlelady3313]

Also, why were the Holiday Fireworks cancelled?

[@coreyjunk4392]

Loved this edition. We will be in Disneyland the week of Christmas and hoping to catch in the parks that week. Hopefully they’ll allow MagicKey holders to book some park reservations instead of making you buy day tix.

[@jameegraham9950]

This is getting me so excited for my trip in December. Thank you freshbaked

[@ginahillmer]

Thank you for this post. It just what I needed.

[@andierob]

Wow!! Amazing !! Can’t wait til my trip Dec 9-12!! I LOVE small world at Christmas! So pretty! Thanks for giving us this video 🎄☺️

[@julieross193]

Thanks for the video, it really got me in the mood for the holidays. I'll be there for the Candlelight choir on Sunday Dec 4th. Hope to see you and Liz. My nephew and I ran into both of you last year. 😊

[@heatherseib8875]

AMAZING edit on the parade!!!

[@donnytucker]

Tis the season! It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that we spotted the first Halloween merch in stores but that was three months ago already. It flew by! Great video!

[@harpsgrl]

Considering how many people were there I can’t believe you managed to film my sister and myself a couple of times! It was a great start to the Holidays at Disneyland!

[@virginialake5080]

Thanks David!! ✨🎄💚 The extra magic during the holidays is so special.

[@CLEMANSJK]

My two fav guys, David and Chris ❤. I want a shirt with both of you on it lol

[@carlysacks5760]

I’m coming the first weekend of December for my birthday and this got me super excited!! It will be my first time experience the Christmas season at Disneyland!

[@markvalencia2002]

David, it was a pleasure to meet you yesterday. Love your work brother!

[@FrugalFamilyFliesAgain]

Thank you for this! ❤️

[@AnnikaHaehle]

I’m going to the first day of the holiday season this year for my first time ever, on my birthday no less, and I’ve been watching videos to see what the most amazing parts are of Disneyland holiday season, and I have to say I loved this one so much. The fireworks on Main Street 😭! Thank you for showing me the way!! I’m sooo looking forward to it! ❤️🎄🎆

[@marcuscheng2507]

Happy Holidays Disneyland!!!

[@luvadventuresandart]

I can't wait for next November. We could go now, but I'm holding out for the run away railroad 😃

[@frankconti6591]

It will be here and gone before ‘we know it !!!🎄🎉 #2023’😅

[@cathybarber2624]

Thanks for sharing - have been to Disneyland over 10 times but next trip on Jan 6 and 7 will be first time we will see decorated for the holidays, believe it is the last weekend before they take them down. Looking forward to it!

[@JamesAcosta1350]

One word. Amazing…..

[@CharlesGreggo]

Happy holidays Fresh Baked!

[@jbarwick50]

It’s a Small World has put me in the holiday mood for sure! Thank you for sharing Disneyland with us! Merry Christmas 🎁 🎅 🎄 ❤

[@jeanettesmith765]

I'm going to Disneyland this Christmas. I usually go to WDW. It doesn't look like it is decorated as much as WDW, but I may be wrong. It looks awfully crowded, too, compared to WDW.

[@jeffjohnson6922]

I cannot begin to describe how excited this video made me. We are heading to the park on December 8th to spend a week. It will be our first post-pandemic family vacation and my four year old’s first visit since she was eleven months old. I cannot wait to see her face when we walk out onto Main Street and she sees, for the first time, Christmas at Disneyland!

[@axlent123]

Great Christmas parade… and the snow.. last night as we were closing the park down, headed down Main Street, I was filming all the decorations and lights, when it started “snowing”! I was not expecting that! (I may or may not have gotten a bit choked up in camera when this happened..) it was just amazing! But as for downtown Disney.. heavily lacking in holiday decor! Maybe we just came here too early for that?!?! Yes, no?

[@vickiwittmeyer4438]

That Pizza Looked Terrible!!!! Sorry For YOU.....😭😭😭😭😭

[@peteinla]

It's A Small World looked magical! Did you run into Spencer and Katie from Best Life? I haven't seen you guys collab in a while...are you all not friends any longer?

[@BernardManansala]

3:49 Love it when Disney Vlog Universes crossover.

[@lindamemo5224]

Everything looks amazing. Sad Wednesday the Santa Ana cancelled tue fireworks

[@prest0ncali]

How much longer until A Christmas Fantasy gets retired/cancelled because it isn’t inclusive enough of other holidays??? Serious question cause I feel like it’s coming soon 😢

[@lauri-jeancarlson8476]

there's new Dolls in wheelchairs on small world holiday

[@suzyq5865]

I love it when you speed up the footage instead of just editing it to be at Small World in the next frame. Also, didn’t you get the Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket? I don’t buy buckets but had someone send this to me and it’s adorable! I put it on our Christmas Tree.

[@disneyqueen7259]

I didn't realize I missed the "time to get ill" line from vintage (question mark?) FreshBaked until you said it! Shout out to Pop Mike🤜

[@artnoriega4127]

Great video David and love the Provost cameo. If you want a good charcuterie pizza the one at GCH Craftsman Bar and Grill is pretty good.

[@deliadrake263]

Happy Holidays 🎄🎄🎄🎄

Happy Holidays 🎄✨

[@kenc3686]

When you were at the first tree lighting last year? What time was it at? We're going to be there Friday this year (2023) for the first day of the holidays and I don't want to miss seeing it light up!

[@Christy-fv6bx]

Yay! Love the holiday season, I’ll be there on Tuesday!!

[@loualiberti4781]

Please go over the Disney Stock Crash. I am a total Pixie Duster and I have lost most of my retirement savings as I thought Disney was blue chip.

[@larivera]

Darn! I was at the park that day lol missed seeing you around 😢 one of these days ill get to. The holiday vibe was all there! So wonderful 🎉 the foods have been fun and tasty

[@AllanNightingale]

I was hoping you panned the 2 new wheelchair dolls Disney permanently added to Small World! I didn't see them but I hope you do :D

[@josephineadamo178]

Watched magic journey's and Janelle didn't like it. She said there was to much meat and it was really salty.

[@gdotbat]

Thanks for the video David! We will be there the 2nd week of December, which will be the first time in 3 years weve been to either park. We were already excited, but this video got me even more ready!

[@brclyn]

I'm loving how many people recognise you. You have to get your little ones reaction to the lights and snope. it will be a big thing for her this year.

[@WindowtotheMagic]

Kids love Snoap. She is gonna love it!

[@AbbyMurch]

David. We are are gonna be there next week. Do you know where tigger and Pooh are meeting guest while Santa is in Critter country?

Too bad the fireworks got canceled the first day, it was my wife's first time at Disney.

[@michaelmadsen1222]

Do you think the Native American statue on Main Street will ever be removed?

[@KeyTones-]

Please show us the Christmas tree - point the camera at it and look up and down please.

[@sisisoto9130]

I came across your videos on accident but you have easily became a favorite!!

[@jbarwick50]

You are truly loved! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ❤

[@taraanderson313]

Beautiful, David. Very well done.

[@danweaver2877]

I made the video!!!

[@WindowtotheMagic]

No, silly... David made the video. You're just watching it.

[@deniseberndahl7802]

there are already popcorn buckets on ebay for double the cost so sad

[@d.r.1446]

Are the podcasts with Ron still happening?

[@androidbox1807]

Wohoo christmas is getting closer and closer

[@busybodybaroness]

[@nancybarta8167]

Did you see in Small World the doll in a wheelchair!!!!Very nice.............

[@virginialake5080]

Awwwee. Walt would be proud. ♥️

[@Ktjeeper79]

Ha! Loved the Beastie Boys reference!

[@kayliiika]

I teared up a few times through out this video

[@princessdi702]

12:45 - Time to get Ill… I got that reference! 🤣

[@Woggle44]

Thanks for sharing the opening of the Christmas season with us all. Ain’t no Christmas like a Disneyland Christmas. Just wish they wouldn’t have changed the lighting ceremony to the ‘Yuletide Tree’ and left it as the ‘Christmas Tree’.

[@jbarwick50]

WOW! The tree is just beautiful ❤

[@camillesissons1619]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It’s soo magical and beautiful 🤩✨ I’ll probably never make it for Christmas but it’s a real dream so I love that I can at least watch it through your eyes 🤍✨

[@Mr.2E]

Photobombing Chris Provost 😂. I love it when my favorite KZbinrs worlds collide.

[@treysbabe1]

I absolutely loved this! We were there on Friday but left early around 4:30pm as it had been a very early day for us and I wanted to get out before it was too packed. But this was just heaven!

[@jbarwick50]

The Santa float is Beautiful and if that doesn’t get you in the Holiday mood nothing will! Merry Christmas to ALL! ❤ Christmas 🎄 🎅 🤶

[@jennamahaffy9553]

THE HULA GIRLS ARE BACK!!!

[@newlexness]

Awesome! Wish I was there too!

What time is it? 4:30.
