Celebrate the Season

Celebrate the Season was a live stage show that took place at the Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort and served as part of the seasonal entertainment offerings during the holiday season.
==Background==
The show featured Mickey Mouse and his friends celebrating Christmas with songs, dances, and surprises. It debuted in 1998 as part of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, a special ticketed event that occured on select nights in November and December. The show underwent several changes over the years, such as adding new characters, songs, and scenes. It typically ran four times per night during the party and was included with the party admission.
After the last party of each year, the show played during regular park hours through to the end of December and was available to all park guests. It was usually performed twice per day, before and after the Festival of Fantasy Parade. The show was subject to change or cancellation due to inclement weather or other factors. It had a running time of about 18 minutes and featured a cast of over 20 performers, including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale, Scrooge McDuck, Daisy, Clarabelle Cow, and Santa Claus.
==Segments==
The show also featured a group of dancers dressed as toy soldiers, elves, and gingerbread men. The show consisted of several musical segments, such as:
*The show began with Mickey and his friends singing "Celebrate the Season" and welcoming the guests to the celebration.
*Mickey and Minnie performed a romantic duet of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", while Donald and Daisy danced along.
*Goofy arrived with a large present for Mickey, which turns out to be a giant jack-in-the-box that popped out Chip and Dale. The chipmunks caused some mischief and joined Goofy in singing "Jingle Bells".
*Scrooge McDuck made an appearance and sang "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with the help of the toy soldiers and the elves. He counted down the gifts he had received from his true love, such as five golden rings, four calling birds, and a partridge in a pear tree.
*Clarabelle Cow arrived with a cart full of cookies and invited everyone to join her in singing "All I Want for Christmas is You". She flirted with Goofy and tried to get him to kiss her under the mistletoe, but he was too shy and clumsy.
*Pluto brought a letter from Santa Claus, who announced that he was on his way to join the celebration. The cast sang "Here Comes Santa Claus" and prepares for his arrival.
*Santa Claus arrived on his sleigh, pulled by eight reindeer. He greeted the guests and the cast and joined them in singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". He then invited everyone to make a wish and believe in the magic of the season.
*The show ended with a finale of "Celebrate the Season" and a burst of fireworks over the castle.
