“Had such a blast putting this together,” Hudgens wrote in the Instagram post.

She didn’t sing any songs in the video but jokingly used her hands as a clapper for different takes of making the video. The actress described the upcoming reunion as “special,” because it is happening at a time when the world needs to “spread some joy.”
