If you’re anything like me, the second July 4th is over, you’re already secretly humming “Jingle Bells” and eyeing the seasonal snack aisles. Good news: Walt Disney World just unwrapped the first details of their Holiday 2025 celebrations, and it’s shaping up to be the most dazzling (and delicious) season yet!

From November 14 through December 31, 2025, all four theme parks, Disney Springs, and the resort hotels will be decked out in holiday finery, with plenty of new experiences and returning favorites for the whole family — chosen or otherwise.

🎁 Magic Kingdom: Classic Cheer Meets Frozen Flair

Main Street, U.S.A. transforms into a glittering postcard, with holiday trimmings that practically beg for a selfie. The Jingle Cruise is back with its hilariously festive twist on the classic attraction, and you won’t want to miss the “Frozen Holiday Surprise”, where Olaf and a flurry of snowgies help Cinderella Castle shine a little brighter with garlands, ornaments, and icy whimsy.

🌟 Hollywood Studios: Christmas Comes to Tinseltown

Over at Hollywood Studios, Sunset Seasons Greetings returns, turning the Hollywood Tower Hotel into a wild series of gingerbread, Arendelle snow, and even a Dickensian dreamscape. Minnie’s Holiday Dine is back, too — reservations highly recommended — where Minnie throws a seasonal soiree full of festive flavors and character glamour. Don’t skip the Frozen Sing-Along at Hyperion Theater either; it’s like karaoke, but you won’t be judged.

🐾 Animal Kingdom: Natural Wonder Wrapped in Twinkle Lights

Merry Menagerie brings life-sized, artisan-crafted winter animal puppets to Discovery Island — a can’t-miss for lovers of art and whimsy. After dark, the Tree of Life Awakenings Holiday Edition will light up your night with dazzling projection magic. Bonus: artist Rob Kaz will be signing holiday art pieces at Island Mercantile from November 1–20.

🎄 Disney Springs: Sip, Shop, and Stroll

The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll, presented by AdventHealth, returns with trees themed to Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars — and your MagicBand+ might just interact with a few! Be sure to make a merry pitstop at Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar for seasonal sips and bites in the quirkiest setting around.

🏨 Disney Resorts: Stay Merry

Holiday magic extends to the resort hotels with gorgeous decor, themed treats, and of course… Santa himself, making the rounds at all four parks and at Disney Springs through December 24. (Catch him before he sleighs away back to the North Pole!)

🌍 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays (Nov 28–Dec 30)

One of the highlights of the season, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, returns with global flavors, festive storytellers, and beloved entertainment like “JOYFUL!” and the fan-favorite Candlelight Processional featuring celebrity narrators and a full orchestra. (Casting TBA, but fingers crossed for Neil Patrick Harris, as always.)

Sweet tooth? You’ll love the Holiday Cookie Stroll, and if you’re feeling playful, join Olaf’s Holiday Scavenger Hunt — map sold separately, sugar rush included.

Don’t miss Living with the Land – Glimmering Greenhouses, where the iconic boat ride gets a glow-up with twinkling lights and holiday flair.

Starting July 10, you can save up to 20% on select Disney Resort hotels and score a $100 Disney Dining & Shopping gift card when you add 4-day park tickets. Travel window runs from October 12 to Christmas Day, so you’ve got options.
