🎭 Stage Shows & Entertainment

From the sparkle of Holidays in Hollywood (hosted by Kermit and Miss Piggy) to the spooky-fun Tim Burton Sing-Along and the icy elegance of Glisten! on Hollywood Boulevard, shows are the star of Jollywood Nights. With no parade or candy trails, this party is built around live entertainment that you won’t find anywhere else at Walt Disney World.🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: Use our map to note the showtimes—these anchor the night, so plan your evening around them!


🎆 Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!

The big finale of Jollywood Nights is this fireworks and projection spectacular lighting up the Chinese Theatre. Expect Disney and Pixar holiday magic with lasers, music, and snow flurries in the air.🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: The hub gives you the most immersive view, but Sunset Boulevard offers more breathing room and a great atmosphere.


Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam!

🎄 Rare Character Meet-and-Greets

Jollywood Nights shines when it comes to rare holiday characters. Miguel joins the party in 2025 at Holiday Fiesta en la Calle, Duffy appears in his Santa suit, and fan-favorites like Phineas & Ferb, Santa Stitch, and Powerline Max make this party extra special.🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: Some of these lines rival Jack & Sally at MNSSHP—if a character is a must-do, line up early.


🍸 Party Lounges & Dining

The Tip Top Club and Jazzy Holidays at Brown Derby add a swanky twist to the party. Live jazz, holiday cocktails, and vintage vibes turn these lounges into part show, part hangout.


Twilight Soiree at the Tip Top Club Disney Jollywood Nights

🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: These spots fill up fast—arrive early or be ready to wait if you want a table.


💃 Dance Party Zones

High-energy music fills Pixar Place and Holiday Fiesta en la Calle. With DJs, live performers, and characters that dance along, these are perfect for keeping the night lively between shows.


🧚‍♀️ Pixie Dust Pro Tip: If you’re traveling with kids (or just need a break from show schedules), dance parties are the easiest way to enjoy the atmosphere without lines.
