Recently, the Candlelight Processional returned to EPCOT for its Festival of the Holidays. Today, this tradition returned to Disneyland Resort; here’s what it’s like!

For the 2021 Candlelight Processional, you’ll only have four chances to see the show: there are performances at 5:30 PM and 7:45 PM on December 4th & 5th. Like many other years, this show is invitation-only, but there are some designated areas where park guests can also enjoy the show.

This year’s processional is hosted by famous actor Sterling K. Brown! He’s best known for his role on the show This is Us, but he’s also appeared in Disney films like Frozen II and Black Panther. Throughout the night, he narrated the story of Christmas.
