Like the other parks, Epcot has its own unique large Christmas tree. However, when you enter the park, you don’t notice anything holiday related, until you reach the World Showcase. Then, hold on to your Mickey Santa hat, because there are Santas everywhere! Each country has at least one special live presentation, done throughout the day, to share with guests how that country celebrates the holiday season. It’s fun to go from one country to another, learning what they do around the world during this time of the year, and when allowed, getting involved in the story telling.

Then, each night, there is a beautiful “Candlelight Processional”. The America Gardens Theater is transformed into a church-like scene, with suspended gorgeous stained glass windows on both sides of the theater and one of the largest choirs, accompanied by an orchestra and trumpeters, sharing beautiful Christmas songs, along with a celebrity that shares the traditional Bible story of Christmas. It’s hard not to tear up if you are fortunate enough to get a seat.
