It is pretty much impossible to summarize this one here better than the title does: "Disney Sing-Along-Songs: Very Merry Christmas Songs" will bring you your favorite Disney character for the season of joy and while seeing them you will hear all kinds of Christmas songs, some of them sung by kids choirs, others by individual singers. I must say I knew quite a few of these songs, but others were also kinda new to me like the Santa Lane song near the end. I am European though, so maybe Americans will know all the songs in here. Most of the film is animated, but at times, especially near the end, you will see scenes from Disneyland with Donald and Mickey in costume and not animated. The entire thing runs for slightly under half an hour only, but it includes a whole lot for that runtime. You really are getting something for your money with this one. I think if you love not only Christmas songs (like I do), but also karaoke, then you will have a really great time with this one as you see the lyrics on the bottom of the screen and it is all about singing along here. It can be a great Christmas activity with the holidays slowly moving closer I think, maybe even for classes at school. Many of the songs include religious references, which may not be for everybody, but for me it wasn't a problem at all. And if I can enjoy this as an atheist, then so should everybody else. It was great fun and looking at the number of votes here on IMDb, this is very much underseen. Kids and adults both can enjoy. Major thumbs-up. Don't miss out on it for the 2017 festive season or just the next festive season depending on when you read this review. Highly recommended.
