According to WDWMAGIC sources, Disney's Hollywood Studios will debut an all-new ticketed holiday event at Walt Disney World this year.
As an alternative option alongside Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom, the Disney's Hollywood Studios event will feature special entertainment and access to the park's attractions.
A version of the Christmas holiday nighttime show Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! is expected to return as part of the event, the first time the holiday fireworks show has been offered since the pandemic closure. Originally debuting in 2016 and led by elves Wayne and Lanny, the duo from ABC/Walt Disney Animation Studios’ animated special "Prep & Landing," the yuletide adventure to the North Pole features memorable holiday moments from Disney films including "Mickey’s Christmas Carol," "Beauty and the Beast," "Pluto's Christmas Tree," "Bambi," Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and more.
Disney has seen robust sales of the Disney After Hours event at Disney's Hollywood Studios, with every night selling out through June. Adding a holiday event at the park makes a lot of sense and will likely follow the After Hours success.
Disney will announce its plans for the 2023 Walt Disney World Christmas Holiday season on June 15.
