‘Tis the season, Jonas Brothers fans! With the release of A Very Jonas Christmas Movie and its soundtrack on Nov. 14, it’s time to get cozy and enjoy this comedic, lighthearted Christmas movie with your favorite band of brothers — and a very long list of celebrity cameos. Prepare to rewatch, sing-a-long, and keep the soundtrack on shuffle this holiday season with A Very Jonas Christmas Movie. Spoiler alert: Spoilers for A Very Jonas Christmas Movie follow.
In the new Disney+ holiday movie, Kevin, Nick, and Joe Jonas play exaggerated versions of themselves trying to get home for Christmas after playing their final stop on the fictional Unbreakable Bond Tour in London. Chaos ensues after a spell is cast on them: their plane to New York is struck by a lightning bolt, their train is Amsterdam-bound instead of Paris-bound, the brothers get into a plane crash, and survive an almost-attack from a wolf. Not only is this movie filled with comedic moments and references to the Jonas Brothers’s real lives, but the cast is stacked with celeb appearances and cameos, with multiple famous people portraying a movie character or just themselves.
If you can’t keep up with who makes an appearance, don’t worry, I’ve caught them all. Here are all the celeb cameos in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie.
