As we enter the festive holiday season, an official Disney UK Advert was released that has us getting teary-eyed and ready to spend time with our families this Christmas.
What’s Happening:
- A heartwarming new Disney Christmas advert has debuted across the ocean in the UK, just in time for the beginning of the holiday season.
- While times change and people grow, beloved family traditions make lifelong memories that cross generations and hold us together, especially over the festive period.
- The holidays are the perfect time for giving and of course, giving back. This holiday season, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products has debuted this three-minute animated short entitled From Our Family to Yours.
- Lola and her granddaughter share a love of Disney and Christmas crafting, but over time their yearly ritual of making star lanterns begins to fade away. Looking back into Lola’s past and seeing her grandmother’s much-loved Mickey Mouse inspires her granddaughter to create a festive surprise that lights up her Christmas morning and renews their special bond.
