Don’t want to spend on Mickey’s Very Merry Party, there are other special Christmas options at Magic Kingdom. The Jingle Cruise is back for all those adventurers who love holiday puns.

The Frozen Holiday Surprise is also returning at Cinderella Castle, and there is new holiday decor around the park.

EPCOT

The International Festival of the Holiday returns this year, but EPCOT gets its holiday celebration off to a later start. The Christmas decorations won’t appear at EPCOT until after Thanksgiving on November 28.

The Candelight Processional returns to the American Gardens Theater at the American Pavilion in World Showcase with three shows. Speaking of the American Pavilion, the Voices of Liberty will return as Dickens Carolers again this year.

Throughout World Showcase, the Holiday Storytellers will return to each country with special holiday food that represents the countries.

Everyone’s favorite boat ride, Living with the Land, will also be getting its Glimmering Greenhouse again this year.

Hollywood Studios

November 8, 15, 17, 22, 24, and 29

Jollywood Nights offers a sophisticated old-school Christmas from 7:30 to 12:30, with guests allowed to enter the park at 5:30.

For guests who don’t want to spend on Jollywood Nights, Hollywood Studios offers a holiday decor throwback to the 40s and 50s with some of the coolest decorations in Disney World.

Hollywood Studios also offers the Sunset Seasons Greetings, a nightly holiday projection on the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Get ready for Muppets Gingerbread, the Toy Story toy hotel, snowy Arendelle, or a Dickensian village from Mickey’s Christmas Carol.

Animal Kingdom

Of the four parks, Animal Kingdom offers the least for the holidays. The Tree of Life Holiday Projection Show welcomes darkness every night with the Tree of Life Awakening Holiday Edition.

There is also the Merry Menagerie Animal Puppets walking around Discovery Island.

It may only be July, but it’s already time to start planning for Christmastime at Disney World, and it starts this week.
