13 Nights EPCOT Will Be MORE Crowded in December

Celebrities are FLOCKING to EPCOT this holiday season!

The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is BACK from November 28th through December 30th, 2025, bringing with it tons of unique food offerings, holiday merch, and event-exclusive entertainment. Needless to say, EPCOT will be incredibly busy during this festival — but one specific entertainment event could make the park extra crowded.

The Candlelight Processional is an incredibly popular annual tradition at Disney World that features “the stirring story of Christmas retold by a celebrity narrator and massed choir — accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra, herald trumpets and the Voices of Liberty.”

The event is held nightly from November 28th to December 30th at 5 PM, 6:45 PM, and 8:15 PM at the America Gardens Theatre, and it almost always draws a huge crowd.

The celebrity narrator often has a lot to do with that, and it can get more crowded based on the celebrity speaking.

The full list of narrators has already been revealed, and we’re thinking it could get extra popular on the nights Ralph Macchio (the Karate Kid), Tony and Emmy award-winning actress and singer Leslie Uggams, Henry Winkler (The Fonz himself), Gary Sinise (Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump), Brendan Fraser (90s heartthrob and The Mummy star), and Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) speak.

The celebrity narrator schedule is as follows:

• Constance Wu (NEW): November 28th and 29th
• Jordan Fisher: November 30th, December 1st, and December 2nd
• Susan Egan (NEW): December 3rd and 4th
• Ashley Eckstein: December 5th and 6th
• Ralph Macchio: December 7th and 8th
• Leslie Uggams (NEW): December 9th and 10th
• Marlee Matlin: December 11th, 12th, and 13th
• Henry Winkler (NEW): December 14th and 15th
• Lauren Daigle (NEW): December 16th and 17th
• Gary Sinise: December 18th and 19th
• Brendan Fraser: December 20th, 21st, and 22nd
• Luis Fonsi: December 23rd and 24th
• Joel David Smallbone (NEW): December 25th and 26th
• Brie Larson (NEW): December 27th and 28th
• Sheryl Lee Ralph (NEW): December 29th and 30th

In truth, we’re excited to see all the stars come out to EPCOT and celebrate the season with all the fans! Will you be there? Be sure to get there early and continue to follow us here at AllEars for all the latest Festival of the Holidays coverage!
