It’s only June, but we’ve got Christmas music playing, warm cookies in the oven, and the Arendelle Yule Log on Disney+ crackling on the TV.

Why? Because it’s Halfway to the Holidays, and Disney is taking advantage of this halfway point to tease all the holly jolly news regarding the upcoming holiday season. For a limited time, you can grab holiday treats in the parks, we’ve gotten a first look at this year’s holiday merchandise, and we even found out that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will return this year — as well as a whole NEW holiday party in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, those aren’t the only parks that will be rockin’ around the Christmas tree… Let’s talk about it!

EPCOT is a fan-favorite Disney Park to visit throughout the Christmas season due to the park hosting its International Festival of the Holidays! Here, you can enjoy sweets and treats from around the world and witness how each culture celebrates the holiday season. What’s even better is that Candlelight Processional will RETURN for this year’s Festival of the Holidays, from November 24th to December 30th!

Seating at the Candlelight Processional

Candlelight Processional is a holiday gathering where a celebrity narrator tells the biblical story of Christmas while accompanied by a choir that consists of Disney World Cast Members.

This event could be a great way to cozy up with your family and some treats to hear “stirring songs of hope and joy performed by the orchestra and massed choir,” as Disney puts it!
