From Disney Stardom to Worldwide Fame
Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas first stole the hearts of millions as Disney Channel icons. From their breakout roles in Camp Rock (2008) and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010) to their beloved sitcom Jonas, the trio became synonymous with Disney magic in the late 2000s.
Alongside their on-screen roles, their music skyrocketed to fame with hits like “S.O.S.” and “Burnin’ Up.”
While the group disbanded in 2013 to pursue individual projects, their 2019 reunion reignited the Jonas Brothers phenomenon, leading to sold-out tours, hit albums, and even a documentary chronicling their journey.
Now, they’re bringing it full circle with a holiday-themed collaboration with Disney.
