Guests can also experience the joy of Christmas in the uplifting Gospel, R&B, and holiday songs of JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season. Join the choir as they spread holiday cheer at their new location in CommuniCore Plaza. This special celebration takes place just four times a day, so don’t miss your opportunity to experience the holiday cheer they bring!

Take a stroll around World Showcase, where seasonal legends and traditions come to life through Holiday Storytellers. “Meet the mischievous Barn Santa in the Norway pavilion for a great laugh or listen to the tale of La Befana in Italy, the kind-hearted witch who visits on the Eve of the Epiphany; take in the wonders of Lunar New Year with a Chinese Lion Dance viewing or discover the traditions of Hanukkah located between Morocco and France.” Every culture has unique holiday traditions, and there’s no better place than EPCOT to experience their magic!
