Experience the Magic of Disney Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios

Imagine Walt Disney World's Disney’s Hollywood Studios transformed into a holiday wonderland, filled with festive decorations, exclusive shows, seasonal treats, and magical surprises. If the holidays are a favorite time of year (and who doesn’t love them?), then Disney Jollywood Nights is set to be a must-do event! This five-hour, separately ticketed celebration runs on select nights from November 9 to December 21, blending Hollywood glamour, Disney nostalgia, and holiday spirit. Here’s a rundown of the can't-miss experiences included with an event ticket.
“Glisten!” – A New Skating Spectacular
Disney Jollywood Nights introduces “Glisten!”—a stunning skating show on Hollywood Boulevard. Guests can enjoy multiple performances by international champion skaters, delivering breathtaking routines to a vibrant holiday soundtrack. Expect both original songs and beloved Disney tunes like “Be Our Guest” and “When You Wish Upon A Star” to elevate this magical experience.
Disney Holidays in Hollywood
At the Theater of the Stars, “Disney Holidays in Hollywood” merges contemporary jazz with classic Hollywood charm. Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy host this spectacular, featuring performances by Disney favorites such as Tiana, Belle, Minnie Mouse, and Mickey Mouse. The lively holiday tunes will have guests humming long after the show.
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along
Fans of both Halloween and Christmas will love the Nightmare Before Christmas sing-along at the Hyperion Theater. Guided by two hosts through scenes from Tim Burton’s classic, guests can expect plenty of surprises—including appearances by Jack Skellington and Oogie Boogie—bringing an extra twist to the evening.
New and Returning Dance Parties
For those ready to dance, head to the all-new Pixar-themed dance party, where Joy, Frozone, Edna Mode, and other Pixar characters join in the fun. Meanwhile, the Holiday Fiesta en la Calle dance party returns with the energy of a Latin street fair in its new home at Animation Courtyard. Look out for appearances by José Carioca and Panchito from The Three Caballeros, adding to the cultural festivities.
Glimmering Glamour at The Tip Top Club and Hollywood Brown Derby
Step into a retro Hollywood atmosphere at the Tip Top Club’s Twilight Soirée inside the Hollywood Tower Hotel. With swanky music, vintage cocktails, and a mysterious vibe, this is the perfect spot to unwind in style. For a more relaxed setting, the Hollywood Brown Derby hosts Jazzy Holidays, complete with live piano music and seasonal bites, making it a cozy place to enjoy the season.
Note: Reservations are recommended for Jazzy Holidays due to limited capacity.
Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! at 10 p.m.
The popular nighttime show, Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!, returns with lasers, fireworks, and festive fun. The journey to the North Pole features Disney favorites like Pluto’s Christmas Tree, Mickey’s Christmas Carol, and Beauty and the Beast, culminating in a sparkling finale that’s full of holiday magic.
Photo Ops and Character Appearances
No holiday party would be complete without photos! Disney PhotoPass digital photos and videos are included with your event ticket, making it easy to capture every festive moment. Special character encounters and photo ops can be found throughout the park, from ABC Commissary Lane to Echo Lake. Look out for scenes from The Muppets Christmas Carol and Instagram-worthy spots across the park.
New character appearances include The Mandalorian in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Bo Peep and Lotso in Toy Story Land, Phineas and Ferb, and Santa Stitch and Santa Duffy spreading holiday cheer.
Season’s Eatings
Get ready for a culinary adventure with festive snacks and seasonal bites around every corner. Guests won’t want to miss the Chicken Empanadas with Street Corn, Meatball and Polenta, and the adorable Christmas Gertie Cookie. Plus, as a parting treat, each guest will receive six champagne-flavored Wondermade marshmallows in a Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy-themed box—an extra sweet way to end the night!
Dashing Through the Queues
Disney Jollywood Nights offers a limited-capacity experience, meaning shorter wait times for attractions like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Enjoy the thrills with less time in line.
Exclusive Holiday Merchandise
As a final touch, Ollie, Hollywood’s most stylish gingerbread man, offers a collection of exclusive party merchandise. From apparel and accessories to home décor and collectibles, guests can take home the perfect memento from this magical night.
Whether you’re a seasoned Disney fan or visiting for the first time, Disney Jollywood Nights promises to be a holiday event like no other!
