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

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.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
