The "Glee" and "Scream Queens" alum, currently co-starring in the Tuesday ABC com- edy "The Mayor," visited Southern California's legendary Disneyland recently to tape musical segments for a couple of that network's holi- day-season specials. The first aired in primetime last month, and the second — "Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration" — will fill ABC's traditional Disney-special slot on Christmas morning, Mon- day, Dec. 25. "We did a bunch of 'Glee' Christmas episodes as well as a 'Glee' Christ- mas album," the lively Michele reflects, "so when they asked, 'What songs would you like to sing?,' I just had a whole reper- toire of Christmas songs that I've performed in the past. It was easy for me to pick my favorites." (For the Christmas Day show, Michele's choice is "Let It Snow.") Featuring the Very Mer- ry Christmas Parade that long has been a Disney Parks and ABC holiday staple, the "Celebration" also includes performanc- es by Jason Derulo, Ciara, Darius Rucker, Fifth Har- mony, 98 Degrees, Fitz and the Tantrums, and "Aladdin" stage stars Telly Leung and Arielle Jacobs. Two people with "Dancing With the Stars" ties, danc- er-turned-judge Julianne Hough and recent con- testant (and 98 Degrees member) Nick Lachey, are the hosts; Jesse Palmer ("Daily Mail TV") serves as co-host. "It was just the most beautiful backdrop," Mi- chele notes, "right in front of the Magic Castle. That was sort of my fantasy as an eight-year-old girl. If I could go back in time and tell myself as a child that one day, I would be sing- ing in front of that castle dressed up like a princess ... well, it was definitely one of those 'pinch me' moments." ABC airs a "Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration" Monday. Lea Michele celebrates Christmas at Disneyland
