EPCOT’s beloved International Festival of the Holidays is returning November 29 through December 30, 2025, and Disney has just unwrapped all the festive details! This year’s celebration promises to bring joy to guests of all ages.
While we’re a little bummed not to see one of our all-time favorites, Neil Patrick Harris, on the narrator list this year, we’re still excited for the incredible lineup of voices bringing this cherished tradition to life.
If your holiday season isn’t complete without a mass choir of cast members and community singers, the incredible Voices of Liberty, a 50-piece orchestra, and the story of Christmas told by a celebrity narrator, then it’s time to unwrap some exciting news: the 2025 Candlelight Processional lineup is here!
From film and television icons to award-winning performers, they’ll each bring something magical to the stage at America Gardens Theatre.
