FULL Schedule Announced for 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Entertainment

Who’s ready for some ghost stories and tales of the glories of holidays long, long ago?! You probably thought we were talking about Halloween for a second there.

The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays begins on November 28th and runs till December 30th. The festival offers a diverse array of traditional holiday foods from around the world, engaging storytellers, and lively entertainment. One of our favorite things about the holidays at EPCOT is hearing about holidays and traditions from around the world!

If you’re looking for a travel agent to help with your vacation, we recommend our friends at Mouse Fan Travel. They’re experts in the field with over 20 years of vacation planning experience, and they can help take a bunch of the stress out of the entire booking process for you!

Just like every festival at EPCOT, walking around the World Showcase is a must. Yes, you will find food, drinks, and cookies from different pavilions during the Festival of the Holidays. However, you’ll also be able to gather around and listen to storytellers share holiday legends and lore from all around the world.

Well, if that’s something you’re looking forward to, you’re going to want to pull those calendars out! Disney announced the full storytellers schedule for the Festival of the Holidays, and we’re laying it out for you.
