Are we really about to talk about Christmas at Disney World in the middle of May? Yes…yes we are!

Jollywood Nights entrance!

Disney recently posted a casting call on its careers website looking for dancers, performers, and actors for returning holiday shows in 2026. With this casting call going out, that meant Disney also quietly revealed some of the Christmas experiences that are returning to Disney World in 2026 — including Jollywood Nights!

The popular Christmas party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Jollywood Nights, is coming back in 2026. We know this because Disney opened auditions for Holidays in Hollywood, an exclusive show that takes place at the Theater of the Stars during Jollywood Nights.

The casting call was in search of dancers for this holiday show, with contracts starting in mid-September and running through early January. Jollywood Nights usually begins in early November and runs through the week before Christmas, but there is no confirmation on what dates the party will run on this year. Oddly enough, it’s too early for that!

Disney hasn’t announced anything else regarding Jollywood Nights, so we’ll be waiting for more information. Considering that they JUST started making announcements for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we probably won’t hear much for a while.

Holidays in Hollywood is a special Christmas show featuring different performances by Disney characters, including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Tiana, Belle, Minnie Mouse, and Mickey Mouse. The cast is filled with singers, dancers, and live jazz musicians. It truly brings the glamour of vintage Hollywood television specials to life.
