Disney’s Hollywood Studios Holiday Guide 2026: Everything Happening This Season

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Disney’s Hollywood Studios has a full holiday season packed in from November 13 through January 6, 2027 — and a lot of it is included with your regular park ticket. You don’t need a Jollywood Nights ticket to experience Hollywood Studios at Christmas. From the nightly Sunset Seasons Greetings projections to character dining and holiday film screenings, here is everything happening at Hollywood Studios this holiday season 2026.

Quick Summary

• Hollywood Studios holiday season: November 13, 2026 – January 6, 2027
• All listed experiences are included with regular park admission unless noted
• Sunset Seasons Greetings projections on the Hollywood Tower Hotel nightly
• Frozen Sing-Along holiday version at Hyperion Theater
• Minnie’s Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine (separately reservable, charged)
• Walt Disney Presents holiday props display and classic holiday short films
• Jollywood Nights separately ticketed event adds more on select nights ($169–$199)

Sunset Seasons Greetings

As night falls on Sunset Boulevard, the Hollywood Tower Hotel becomes the park’s holiday centerpiece. The Sunset Seasons Greetings projection show transforms the iconic facade through four distinct holiday scenes:

• A Muppets gingerbread masterpiece
• A Toy Story toy hotel
• A snowy corner of Arendelle
• A Dickensian village from Mickey’s Christmas Carol

The show runs nightly and is included with regular park admission. Position yourself on Sunset Boulevard in the early evening for the best view as the show cycles through its four sequences.

For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration

The Hyperion Theater hosts the holiday version of the Frozen Sing-Along throughout the season. The Royal Historians of Arendelle recount the story of the enchanted kingdom, with Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff joining the audience for songs from Frozen. Projected lyrics make it easy for younger guests to participate, and the show wraps with a holiday finale featuring Olaf.

This is a great indoor option during the middle of the day when the Florida heat peaks. Check the My Disney Experience app for showtimes — the Sing-Along runs multiple times daily.

Holiday Characters and Photo Spots

Hollywood Studios decorates heavily throughout the park for the season. Vintage holiday décor fills Echo Lake, Sunset Boulevard, and other areas. A few photo spots worth planning around:

• Gertie the Dinosaur at Echo Lake — Gertie gets dressed up for the holidays and makes for a fun, classic Hollywood Studios holiday photo
• Toy Story Land — Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear in holiday outfits amid large-scale seasonal decorations throughout Andy’s backyard

Minnie’s Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine

Minnie Mouse and friends host a festive character dining experience at Hollywood & Vine throughout the holiday season. The menu features:

• Oven-roasted herbed chicken
• Carved beef tenderloin
• Seared salmon
• Spice-rubbed pork loin
• Plant-based roasted mushroom-farro risotto
• Seasonal desserts including bread pudding and Mississippi mud pie

Advance dining reservations are highly recommended — this meal books up quickly during the holiday season. Same-day availability is limited. You can book 60 days in advance on the My Disney Experience app or DisneyWorld.com.

Walt Disney Presents Holiday Installation

Walt Disney Presents is featuring a seasonal display with props and artifacts from beloved Disney holiday films, giving fans a closer look at the physical craft behind some of the most iconic holiday content Disney has produced. The attraction’s theater also screens a selection of classic holiday shorts:

• Walt Disney’s On Ice
• Pluto’s Christmas Tree
• The Art of Skiing starring Goofy

Walt Disney Presents is free with park admission and rarely has significant wait times. It’s a good cool-down stop during the day and the holiday shorts screening is a genuinely fun, low-key experience.

Hollywood Studios Holiday Guide 2026: Final Thoughts

Hollywood Studios’ holiday season 2026 gives you a lot without spending anything beyond your park ticket. Sunset Seasons Greetings at night, the Frozen Sing-Along indoors during the day, holiday character photos, and the Walt Disney Presents seasonal display cover a full range of the holiday experience — all included with admission from November 13 through January 6.

If you want to add the Jollywood Nights experience on top of all this, tickets run $169–$199 and go on sale July 9 for resort guests and July 16 for everyone else. But even without the after-hours event, Hollywood Studios at Christmas is well worth the visit.
