Jonas Brothers Returning to Disney for New Holiday Movie
Too early for Christmas? The Jonas Brothers said it’s never too early.
The band, consisting of brothers Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas, revealed on Tuesday that they’re returning to Disney with a new holiday movie, with the working title Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie.
The holiday comedy, which will see the three brothers face a series of escalating obstacles as they struggle to make it from London to New York in time to spend Christmas with their families, is slated to premiere later this year on Disney+.
In a promo video, Nick, Joe and Kevin hold up cards on a holiday-decorated front porch as snow falls behind them. “Hi! We’re the Jonas Br…,” Joe initially says as Nick cuts him off, “No, don’t say it! The whole point is you don’t say it, you just let them read it.”

The trio proceeds to flip through the cards that read, “Sorry to bother you … but we’re making a Christmas movie … coming out this holiday season …. only on Disney+.”
Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger serve as the film’s writers and producers, in addition to the Jonas Brothers producing, alongside Adam Fishbach, Spencer Berman and Scott Morgan. Jessica Yu is directing the project.
After signing with Disney’s Hollywood Records in 2007 (they were previously dropped from Columbia Records after releasing their debut album It’s About Time the year prior), they made their TV debut on Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana with Miley Cyrus that same year.
They made their film debut in the 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock, which also starred Demi Lovato. The following year, the brothers launched their own show on Disney Channel, titled Jonas, before reprising their roles in 2010’s Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
The Jonas Brothers also released three albums under Hollywood Records, including their self-titled sophomore album (which featured hits “Year 3000″ an d”S.O.S.”), A Little Bit Longer and Lines, Vines and Trying Times.
