Sometimes it seems as if just as soon as an EPCOT festival begins, it ends. This is especially true with the first and last festivals of the year, which are the shortest festivals EPCOT has. The last festival of the year, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, ran for just 33 days. Here we are again… the end is here!
As MouseHouseNews.net has reported, the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays started on November 28th. It wraps up today, so this is your final opportunity to experience it this year. Sheryl Lee Ralph will narrate the final Candlelight Processionals tonight, so don’t miss out on that.

Additionally, be sure to include a performance of JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season in your plans. You can see this show at the CommuniCore Plaza Stage in EPCOT’s World Celebration area. Showtimes are at 2 PM, 3:05 PM, 4:05 PM, and 5:10 PM. In case you missed it, the MouseHouseNews.net team was able to record one of the shows and you can watch it below.
The final day of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays also marks the end of the global holiday storytelling in World Showcase. One such storytelling show is located in the Mexico pavilion: Las Posadas Celebration. You can see a recording of the show below.
Yet another reason to visit today is the final day to see Santa Goofy at The Odyssey. A PhotoPass photographer is on hand to capture your visit with the dog in the red suit.

Once the International Festival of the Holidays wraps up tonight, EPCOT will be without a festival for a couple of weeks. The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts kicks off on January 16th. In the meantime, EPCOT will be active for the New Year holiday, so there will still be crowds in the short term.
