The holiday season is officially coming back to EPCOT.
Disney has announced that the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth will return to Walt Disney World beginning November 27, 2026, bringing festive traditions, seasonal food, holiday entertainment, and celebrations from around the globe back to EPCOT.
The popular festival will run from November 27 through December 30, 2026, transforming World Showcase and beyond into a celebration of holiday traditions from countries around the world.
One of the festival’s biggest draws is the return of Holiday Storytellers, who share festive customs, folklore, and seasonal traditions unique to their respective countries. Guests can also enjoy holiday-themed food and beverages from the festival’s Holiday Kitchens, offering seasonal flavors inspired by celebrations around the globe.
The festival is also expected to feature the beloved Candlelight Processional, one of Walt Disney World’s most cherished holiday traditions. The nightly performance combines a live orchestra, mass choir, and celebrity narrator to retell the Christmas story at the America Gardens Theatre.
Throughout the park, guests can enjoy festive décor, seasonal entertainment, holiday merchandise, and special offerings that make EPCOT one of the most popular destinations at Walt Disney World during the holiday season.
Additional details, including Holiday Kitchen menus, Candlelight Processional narrators, merchandise, and entertainment offerings, are expected to be announced closer to the start of the festival.
