Disney4me Posted July 10, 2025 Report Posted July 10, 2025 Can you believe it is already time to start thinking about the holiday season? While it may not be quite time to start hanging up garland and decorating the Christmas tree (although no judgement if you have already started!), it is time to start planning your Disney World trip! Christmas Decorations in Magic Kingdom Disney recently revealed a BUNCH of details about the holiday season at Disney World, including information about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Let’s take a look at EVERYTHING that Disney has confirmed for this year’s Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Event Details First up, let’s start with the basics! Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed event that happens on select nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The event nights for this year’s Jollywood Nights are: November 8th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th, 29th December 1st, 6th, 10th, 13th, 17th, 20th, 22nd Jollywood Nights The event officially runs from 7:30 PM until 12:30 AM. However, with an event ticket, you can enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios as early as 5:30 PM, so you can get two full hours of fun in before the party even starts. Then you have five hours of party time to enjoy all the special offerings! Jollywood Nights Tickets will go on sale for guests staying at select Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green on July 16th. All other guests will be able to purchase tickets beginning July 22nd. Let’s take a look at the entertainment that has been confirmed for this year’s event! Entertainment There is no shortage of entertainment during Jollywood Nights, that’s for sure! Disney has confirmed that quite a bit of the entertainment will be returning to this year’s event. “Glisten!” will be making its return! This ice-skating show, located in front of the Chinese Theater, features world-class skaters performing to holiday music. The skaters are incredibly talented, twirling and skating their way around the rink with projections on the Chinese Theater. Glisten! “Disney Holidays in Hollywood,” starring Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy at the Theater of the Stars, will return. This show features lots of beloved Disney characters, including Belle, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Tiana. You will enjoy singing, dancing, lots of antics, and a live band. Disney Holidays in Hollywood “What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along” will also be returning this year. You can catch this show at the Hyperion Theater, where you’ll join Jack Skellington for a “dreamlike adventure inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.” If you have ever wanted to sing along to The Nightmare Before Christmas, this is your chance! “What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along” If you are looking for a glamorous experience at Jollywood Nights, make sure you head over to the Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club. The Hollywood Tower Hotel’s courtyard is transformed into a 1930s-style jazz lounge where you can enjoy live music and cocktails. Tip Top Club We have seen the Holiday Fiesta en la Calle in previous years, but this year it is moving over to the Coaster Courtyard on Sunset Boulevard. This event is a Latin-inspired street fair with Latin holiday music, food, and drink inspired by Latin holiday flavors, and the chance to meet José Carioca, Panchito, and Miguel. Miguel is a NEW addition to this year’s event! José and Panchito Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby is also back! This is an exclusive “party within a party” that takes place at The Hollywood Brown Derby. It is a limited-capacity event, so we highly recommend making reservations if you are hoping to attend. Inside, you will find holiday music and old Hollywood vibes, plus craft cocktails and snacks available for purchase. Peppermint Schnapps Sipping Chocolate at Jazzy Holidays Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! will also be returning to the event. This nighttime spectacular features fireworks, lasers, projections, and holiday music. You can catch the show at 10 PM on party nights, and it lasts about 14 minutes. It is a great way to celebrate the night with a BANG! Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! There will also be LOTS of character meet-and-greets at the party; let’s take a look at the characters Disney has confirmed. Character Meet & Greets Jollywood Nights will have MORE than 20 classic and rarely seen characters throughout Hollywood Studios. This event really does kick it out of the park when it comes to characters!
