The holiday special was released on December 11 on the streaming service Disney+, and it is heartfelt and pleasant. It is worth more than just a passing glance on Disney+. All of the cast members of High School Musical: The Series are able to put fans and viewers in the holiday spirit. They also explain the significance of the holiday season, and what the holidays mean to each of them individually.
Cornett delights on his cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” which features a cameo from his red Camaro. He joins forces with Joshua Bassett on an upbeat, fun, and refreshing version of “Little Saint Nick,” filmed at a pool, where they are sporting shorts and Santa hats. They are both poised to become big stars in the entertainment industry in the future.
Bassett also charms on “The Perfect Gift,” where he showcases his velvet, mellow vocals, and the listener can recall Jason Mraz.
In addition, Cornett and the entire cast charm on the uplifting “Something in the Air.” Bassett and Cornett join Dara Reneé for a killer finale, where she nails Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” with their powerhouse vocals.
