"The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular" airs live on ABC from 8 p.m. ET on December 1. But which Cyber Monday streaming deals let you watch for free? And can you watch from outside the U.S. without cable?
First up, you'll find ABC on DirecTV – get your five days totally free. (cancel anytime). Stay on, and you'll get just about all the TV you need for $49.99 a month plus 4 months Spotify free.
Considering YouTube TV? It a brilliant live TV streaming service but it recently lost ABC and ESPN. A deal has now been done to rectify this, but if you want to be absolutely sure of access to ABC right now, we'd suggest picking DirecTV or Fubo to watch the 2025 "Disney Holiday Spectacular".
Watch on Monday, December 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and stream next day on Disney+, Hulu, and Disney YouTube.
Watch ABC from abroad with a VPN
U.S. streaming services – even free trials – are geo-blocked when traveling outside America. If you're American but in another country, you can switch it all back on, including free trials, by downloading a VPN and setting your location back to the USA.
You'll be able to enjoy the likes of DirecTV, Fubo and Hulu from anywhere! It's really simple and we've tested that it works with NordVPN – our top VPN which comes with an exclusive 78% off Cyber Monday VPN deal...
It's really easy to use a VPN to stream Macy's Day Parade from abroad.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you want to watch Peacock, choose 'USA' from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock, sign in, and stream the Macy's Day Parade.
