Let’s jingle some bells and take a look at everything you can do for the holidays in Disney World this year!

See Santa

Santa traveled all the way from the North Pole to visit Disney World, and he’s ready for some socially distanced meet and greets. It’s a Christmas miracle!

We know him!

There’s plenty of holiday cheer to go around — you can visit Santa in several places throughout Disney World!

Check out the Fort Wilderness Christmas decorations

Over at Fort Wilderness, they don’t deck the halls, but they do deck the campsites with tons of holiday decorations!

No, that’s not a living room — it is someone’s campsite!

Rent a golf cart and drive around the resort at night to check out all the fun Christmas displays!

Admire the Disney-inspired gingerbread houses

Speaking of Disney Resorts, visit the Deluxe Resorts around Disney World to take a look at some incredible handmade gingerbread displays!

Grand Floridian Gingerbread House

You can find these incredible gingerbread houses at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Disney’s Beach Club Resort. They’re definitely worth a visit!

Visit the Christmas Tree Trail

Every year, the creative Disney Imagineering team decorates themed Christmas trees in Disney Springs as part of the Christmas Tree Trail!

On the tree trail, you will find Christmas trees themed after some of your favorite Disney movies, characters, and attractions. Even the spooky Haunted Mansion has a themed Christmas tree!

Take a walk through EPCOT with the cookie stroll

Cookies and winter go together like peanut butter and jelly! There’s a reason people leave cookies out for Santa, after all!

The EPCOT World Showcase’s annual cookie stroll is back for 2021, so get ready to sample some sweet treats this season!

Taste some holiday treats at the Festival of the Holidays

EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is full of unique foods, drinks, and desserts made just for the holiday season!

The best part is that you can try foods inspired by holidays all around the world!

Watch the Candlelight Processional

While we’re on the subject of EPCOT, we highly recommend taking some time to watch the Candlelight Processional in the World Showcase.
