American Idol champ Maddie Poppe is performing in the Disney Christmas Day Parade that airs today (10 a.m. to noon on ABC).

Kellie Pickler starred in a new Hallmark holiday movie called “Christmas at Graceland.”

And David Archuleta released his second Christmas album last month.

They’re among the former American Idol contestants doing their best to put everyone in the Christmas spirit this year.
