One of the most beloved holiday traditions at Epcot – a joyous retelling of the Christmas story by a celebrity narrator accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and a glorious mass choir.
Performances are at 4:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. EST nightly from November 27 to December 30, 2026.
The Candlelight Processional is an annual event at Walt Disney World‘s Epcot theme park in Florida. The event typically takes place during the holiday season, from late November through December, and is a beautiful and inspiring celebration of Christmas.
During the event, a mass choir of talented singers joins a live orchestra to perform traditional Christmas carols and songs. A celebrity narrator joins the choir and orchestra to recount the Christmas story through Bible readings about the birth of Jesus.
The Candlelight Processional is typically held in the outdoor America Gardens Theatre, with the choir and orchestra performing on a stage adorned with beautiful holiday decorations and candles. The result is a breathtaking, moving spectacle sure to inspire and uplift.
Guests can attend the Candlelight Processional by purchasing a special dining package that includes a meal at a select Epcot restaurant and reserved seating for the show. This is a popular option, as it guarantees guests a spot at the show and provides a delicious meal to enjoy beforehand.
The Candlelight Processional is a beautiful, unforgettable experience that will get you in the holiday spirit. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this magical celebration of Christmas at Walt Disney World!

The Candlelight Processional was the favorite part of our vacation. We go every time we are there at Christmas time. Booking a bounce back was our second favorite.
