Cast members, musicians, singers and narrators will be required to be fully vaccinated, Disney said, so this year the event will not host choirs from different community groups and schools

“Instead, to maintain the grandeur of the performance, we are expanding our cast member choir to fill the stage with voices,” Disney said in a blog post. “We’re optimistic that the guest choirs will be able to rejoin us next year for this special holiday opportunity.”
