Disney Confirms an EXCLUSIVE Holiday Addition, Only for 2025

Disney has dropped something special for the holidays, and it’s unlike anything else in the 2025 lineup. It’s festive, it’s fun, and it’s only here for one season. Disney already knows how to make Christmas feel magical, but this latest addition adds another way for fans to celebrate the season in style.

A Magical Time of Year

If you’ve ever walked through the parks in December, you know exactly why this time of year feels so special. The twinkling lights on Main Street, U.S.A., the smell of sweet holiday treats, and the sparkling castle all work together to make the parks feel like a snow globe come to life. For families, Disney at Christmas isn’t just a trip — it’s a tradition wrapped in nostalgia.

A Glamorous Night at Jollywood

Over at Hollywood Studios, Jollywood Nights brings a touch of old-school glamour to the holiday calendar. Guests dress up, sip seasonal drinks, enjoy live entertainment, and meet rare characters, all while soaking in a cozy, retro holiday vibe. It’s a different flavor of holiday celebration that has quickly become a fan favorite.

Around the World at EPCOT

Meanwhile, EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays transforms World Showcase into a global celebration. Guests can sample holiday snacks and drinks, watch cultural performances, and listen to the Candlelight Processional. Each pavilion shares its unique way of celebrating, making it one of the most immersive holiday experiences on property.

The Classic Christmas Party

And then there’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party — the ultimate Disney holiday tradition. Snow flurries, the scent of cookies, dazzling parades, and the unforgettable fireworks spectacular make this event the crown jewel of the season. Fans return year after year because it’s the perfect dose of Christmas cheer.

A New Way to Celebrate

But this year, Disney is adding something a little different. Instead of another event in the parks, they’ve rolled out a collection of Advent Calendars — a festive, collectible way to count down the days to Christmas. These calendars let fans unwrap a little Disney magic every morning, making the season even more memorable.
