Jollywood Nights 2025: Dates, Characters, Shows & More
Disney Jollywood Nights, Hollywood Studios’ Christmas party, makes its 2025 debut on November 8. The separately ticketed event is available on select nights through December 22. Here’s how Disney describes the event:
“Walking down Sunset Boulevard at Hollywood Studios during the holidays feels like stepping into a Christmas movie. Silver garlands drape across the street, giant ornaments take over the landscape, and glowing reindeer hang from the lampposts like something straight out of a retro postcard. During Jollywood Nights, Hollywood Studios sparkles with performances, elegant décor, specialty food & drinks, exclusive entertainment, and lower ride wait times.”

What’s new in 2025?
Disney announced a few new additions for this year’s Jollywood Nights. I’m not sure the new daytime shows should count, but we’ll go ahead and include them.
- See Miguel at Holiday Fiesta en la Calle in a new location near Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
- Enter the park earlier than ever before, at 5:30 PM before Jollywood Nights starts
- Enjoy two new shows at Hollywood Studios, “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” and “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After”
- Snack on the new Backlot Express Restaurant specialty menu (more details to come soon)
- A new Jollywood Nights merch collection will premiere soon (did someone wish for a spirit jersey?)
Entertainment
There will also be plenty of returning favorites. Kermit and Miss Piggy’s show at the Theater of the Stars will be bittersweet thanks to Muppet*Vision 3D closing last month.
