[@The321asdfff]

It's 2019 and this is still the BEST Disney Christmas Parade...

[@jennifermain9837]

By FAR my favorite

[@RobertAshburn]

its 2022 and this is still the best intro...

[@manuelorozco7760]

Neil Patrick Harris sure knows how to open a show! Kudos to the Newsies. For a decade, I've watched the Disney Parks Xmas parade every year to help me get the spirit of the day rolling

[@shady490]

Manuel Orozco lololol im just here because i saw the newsies on the thumbnail. They are indeed amazing!

[@manuelorozco7760]

I loved the filmed performance starring Jeremy Jordan presented by Fathom Events. Anyway Merry Christmas

[@percylover123]

Round of applause for whoever choreographed this.

[@muse7057]

percylover123 usually nph plan the choreography himself

[@curtisnunez8775]

What up

[@JessicaSmith-ni5bc]

@@muse7057 I worked on this as a choreography assistant and NPH did not choreograph it.

[@petercollebert8468]

@@JessicaSmith-ni5bc seriously, hats off on everything y'all did here... can't even imagine how you get even started on putting something like this together. Simply mindblowing!!!!! Absolutely amazing!!! 💯

[@gezzerreemarie]

I really want to meet NPH in person. He looks like a very awesome person. Wait, he is LEGENDARY.

[@kiers9992]

I KNOW RIGHTT plus i have like a HUGE MASSIVE CRUSH ON HIM

[@leticiachiok8057]

NPH really makes any show shine with his awesome talents!

[@JessicaSmith-ni5bc]

I got the pleasure of working as a choreography assistant on this opening and can confirm he is an incredibly lovely person to be around.

[@JimJealous]

anything neil does is gold

[@mariebelladonna437]

That's so funny, that's EXACTLY what I just said to my hubby, word for word! 😂

[@alieshasalisbury1453]

Watching in 2020. Still my favorite Disney Christmas parade opening. NPH’s choreography is so good! I love this song, and he killed it!

[@katherined]

Nick and Neil should host every Christmas celebration.

[@janiedoe9821]

You Damn Right. They Do.

[@manuelorozco7760]

At least Nick Lachey and Julianne Hough were not that bad today

[@wonderjadden6929]

Yes! They Should!

[@darthraige]

Bring this Disney back.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I haven’t been too happy with them as of recent

[@andrewlong5126]

A kids parade and this man puts so much energy I to it He needs to host the Oscars :)

[@meticulator]

The Fairy Godmother must have heard you. www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/10/15/neil-patrick-harris-will-host-the-oscars-next-year/

[@donovanjenkins1571]

He going to host nickdeon Christmas day parade 2017

[@SophieMunchkin]

I watch this every December without fail

[@mountainmomma124]

NPH was awesome, he embodies everything Disney used to be. Best parade opening ever.

[@ReviewTheMagic]

This was the best intro ever to the parade show! NPH was great!

[@jilliangeppi4704]

After watching this years parade, this is STILL the best parade 😤

[@4everspace]

I love him. NPH is awesome. I envy him because he's never shy, afraid. He can perform in front of millions and it doesn't even faze him. Amazing actor, host, singer. Wow

[@DisneySisters2012]

THAT'S MEEEEE! I'm the blonde in the green tank top and red skirt that walks behind Neil at 1:25! :D

[@koolaidkomoto8188]

Stephanie Rapacz THATS SO COOL

[@inactiveaccount9216]

Omg lucky you! 😩🍀

[@jay-lanhalliburton3593]

What was it like seeing this in person because I have been wanting to go see this live in person for years.

[@moonlight_seeker3337]

Man I miss these kinds of Disney Christmas parades!!! I had and made the best memories watching them back in the day ☺️❤️ In all honesty, just like award shows now a days, the newer Disney Christmas parades feel shorter and not the best. I still watch them, but its not as exciting as they use to be. Same as award shows like; kids choice awards and some other ones. The KCA growing up felt longer and were tons of fun to watch, not so much anymore honestly.

[@manuelorozco7760]

The only award shows I still watch these days are the Oscars and the Tonys. But I completely agree about the Parade shows on Christmas morning. I always watch for the hosts and the music. Nothing else. Also so that I have something to do before having breakfast and opening presents.

[@lindabohn1246]

I watch this over and over each Christmas since it aired! It just captures the spirit of Disney at Christmas. Love it!

[@martianally9401]

It's amazing how they had to make sure that different characters were out during each live shot of the park, to prevent confusion

[@jacquelineschweizer941]

Neil is the best host ever

[@Jimenopolix]

They should play this song at EVERY Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade!

[@manuelorozco7760]

IKR! It's such an awesome song

[@Jess-ko1ph]

Yes they should

[@itisrandom8868]

Disney! Take note of this! This was your best parade. Bring it back.

[@waikma]

This kind of happiness seems to be so far away in 2020

[@jeanne7055]

So true 😂

[@emmyj6806]

I see Newsies and NPH. I click.

[@clchic0729]

This is literal perfection omg

[@pjkitetexan3760]

I love it, I get chills down my spine every time Neil calls out each park. That part is so cool!

[@SeanCwilich]

That's a totally "magical" grand opening number for the Disney Parade! :D

[@Hannahj677]

This will always be my favorite Disneyland Christmas Day Parade opening!

[@SavannaWeber]

disneyWORLD

[@enter1dexter]

Savanna Paige Its not Disneyworld its Walt Disney World

[@alexeidarling]

Man, I miss the days when NPH did a big splashy opening for every awards show and major event. He was EVERYWHERE in the early 2010s!

[@patriciajune5]

When I wish It was still this way :(

[@manuelorozco7760]

Same here. But I don't mind the music mostly taking over. As long as the parade still has a starring role

[@ElinRenacool5]

WOW. Neil is awsome like always

[@sarah_nph]

I do listen to this song though the hole year. It's amazing. Neil did an amazing job.

[@kylemorello4787]

I feel bad that they haven't topped this! This was amazing!

[@Erasureeraser]

Every time Neil touches something, it can't never be topped by other people

[@Rigatony]

This is LEGENDARY

[@joleenreis364]

His kids are gonna think he's sooo cool :)

[@SamuelLee-gw6wr]

Watching this on xmas 2021

[@sippycup1313]

I want to buy this song. It's so catchy!

[@nicolecallander1017]

Martin Ortiz , laa

[@dannysimion]

Gotta give it up to NPH, he’s got a charming stage presence. Definitely a good opening number!

[@eristineforever6934]

I absolutely love this song. I also love how Neil Patrick Harris sings it. He's awesome. I would, honestly, love to see him in some kind of Broadway. He should be. He is just that good

[@ivannacastillo8419]

Its almost christmas of 2021 and this is the best show ever of disney

[@cladinski]

Totally in Love with this video but Neil is so great

[@ashleymckanry2880]

2022 and just rewatched 2013 instead. Wish they’d do another one like this!

[@manuelorozco7760]

2013 was the last year it truly felt you were watching a parade broadcast.

[@leefreeze9804]

[@lissetteaparicio8781]

The best show ever!! Love Neil. He makes it mágical!!!

[@simba123935]

I wonder how his kids reacted to watching this. Neil looks so happy.

[@bonzupippinpaddleoxacoppil484]

“We should get Neil Patrick Harris to host our park opening.” NPH: “DID SOMEONE SAY BIG MUSICAL NUMBER?!?”

[@불도그핫또G]

i've never seen this fantastic and awsome parade!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@AvgMagician]

I went to this. I can tell how much of it was edited but this still gave me goosebumps lol. my sister was in the first 11 seconds next to lara spencer.

[@Ty-xb7dj]

Newsies was my favorite part

[@CliodhnaByrne-s6j]

I am a simple person, I see Newsies in the thumbnail and I click

[@ericpogorzelski904]

i saw neil patrick harris in this parade and he's on of the stars from the smurfs movies

[@Ioven1803]

First, i would totally always go gay for him. Second, he should totally do an album so i can buy it a few thousand times.

[@Hannahj677]

He needs to host the Christmas Parade every year!

[@Kitsubrew]

This is my favorite, ever. Even three weeks after Christmas.

[@Basicallydeado_0]

I'm a simple woman, I see newsies, I c l i c k

[@trevorgreenman7180]

I love this song

[@NetherGate90]

This makes me so happy Y_Y

[@MrErictheNerd]

So much better than that Frozen Christmas Cash-In.

[@Jimenopolix]

+Mr. Eric (MrErictheNerd) I love Frozen, but... yeah, I agree. I didn't even like the Frozen Celebration show from last year.

[@nyyanko]

Someday I'm gonna visit all the Disney parks 🤞

[@matthewor6207]

Best Disney parade!

[@dragon_toad]

A Christmas song that includes the line "shining December sun". FINALLY, a Christmas song for us Aussies celebrating in the middle of Summer, that isn't Six White Boomers

[@matthewpakozdy5323]

That was a great Christmas opening.... DISNEY STYLE!! =0D

[@oliviadeveau4224]

my inner Elder Price would have been screaming.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I did hear Josh Gad did originate the character you are talking about. But I didn't see the Book of Mormon

[@eristineforever6934]

Is it bad that I’m still watching this in 2019?

[@stevemeinecke]

wow i never knew that he can sing that good

[@dani010203stor]

my favorite place and my favorite man together♥

[@GregInCalifornia]

Yes, it's April ... and I am still enjoying this AWESOME video!

[@leefreeze9804]

July :)

[@debbievanderpool3353]

lee freeze ditto! Disney Dreamin' for our trip THIS Christmas :D

[@leefreeze9804]

Debbie Vanderpool 59dtd!!!

[@grahamcrakergirls]

Its July and I'm still enjoying it.

[@Rcity2332]

So, anybody who gets a huge number like this one, and gets to sing, and dance down the parade route. Is tops with me. this performance is up there with Peter Allen, when he did the last number for Disneyland's 30th. Disney parades are the best! Can you imagine the energy the dancer's get, when they go down the route? #truth I wish upon a star, that one day I can do the same...

[@gracemartin72]

God I Wish that Neil Patrick Harris would stay young Forever Like all the Other Child Stars Like Macaulay Culkin, Christina Ricci, etc, etc.

[@karlakeaton7099]

Great job by NPH!

[@rhonalochhead8767]

This was legend wait for it and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is dary!! LEGENDARY

[@eliazelmaeombrosa3681]

I wish i could go there soon🙏

[@BrandyHein]

This opening was Legen-wait for it-dary. Legendary

[@animaljamvideos4525]

My favorite song by Disney.

[@GreaserMan]

Ahhhhh, it's so happy! :D

[@SuperSorrell]

[@moonlambo5229]

Back when Disney was awesome. So sad how far they have fallen.

[@anasaavedra5600]

It was pure wait for it magical

[@timsamanthony]

This is how you open a show!

[@manuelorozco7760]

No doubt

[@daphnethecat4052]

Merry Christmas

[@justinetouzin-mailhot7067]

Forget about « Last Christmas » and « Let it snow » this is THE best Christmas song

[@deoboliquerogers6874]

i love it

[@Callmekatielee]

Is it bad that I'm still watching this in 2016?

[@manuelorozco7760]

No need to worry. I mainly came here for the cast of Newsies

[@Callmekatielee]

Manuel Orozco Ah, another Broadway fan. I absolutely adore Newsies!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Katie'sBookCorner I actually haven't seen Newsies but I'm excited for the filmed live performance coming to movie theatres this February starring Jeremy Jordan as Jack Kelly. But I am a Broadway fan

[@Callmekatielee]

Manuel Orozco I'm so excited for it as well! Recordings and even film adaptations are always nice for those of us who can't make it to Broadway. I've yet to see a Broadway show live, but I'm getting to see my favorite show (Wicked) next spring as my first, and I am downright ecstatic.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Katie'sBookCorner I saw Wicked at the Pantages in Hollywood almost ten years ago

[@jasontachin]

RW:at 3:07 GENIE!😆😯😮☺😊😀😁😂😃😄😆😇😉😍😛😜😝😋😗😙😘😚😎😭😌😏

[@gracewood9332]

I see Newsies I watch

[@chrissystewart6268]

In the future I would love to be the host of the Disney Parks Christmas day Parade . Merry Christmas to all the Disney Fans God Bless you all Don't let Covid ruin your Disney Christmas🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@jordanttbyrd]

They should do this song again this year

[@lucantu6074]

Since I was 5 years old I sang this song like there wasn’t tomorrow
