The third-annual Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is officially happening now through December 22nd! This specially ticketed event happens on select nights 7:30 PM until 12:30 AM with tickets still available to purchase!
Just like last year, Jollywood Nights shines as a fun evening of great food and drinks, unique shows, and an atmosphere in what feels like a dream-come-true holiday party!
What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along
The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along is a returning favorite and is offered in the Hyperion Theater where the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration is offered during regular park hours. The set and props all feel as though they came straight from Tim Burton’s mind and almost the entire soundtrack is played throughout the show. The story is a new concept following two adults who have fallen asleep watching a movie only to find themselves living in a re-enactment of The Nightmare Before Christmas. The highlight of the show has to be the stunningly tall Jack Skellington puppet and a performance by Oogie Boogie. The energy of the show matches the vibe of Jollywood and is actually a great way to both relax and enjoy the feeling of Christmas.
What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along is offered five times throughout the night at 7:30 pm, 8:30 pm, 9:30 pm, 11:30 pm, and 12:30 am.
Disney Holidays in Hollywood
Hosted in the Theater of the Stars where Beauty and the Beast is performed during normal park hours, Disney Holidays in Hollywood feels like a 1960’s holiday special in all the best ways. The highlight is, of course, the rare appearance of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. We are also visited by Mickey and Minnie plus Belle in her Christmas dress singing “As Long As There’s Christmas”. This 25-minute long show is the perfect representation of Jollywood Nights. I honestly wish there was another show or experience that mirrored this retro holiday production.
Disney Holidays in Hollywood is offered four times throughout the night at 8:15 pm, 9:15 pm, 11:15 pm, 12:15 am.
Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!
Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! originally premiered back in 2016 and after a brief hiatus is back but you can only see it at Jollywood Nights! This festive fireworks show is narrated by the elves Lanny and Wayne from the holiday short Prep & Landing. The story follows the Prep & Landing team on a mission to rescue Santa Claus who has been kidnapped by a familiar Disney villain. The show features projections on the Chinese Theater from a wide range of Disney films, complete with an upbeat Christmas soundtrack including songs like “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”. Fireworks at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are a rare treat plus the story with the music is so much fun.
Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! is offered only once per event at 10:00 pm.
Special Event Menu Items
The food and drink options at Jollywood nights are SO good and there’s too many options to be able to enjoy them all! We suggest really studying the menus before attending and making a priority list. You can see full details of everything offered here.
We especially enjoyed the menu at ABC Commissary, in particular –
Chicken Empanadas with Street Corn – chicken empanadas served with a side of street corn salad topped with chili peppers, lime, and Cotija cheese
Yuca con Chicharron – fried pork belly, yuca fires, red pickled onions, and chili-lime seasoning with a yellow pepper aioli
Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake – holiday chocolate cookie streusel, whipped cinnamon chocolate cheesecake, and spiced whipped cream topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and mini marshmallows
Maybe the best highlight from the 2025 Disney Jollywood Nights, is how much fun we all had! This event gives Hollywood Studios a new life and feels like the Christmas party you’ve always dreamed of attending. Be sure to let us know in the comments if you’re headed to Jollywood this season and what you’re looking forward to most. Happy Holidays!
