🎄✨ Written by Jennifer Young, Your Disney Vacation Fairy Godmother!

The most wonderful time of the year is even more magical at EPCOT! From November 24 through December 30, 2024, EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays transforms the park into a dazzling celebration of global holiday traditions. As a Disney travel agent (and passionate Disney fan!), I’m here to share the highlights of this year’s festival and help you make the most of your visit.




What is the Festival of the Holidays?



EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is a seasonal extravaganza showcasing how cultures worldwide celebrate the holidays. With festive food, heartwarming performances, and holiday decor that glitters day and night, it’s a must-see event for Disney guests during the holiday season.




Festival Highlights for 2024

1. Holiday Kitchens

No Disney festival is complete without incredible food! During the Festival of the Holidays, you can taste holiday specialties from around the world at over 15 Holiday Kitchens. From peppermint desserts to savory holiday classics, there's something for every palate.

Here are just a few dishes I can’t wait to try in 2024:

Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow

Pair an EPCOT-inspired gingerbread cookie with hot cocoa or a seasonal shake.

2. Candlelight Processional                

The Candlelight Processional is the heart of the Festival of the Holidays. This beloved tradition features a celebrity narrator sharing the Christmas story, accompanied by a live orchestra and choir.

✨ Celebrity narrators for 2024 include:

Josh Gad

November 29 and 30
  • Nico Santos – New!

    December 1 and 2

  • Chrissy Metz

    December 3 to 5

  • Whoopi Goldberg

    December 6 and 7

    Tituss Burgess – New!

    December 8 to 10

  • Brendan Fraser

    December 11 and 12

  • Ralph Macchio – New!

    December 13 and 14

  • Gary Sinise

    December 15 and 16

  • Neil Patrick Harris

This experience is free with park admission, but seats fill quickly. I highly recommend booking a Candlelight Processional Dining Package to secure reserved seating.




3. Holiday Storytellers                              

Travel the World Showcase and meet cultural ambassadors sharing their unique holiday traditions! From Father Christmas in the United Kingdom to La Befana in Italy, these storytellers bring holiday magic to life.

This year, EPCOT is introducing a 'Festival Passport Scavenger Hunt' where kids (and kids at heart!) can collect stamps at each storytelling station for a special holiday keepsake.




4. Spaceship Earth Light Show



At night, Spaceship Earth dazzles with a special holiday-themed light show. For 2024, expect a brand-new projection sequence set to classic carols and twinkling winter colors. It’s the perfect way to cap off a magical day at EPCOT!




Tips for Making the Most of Your Visit

  • Book Early: The Festival of the Holidays is popular, so make dining and Genie+ reservations as early as possible.
  • Arrive Early: Get to the park when it opens to enjoy shorter lines for rides before diving into festival fun.
  • Layer Up: Florida weather can be unpredictable in December. Pack a light jacket for cooler evenings.
  • Use My Services! I’ll help you create a custom itinerary to make the most of the festival’s offerings.
