Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997)

A Christmas sequel to Beauty and the Beast was certainly an interesting route for Disney to take, but it works. The sequel, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, not only gives backstory to what Prince Adam (Robby Benson) was like before his curse — takes place during Belle's (Paige O'Hara) imprisonment — but it also features an entirely new villain in the form of a magical organ named Forte (Tim Curry).

Much like the previous entries on this list, most of the main cast returns to reprise their roles from the first movie, including Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts, Jerry Orbach as Lumière, David Ogden Stiers as Cogsworth, Paige O'Hara as Belle, and Robby Benson as the Beast/Prince Adam. There are also a few big-name additions, including Broadway star Bernadette Peters as Angelique, Paul Reubens as Forte's henchman Fife, and Curry as Forte. You can also expect beautiful musical numbers, including "As Long as There's Christmas."

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is currently available to watch on Disney+.
