Disney is reeling from some staggering financial losses during this pandemic…but that isn’t stopping them from bringing some cheer to families on Mother’s Day.
The Disney Family Singalong is a simple, yet incredibly fun, idea. Round up some celebrities — along with their families — to perform classic Disney tunes in their homes, while encouraging viewers to give their own vocal cords a workout.
With the first event being such a huge success, Disney announced that volume 2 will air on Mother’s Day
The event will once again be hosted by Ryan Seacrest, who posted about it on his Instagram page.
