A Christmas Fantasy Parade Lyrics
The soundtrack for each float begins and ends with the original “A Christmas Fantasy” song.
The major difference between the float’s soundtracks are the connecting bridges in the middle which utilize original lyrics that relate directly to the theme of the float. Each verse is also followed by a medley of known Christmas songs that also relate to the float theme (Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, etc.)
Although the same song book ends each float unit, the recordings for each are all slightly modified to better fit the respective float’s theme. For instance, jingle bells can be heard in the background of one float unit while a flute or the sounds of a toy factory can be heard on another.

There’s a special magic
