Disneyland is a great place to be around the holidays, and the employees especially go all out at The Haunted Mansion.  Starting around Halloween and lasting through Christmas, the entire ride is completely changed to feature characters and music from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.  This is an original song from the ride written by John Debney (who has done many other projects with Disney as well).

The Enchanted Christmas was a unique project for Disney because it wasn't truly a prequel or a sequel- more of a 'midquel' that takes place within the original Beauty and the Beast film during Christmas-time.  Many members of the original cast reprised their roles for the movie- including Paige O'Hara as Belle.  Alan Menken did not return to compose the music for The Enchanted Christmas, but composer Rachel Portman and lyricist Don Black did an excellent job in his place (as evidenced by this song sung by Belle in the film).

As we gear up for the holiday season, here is a song for the character Belle that was cut from the theatrical release of The Muppet Christmas Carol (much to the dismay of director Brian Henson).  Since then, the song has appeared in SOME home releases of the film (though not all of them).  You can view the scene online here.
