American Idol champ David Cook gets into the holiday spirit with a reindeer-inspired Pluto last week in the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The 25-year old singer recorded a segment for the ‘Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade’ and put his rocker spin on a holiday classic ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’. He also sang that song when he performed at the 2008 Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Rockefeller Center. After he was done, he took questions from the audience and even played peek-a-boo with some kids who were in the first row. The Disney Christmas Day Parade will air nationwide at 10AM to 12NN ET on Christmas Day, December 25 on ABC.

Taylor Swift appeared and performed on last Friday’s episode of ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’. The almost 19-year old country singing superstar sang her hit song ‘White Horse’ and told a great story about being raised on a Christmas Tree farm. Taylor said “Yes! I did [grow up on a Christmas Tree farm], so this is a good season for me. I was too young to help with the hauling of the trees up the hills and putting them onto cars. So, it was my job to pull off the preying mantis pods off of the Christmas trees. The problem with that is if you leave them on there, people bring them into their house. I forgot to check one time and they hatched all over these people’s house. And there were hundreds of thousands of them. And they had little kids, and they couldn’t kill of them because that’d be a bad Christmas.”
