The International Festival of the Holidays is the last EPCOT festival of the year, and it is all about holiday celebrations all around the world. The festival takes place from November 29th through December 30th. You can stop by Holiday Kitchens to enjoy holiday dishes from different countries, take part in a holiday scavenger hunt, go on a cookie stroll, and so much more!

This show is a retelling of the Christmas story by a celebrity narrator who is accompanied by an orchestra. You can watch this show at 5PM, 6:45PM, and 8:15PM in the America Gardens Theatre.
