    This is yuour Christmas Talk: Your Weekly Entertainment Guide podcast.

    Welcome to Christmas Talk: Your Weekly Entertainment Guide. I'm your host, and I'm excited to share with you all the festive fun happening this holiday season. From magical Disney events to spectacular Broadway shows, we've got you covered.

    Imagine strolling down Main Street USA at Disney World, surrounded by twinkling lights and the sound of carolers filling the air. That's what you can experience at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, a specially ticketed event that takes place on select evenings in November and December. With exclusive holiday entertainment, complimentary treats, and special character meet and greets, it's a night to remember. And if you can't make it to the party, don't worry - select entertainment will be available after the final party, including the Once Upon A Christmastime Parade and Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks.

    But Disney isn't the only place to get into the holiday spirit. New York City is bustling with festive shows, including the iconic Radio City Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes. This breathtaking show is a true New York City institution, with gorgeously costumed and choreographed vignettes that will leave you in awe. And if you're looking for something a bit more low-key, Elf The Musical is a delightful adaptation of the beloved film, starring Sean Astin as Santa and Grey Hanson as Buddy the Elf.

    Now, we want to hear from you. What's your favorite holiday tradition? Do you have a special show or event that you attend every year? Share with us on social media using the hashtag ChristmasTalk, and we might feature your response in our next episode.
