From new entries in beloved franchises to unexpected collaborations, the announcements were bound to leave fans buzzing. But there’s even more in store as Disney continues to surprise us with what they have planned for the future.
Let’s dive into the two major movie announcements that have taken the Disney community by storm.
A Very Jonas Christmas Movie
On November 14, Disney will be debuting a Christmas movie unlike any other on Disney+. A Very Jonas Christmas Movie stars the Jonas Brothers — Kevin, Nick, and Joe — as themselves in a comedic holiday adventure. The premise is simple but hilarious: the trio sets out to get from London to New York in time for Christmas, but their well-laid plans quickly go awry.

They decide to handle the journey on their own, refusing help from their logistical team, believing they can manage the trip without assistance. Of course, things don’t go as smoothly as planned, and what was supposed to be a quick and easy trip turns into an unforgettable and chaotic adventure.
With a star-studded supporting cast, including Randall Park as Brad, Billie Lourd as Cassidy, Laverne Cox as Stacy, KJ Apa as Gene, and Andrea Martin as Deb, the movie promises plenty of laughs, heartwarming moments, and holiday cheer. There’s also a surprise cameo from Nick Jonas’s wife, Priyanka Chopra, who is set to join in on the fun.
And if that wasn’t enough, Jessie Tyler Ferguson (best known for his role in Modern Family) will be portraying none other than Santa Claus himself.
