Jollywood Nights Shows and Entertainment
Disney Holidays in Hollywood
Join Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy as they host a holiday gathering with appearances by beloved Disney friends, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Belle, and Tiana, in this classic Hollywood musical stage show at the Theater of the Stars. Below is a look at this show during its first year. It has been modified since this year.
This show is all about capturing the glamorous vibe of classic Hollywood holiday TV specials, with a fresh, modern twist to celebrate the spirit of the season.
What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along
Enjoy an immersive telling of the story of Halloween Town and Christmas Town with Jack Skellington in the Hyperion Theater. This is a beautiful blend of spooky and holiday cheer.
Throughout the show, guests can sing along to favorite tunes from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, like What’s This? and Sally’s Song. This is a whimsical way to celebrate the season. It is a lot of fun as it offers a bit of a holiday twist to the Christmas season.
Glisten!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios may be in central Florida, and one might not expect to see ice skating on a tropical evening. However, that is exactly what happens when Glisten! is performed during Jollywood Nights. World-class skaters twirl, leap, and dance across a shimmering synthetic rink, set to classic holiday tunes and original Jollywood songs in front of the Chinese Theater.
Dance the Night Away
There will be multiple opportunities to dance the night away during Jollywood Nights. This can be done in different places and in different styles. First off is the Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club. This is found in the courtyard of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. This transports guests to the magical holiday vibes of the 1930s.
The Pixar Disco will light up the night at Pixar Plaza. This holly jolly dance party will feature Edna Mode and Frozen from Disney and Pixar’s The Incredibles, Joy from Inside Out, and Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc.
Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby offers a more refined and adult-oriented experience at Jollywood Nights. This is a perfect choice for guests who want a blend of culinary delights, live music, and a touch of holiday elegance. This offering is very popular and has limited space, so reservations are suggested. More details will be released in the future for this offering.
Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!
Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! is Jollywood Nights’ nighttime spectacular, which sees the Chinese Theater come to life with fireworks, lasers, projections, and holiday music.
This nighttime spectacular stars Wayne and Lanny from Prep & Landing. It follows their mission to rescue Santa, with scenes from Disney classics including Beauty and the Beast, Mickey’s Christmas Carol, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
To add an extra dose of magic, “snow” falls on Hollywood Boulevard, and MagicBand+ comes to life with synced effects. This is a holiday show full of holiday magic!
