“For the First Time in Forever” Frozen’s Elsa and Anna — a.k.a. Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell — will reunite for their first-ever television performance together.

During Disney Parks and ABC’s The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration, the pair will sing “When We’re Together” from the new Disney featurette Olaf’s Frozen Adventure along with a 30-piece choir on the steps of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at Disneyland Resort in California.

“This performance will combine two of my very favorite things: the holidays and singing alongside my Frozen sister, Idina Menzel,” Bell said in a statement. “I’m excited to sing a song with Idina that I feel has the potential to become a new holiday classic.”

Menzel shared a similar sentiment about the upcoming performance. “Anytime I get to reunite with Kristen, whether it’s in the studio or on the stage, is very special for me. I think I can speak for her when I say we are both so proud of this story we get to tell and these sisters we get to portray,” she said.

The star-studded show hosted by Julianne Hough and Nick Lachey from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will also include performances by New Kids on the Block’s Joey McIntyre, who will duet “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” with Lea Michele.
