Is ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ On Tonight? ABC’s Thanksgiving Schedule Revealed

Thanksgiving can go either way with new TV shows. Some shows will air in their usual time slots while others decide to take a holiday break. This year, “Grey’s Anatomy” opted for the latter.

Last week was the fall finale for “Grey’s Anatomy” Season 16, and it won’t be back until 2020. Instead, ABC will air some family-friendly content on Thanksgiving.

“The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration” airs on Thursday at 8 p.m. EST and will show off a spectacular holiday-themed celebration from Disney World and Disneyland.

“Glee” alum (and “Grey’s Anatomy” guest star) Matthew Morrison hosts alongside Spice Girl Emma Bunton and TV host Jesse Palmer. Viewers will get several Disney Parks sneak peeks, including a behind-the-scenes look into the new “Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance” attraction. There will also be plenty of musical guests.

“The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration” will be two hours long to fit in all the talent performing at Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Resort in California.

Sting and Shaggy will team up to sing a new rendition of “Silent Night (Christmas is Coming)” while Andy Grammy and Ingrid Michaelson will share an original holiday duet.

Portugal. The Man will give audiences “Happy Christmas” and “Merry Christmas Everybody.” Pentatonix will adapt the classics “Deck the Halls” and “Here Comes Santa Claus.” Fresh off “Dancing With the Stars,” Ally Brooke will sing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and violinist Lindsey Stirling will play “Carol of the Bells.”

Of course, the talented hosts won’t be sidelined. Morrison will entertain audiences with “When You Wish Upon A Star” from his upcoming album “Disney Dreamin’ with Matthew Morrison” and “Let it Snow.” Bunton, better known as Baby Spice, will sing “Santa Baby.”

When the two-hour event ends at 10 p.m., ABC will keep it family-friendly with a couple of sitcom reruns. “The Goldbergs” Season 7, episode 8, titled “Angst-Giving,” will air first, followed by “Modern Family” Season 11, episode 3, titled “Perfect Pairs.”

“Grey’s Anatomy” will return to ABC with new episodes on Jan. 23.
