Carly Pearce helped kick off the Christmas season with a performance of “Let It Snow” at Disney World.
Christmas season is officially underway, and television networks are lining up an impressive holiday content schedule. One of the first specials to air was the annual Wonderful World of Disney Holiday Spectacular on Sunday, December 1.
The annual Disney program was filmed in mid-November and featured performances from artists of all genres of music, including Elton John, John Legend, Pentatonix, and many more. Country music’s lone representative was Carly Pearce who performed “Let It Snow” at Disney World’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
It wasn’t the first time Carly sang the classic tune for a holiday special. In 2022 she teamed up with bluegrass great Molly Tuttle for a toe-tapping medley of Christmas hits, including “Let It Snow,” for the CMA Country Christmas Special.

Pearce’s Disney performance comes on the heels of the release of her new Christmas duet with “The King of Christmas” himself, Michael Buble.
Their duet, titled “Maybe This Christmas,” was released on November 18. The song was co-written by Buble who called it “the most meaningful song he’s written since his 2005 classic, ‘Home.'”
