WATCH: It’s a Hakuna Matata Holiday on Disney Channel’s ‘The Lion Guard’

Disney Channel’s The Lion Guard—the popular series spinoff of The Lion King—will air a special Yuletide episode, “Timon and Pumbaa’s Christmas,” that finds the animals of the Pride Lands planning a celebration to surprise Timon, the meerkat, and Pumbaa, the warthog.
