Crazy enough, that time of fun new dishes, unique drinks, and free concerts at EPCOT is almost over. We swear EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival just started, but we looked away for one second, and the holiday season at the park is almost here!

EPCOT’s beloved Festival of the Holidays is just around the corner — celebrating different cultures and holidays around the world through food, holiday storytelling, decorations, and more. Everywhere is going to be decorated, but the World Showcase is going to look COMPLETELY different!
EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays begins on November 28th and goes until December 30th. The festival is truly special! Of course, there will be plenty of holiday dishes and drinks from around the different pavilions around the world, and the cookie stroll will be back!

While you’re exploring the World Showcase, eating all the holiday treats you can imagine, you can stop to see performances from Holiday Storytellers. These storytellers share festive traditions and bring holiday tales from their respective countries. It’s a cool way to learn about the holidays from different parts of the world.

Well, Disney has just released what each pavilion’s unique story will be this year, so you can look ahead and plan which ones you NEED to hear from — it’s tough to fit them all in during a busy day!

Take a look at the list:
- Mexico Pavilion – Las Posadas Celebration
- Norway Pavilion – A Mischievous Magical Barn Santa
- China Pavilion – Chinese Lion Dancer
- Italy Pavilion – La Befana
- Japan Pavilion – Daruma Storyteller
- Between the Morocco and France Pavilions – Hanukkah Storyteller
- France Pavilion – Père Noël
- United Kingdom Pavilion – Father Christmas
- Canada Pavilion – Canadian Holiday Voyageurs

This is one of our favorite parts of the festival! The performances from the storytellers do happen frequently, but showtimes can change each day. Make sure to check the My Disney Experience app when you’re in the park during the festival to confirm times!
