The narrator for the 2024 Candlelight Processional has been revealed. As is the case in most years, there has been plenty of speculation about who would end up taking the podium and telling the story of Christmas (with the help of a mass choir, orchestra, handbells, and other musicians). This year speculation has ranged from actors from Moana 2 or Mufasa: The Lion King actors, to Marvel actors, to Star Wars actors, to even those who appeared at the recent opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Late in the afternoon, a soundcheck revealed that the narrator was Kathryn Hahn.
Hahn is an accomplished actor who has appeared on the stage, small screen, and silver screen. She most recently starred in Agatha All Along. She played the role of Agatha Harkness, which she originated previously in WandaVision.
The Candlelight Processional is an annual tradition that is beloved by fans and can trace its origins lots back to the era of Walt Disney in the 50s. The full history can be found here. Every year on the first weekend of December on Saturday night and Sunday night it is presented twice each evening. For many years Daps Magic has filmed this beautiful presentation. Different videos through the years can be seen below.
