Disney's Candlelight Processional Brings Holiday Cheer to EPCOT with New Narrators and Dining Packages

The Candlelight Processional returns to EPCOT for its 55th year at Walt Disney World and 32nd year at EPCOT, part of the International Festival of the Holidays from November 27 through December 30, 2026.

This beloved holiday tradition tells the Christmas story with a celebrity narrator joined by a 51-piece orchestra, Voices of Liberty, and a choir featuring over 150 Disney Cast Members and community singers. Performances take place at America Gardens Theatre three times each evening: 4:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m.

The celebrity narrators for 2026 include several familiar returning names, such as Neil Patrick Harris, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jodi Benson. However, this year also brings a few notable newcomers, including Jason Kelce, the former professional football player, Robin Roberts, and Lacey Chabert.

The holiday season also sees the return of the Candlelight Processional Dining Packages, offering guests guaranteed seating for one of the nightly performances with a meal at participating EPCOT restaurants. Prices range from $43 to over $100 per adult, depending on the restaurant choice.
