The Candlelight Processional is a retelling of the Christmas Nativity story with a celebrity narrator, a choir, and an orchestra. The dates for this year are 26 Nov-30 Dec. There are usually three shows a night, but no information on that has been released yet for this year. It is held in the American Gardens Theater in Epcot. To see the CP itself, you don't need to book anything, but during busy times of year, it can be really difficult to get a seat and there are long lines to get in.

To reduce the wait time and increase the chances of getting a seat, a lot of people book a CP Dinner Package. For a set price (depending on restaurant), you eat dinner at a participating Epcot restaurant, and then stand in a different line to get into the Processional. People in the package line are let in first and then people in the standby line are let in if there are any seats left.

As of right now, not a whole lot of information has been released about this year's CP besides the dates. An incomplete narrator list is floating around the DIS somewhere, but the date when people can book packages, show times, participation restaurants for the package, and even details of what's included in the package (appetizer, etc.) are still up in the air.

Here is a link to another thread that should give you a little more information. Most of the good information is in the first page or so, including a link to information about last years Candlelight Processional. After the first page, it's a lot of discussion about waiting for CP dining packages to be released. If you do decide that you want to book a CP dining package, the current rumor is that those reservations will open up this week (possibly tomorrow).
