Lonely Banquet (Be Our Guest)

Disney Music Showcase / Be Our Guest | Disney+

This lavish number, in which the castle servants welcome Belle in “Beauty and the Beast,” was composed as a Broadway-style show tune.

Created by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman for the feature film released in October 1991, it is included on the soundtrack album “Beauty and the Beast: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.” The scene, with its sumptuous feast and lively performances, is like a Christmas banquet.

The rich orchestral sound and vibrant choral parts are sure to elevate any holiday-season party.

The Twelve Days of Christmas

It’s “The Twelve Days of Christmas” performed by the Disney Princesses.

You can picture the heroines gathering and singing together.

It seems like something little children would enjoy, too.

The original song is said to have been created in 1909 by Frederic Austin, who adapted it from a folk tune.

It tells of the gifts received each day over the twelve days from Christmas to Epiphany.

Frozen: “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” – Full Song Video (Original)

Frozen was released and became a massive hit, running not only through winter but even into summer.

And of course, when talking about this film, this one song is absolutely indispensable.

It sparked such a craze that there wasn’t a single day you didn’t hear it on Japanese TV or radio.

The singable lyrics are especially memorable.

It’s a perfect song that brings back the beautiful visuals and the characters even now, making you want to watch the movie again.

Bright Future

Tangled – I See The Light lyrics (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

An insert song from Disney’s 50th feature-length animated film and its first 3D work, Tangled.

Although it’s not directly related to Christmas, its theme of light fits well with the holiday’s imagery and is often used for Christmas events.

This is the song that plays during the romantic scene where countless lights float through the sky.

A Christmas Carol Main Title

01. A Christmas Carol Main Title – Alan Silvestri (Album: A Christmas Carol Soundtrack)

This is the main theme that plays during the opening of the landmark Disney Christmas film, “Disney’s A Christmas Carol.” It begins with a resounding drum, followed by the entrance of brass and bells, making it a truly grand Christmas song.

In its roughly four-minute runtime, it features a wide range of developments reminiscent of classical music and is sprinkled with homages to traditional Christmas songs.

Colors of Christmas

Audio of 'Colors Of Christmas'

The song from the show “Colors of Christmas,” which was held at Tokyo DisneySea starting in 2012.

It’s a nighttime show staged on the waters of Mediterranean Harbor, right in front as you enter DisneySea, featuring a dazzling Christmas tree and boats carrying Mickey and friends.

The story unfolds as everyone gathers, unites their hearts, and makes a wish—then the Christmas tree shines and brings happiness.

Within a single show, the music expresses a variety of scenes, from bright, festive parts that evoke the spirit of Christmas to moving, emotional moments, making it perfect as BGM for a Christmas party!

Christmas Stories 2018

[TDL] [CD Audio] Christmas Stories 2018

With a title like “Disney Christmas Stories,” this song overflows with excitement the moment you see it.

It’s a medley that begins with narration and weaves together several pieces, but above all, it’s wonderful how those heroes are buzzing with anticipation for Christmas, cheerfully singing and chatting away.

I can’t stop feeling thrilled, too.
