Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has officially kicked off the holiday season in Tinseltown-style. This specially-ticketed event held on select nights in November and December features glitz, glam, and a whole lot of Disney magic. The MouseHouseNews.net team is anxiously awaiting our opportunity to hit the ground running and show you what this event has to offer for 2025.
We’ve already discussed the delicious treats, the special Jazzy holiday menu at The Hollywood Brown Derby, and the huge list of characters you can meet at this event. Today, we’re going to go over the entertainment options at the party. Live entertainment is an integral part of the celebration, so you’ll want to be prepared with a wishlist of what you want to see and do!
As a reminder, attendees can enter Hollywood Studios as early as 5:30pm this year. Getting there before the party kicks off at 7:30pm allows you to start your evening by riding some rides, taking photos, or getting into position for your first “must-do” of the night (without spending precious party time doing so). For now, let’s get on to the entertainment lineup!
Disney Holidays in Hollywood
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are once again hosting “Disney Holidays in Hollywood”. This holiday musical stage production (“with a twist”) takes over the Theater of the Stars during the party. Taking influence from classic Hollywood holiday TV specials, it features singing, dancing, and appearances by Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Belle, and Tiana. What a perfect way to get in the holiday spirit!
