UPDATED January 12, 2026

Disney Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It took place on thirteen select nights between November 8th and December 22nd, 2025. Stay tuned for 2026 dates and details!

Once inside the park, guests enjoy plenty of festive fun that is exclusive to Jollywood Nights!

As part of the event, guests can view the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! nighttime fireworks and projections spectacular, enjoy exclusive treats, meet OVER 20 rare characters, and more!

Throughout the park, guests are able to experience unique music and entertainment inspired by different genres. On Commissary Lane, for example, guests can explore the lively Holiday Fiesta en la Calle, while Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy host a live holiday special at Theater of the Stars with some other Disney special guests (like Princess Tiana and Belle). And Jack Skellington himself hosts a special sing-along themed to Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas at Hyperion Theater in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and a DJ spins holiday tunes on Hollywood Boulevard. And several times throughout the event, Hollywood Boulevard hosts a skating spectacular, Glisten, featuring international champion skaters set to holiday music!

Additionally, look out for two limited-capacity entertainment experiences happening during the event: The Hollywood Brown Derby transforms into Jazzy Holidays — a speakeasy-inspired jazz lounge (think singalong piano bar!) for which Advance Dining Reservations are strongly recommended; and The Hollywood Tower Hotel Courtyard hosts the Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club, an “other-worldly soiree” with a ghostly band (the idea here is that Disney has recreated the Tip Top Club from the Tower of Terror lore)!

Look out for special holiday-themed Magic Shots and exclusive Disney PhotoPass experiences. Your ticket comes with complimentary digital downloads of your Disney PhotoPass photos from the event.

And guests are encouraged to dress the part, as Disney shares that “Disney Jollywood Nights is brimming with red-carpet moments, Hollywood vibes, glimmering décor and fantastic photo ops—so you’re encouraged to don your holiday best!”

Guests also have access to select rides and shows during the event, including the following:

• Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
• The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
• Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After
• The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure
• Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
• Slinky Dog Dash
• Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After

And, of course, specialty food and drink items are available for extra purchase.
