2026 Candlelight Processional Narrators Announced

Disney has announced the narrator lineup for the 2026 Candlelight Processional at EPCOT. After a one-year hiatus, Neil Patrick Harris is back. He’s joined by three newcomers – Robin Roberts, Jason Kelce, and Lacey Chabert – and several familiar faces.

For many, the Candlelight Processional is the highlight of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. The America Gardens Theatre performances feature a 51-piece orchestra, the Voices of Liberty, a choir of more than 150 Disney cast members and community singers, and, of course, the narrators.
