The 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth is set to return with one of the most cherished holiday traditions at Walt Disney World—the Candlelight Processional. For many guests, the season simply isn’t complete without this breathtaking celebration that combines music, storytelling, and the warmth of community.
A Beloved Holiday Tradition
Taking place at the America Gardens Theatre, the Candlelight Processional brings the story of Christmas to life in a way that only Disney can. Guests will be treated to a mass choir of cast members and community singers, the talented Voices of Liberty, and a full 50-piece orchestra. Adding to the magic, a rotating lineup of celebrity narrators will share the Christmas story with moving performances that capture the true spirit of the holidays.
The 2025 narrator list includes celebrated film and television stars, award-winning performers, and inspiring personalities. Each brings their unique voice and passion to this timeless tradition, ensuring that every performance is memorable.
Showtimes are scheduled nightly at 5:00 p.m., 6:45 p.m., and 8:15 p.m. EST, giving guests multiple opportunities to experience this spectacular event.
Candlelight Processional Dining Packages
For guests looking to make their evening even more special, the Candlelight Processional Dining Package is a wonderful option. This package combines a festive meal with guaranteed seating for one of the performances, ensuring a stress-free and memorable night at EPCOT.
