7/9/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Gertie the dinosaur is ready getting out her Santa hat as she is dreaming of the Christmas tree on Echo Lake and the 2025 Jollywood Nights party.

Which means - it is time for you to start planning your holiday Walt Disney World vacation and get your 2025 Jollywood Nights party tickets!

Let's take a sneak peak of all the glitz and cheer — including new bites, merch, and experiences - waiting for you this year.

​What is Jollywood Nights? 
Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that combines old Hollywood glam with festive fun this November and December.  When you walk down Sunset Boulevard at Disney's Hollywood Studios during the 2025 holiday season it will feels like you're stepping into a Christmas movie! With silver garlands draping across the street, giant ornaments taking over the landscape, and glowing reindeer hanging from the lampposts - it is straight out of a retro holiday postcard.

During Jollywood Nights, Hollywood Studios sparkles with festive performances, elegant décor, specialty food & drinks, exclusive entertainment, and lower ride wait times. 

2025 Jollywood Nights Dates 
This year, the vintage holiday vibes at Jollywood Nights happen select nights from Nov. 8th to Dec. 22nd. 
Picture
This year, party guests can enter Disney's Hollywood Studios at 5:30 p.m. - before the party kicks off at 7:30 p.m! This gives you two extra hours in the park to ride attractions; meet character or even dine at one of the restaurants! Once the party starts, you'll have up to five hours to jingle, all the way until 12:30 a.m.!

2025 Jollywood Nights Tickets Jollywood Nights is a limited capacity event, so you will want to purchase your tickets soon and well ahead of your travel dates.

Simply Perfect Vacations can help you purchase tickets at no extra charge to you!

See “What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along”

​
Guests can sing along to classic tunes like “What’s This?” and “Sally’s Song,” surrounded by the eerie yet enchanting glow of Halloween-meets-Christmas decorations. It’s a fun, whimsical way to celebrate the season, perfect for anyone who loves a little holiday twist with their Christmas spirit. 
Picture
Holiday Vibes All Over Hollywood Studios 

The Tip Top Club at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a must-visit during Jollywood Nights, offering a glamorous experience in the courtyard of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. This exclusive event transports guests to a 1930s-style jazz lounge, complete with live holiday music.

Picture
Witness the “Glisten!” Skating Show 

This holiday skating show right in front of the Chinese Theater is a sparkling treat. World-class skaters twirl, leap, and even jump rope with Christmas lights across a shimmering synthetic rink, set to classic holiday tunes and original Jollywood songs.  With twinkling projections, and Art Deco flair, it’s pure Christmas magic on ice.
Picture
Experience Jazzy Holidays at the Brown Derby 

Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby offers a refined, adult-oriented retreat within the Christmas atmosphere of Jollywood Nights. It’s an ideal choice for guests seeking a blend of culinary delights, live music, and a touch of holiday elegance.  

There is limited space at this popular offering, so if soft jazz notes harken the holidays for you - let your Simply Perfect Vacations travel agent know so they can make your reservations - included at no extra cost to you when you secure your Jollywood Nights ticket with SPV!

Join in the Holiday Fiesta en la Calle 
Holiday Fiesta en la Calle offers a lively Latin-inspired holiday street fair. Guests can soak up Latin holiday music performed by spirited musicians while enjoying colorful decorations that bring the fiesta to life.  

Meet José Carioca and Panchito from “The Three Caballeros,” and new this year, Miguel from “Coco” is joining in the fun.  

Food and drink at the Holiday Fiesta en la Calle are inspired by traditional Latin holiday flavors, with unique desserts and beverages that really capture the season’s warmth and spice. 
Picture
Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! 

Guests can witness this high-energy nighttime spectacular at Jollywood Nights in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, lighting up the Chinese Theater with fireworks, lasers, projections, and holiday music.  

Starring Wayne and Lanny from “Prep & Landing,” the show follows their mission to rescue Santa, with scenes from classics like “Beauty and the Beast,” “Mickey’s Christmas Carol,” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” 
​
Add in “snowfall” on Hollywood Boulevard and synced MagicBand+ effects, and that is a recipe for a fireworks-filled celebration wrapped in pure holiday magic.
