Candlelight Processional

Hear the stirring story of Christmas as told by a celebrity narrator, accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and mass choir.

Celebrity Narrators
Each night, a celebrity narrator tells the biblical tale of a savior born to a virgin in Bethlehem. Gorgeous choral pieces performed by an orchestra and various choirs are interwoven with the narration, inspiring the audience with songs of hope and joy.

This year, an exciting lineup of celebrities—including a few new faces and voices—are lending their dramatic talents to this year’s production, including:
World Showcase, America Gardens Theatre – 5:00, 6:45 & 8:15pm
(*NOTE: on December 4, shows will take place at 6:45pm and 8:15pm only).


A Holiday Tradition in Sight and Sound
Experience holiday magic at this seasonal showcase for Guests of all ages at America Gardens Theatre.

Each year, the Candlelight Processional makes its way to Epcot, where the rich sounds of the full orchestra and choir fill the theatre, and a special guest narrator takes the stage. Listen along while the story of the babe in a manger touches your heart as it has for generations—accompanied by warm and inspiring holiday music.

In the wintertime, Holidays Around The World transforms Epcot into an international celebration of Yuletide traditions filled with festive decorations and live entertainment. A special event that’s part of the festivities, the processional is a wonderful way to share the magic of the season with your family and friends! For many Guests, the processional has become an essential family tradition.

Thank you for posting this! I'm ready to start working on our Epcot plans, and this is so helpful.

Bring on the Firenog!

 

[yulilin3]

I'm gonna be broke with the food and drink offerings this year

 

[kellyjeanie]

This is fantastic, thank you!!

Our Epcot day is Dec 1. No CP for us. We do plan to do EMH that morning. Do you think it will be crazy busy with NPH there for CP? We planned to leave around 3 after using our FEA FP. But was hoping to RD TT then head to Soarin. Single rider not an option at TT for us. We have GG at 10:30 am then will head to WS starting in Canada.

 

[Astryd]

Thank you very much for posting this!

Slight change to post 1. All the holiday food locations (minus the American Holiday Table) say World Showcase Promenade. As soon as I get a map I'll post it here

anyone going for NPH will have a dinning package or will be heading straight to the standby line, so it won't be busier than any oother day

We will also be at Epcot on 12/1 and I am worried about the crowds. We do have a CP dining package, but it was slim pickins' and that was 3 months ago. If you look now ALL restaurants are sold out. I'm worried that this may make the crowds worse that day. Would love to be wrong of course!
