Santa has a new location at Walt Disney Presents in 2025. We’ll discuss it further below. If you’re a fan of classic Disney Christmas movies, you also won’t want to miss the holiday installation at Walt Disney Presents. This was a bit of a surprise that Disney threw in the mix at the start of the season!
We do not cover Jollywood Nights exclusively in this guide because it is a separately ticketed event held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on select evenings between November and December.
Sunset Seasons Greetings
During the holiday season, Sunset Seasons Greetings is offered each evening. Grab a spot anywhere along Sunset Boulevard and watch as the Hollywood Tower Hotel comes to life with dazzling holiday projections. You’ll even experience a little Florida snowfall, commonly called “snoap” (snow+soap). The projections transform the tower into a Muppets gingerbread masterpiece, a “Toy Story” toy hotel, a snowy corner of Arendelle, and a Dickensian village from “Mickey’s Christmas Carol.” In 2025, showtimes are offered nightly between 6:00 p.m. and 8:45 p.m.
“A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration” has a Special Holiday Ending
During the holidays, “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration” offers a special holiday ending featuring Olaf. This is one of our Christmas must-dos during the holidays. The final act, which is unique from the regular version, is an unforgettable holiday finale! Don’t miss it and bring a tissue if you’re a little sentimental!
Toy Story Characters Meet In Holiday Best
Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear have an extra festive look for the holiday season. Make sure to pencil in some time to meet with them while touring Toy Story Land! Don’t miss the larger-than-life seasonal decor while you’re there!
Minnie’s Seasonal Dine (Holiday Dine)
Meet Minnie and her friends for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Hollywood and Vine. This is the only character meal at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and it changes seasonally. During the holidays, it’s called Minnie’s Seasonal Dine. The characters (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto) all wear holiday outfits for the meal!
Seasonal Entertainment
We have found two seasonal acts at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this holiday season. The first is Hollygroove Swingin’, a brass ensemble that plays intermittently between 10:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. They are scheduled to be in the park this year on select days (Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) through December 21, 2025. The band plays a mix of jazz, blues, R&B, and hip-hop. We’ve stopped to watch them a few times, and they put on a great show. Even some of the characters like to get in on the act. For exact times, you can find the band listed in the “Entertainment” section of the My Disney Experience app.
Another seasonal act, The Record Setters, is available on select days (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday) between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. These artists offer a comical adventure as they attempt to set “world records” at every show. We’ve seen them perform, and our best advice is to give them a little room. Don’t worry, they’ll tell you the same thing!
Walt Disney Presents Holiday Installation
A new holiday exhibit recently debuted at Walt Disney Presents. Toward the back of the gallery, you’ll find a display featuring props and other items from holiday films like Noelle, Babes in Toyland, The Muppets Christmas Carol, and The Santa Clause. When you’re finished (don’t forget to meet Santa first!), you can check out a few holiday shorts in the theater, including Walt Disney’s On Ice, Pluto’s Christmas Tree, and The Art of Skiing starring Goofy.
Santa Meet-and-Greet
Santa has a new meet-and-greet location at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year. He meets daily at this location between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at Walt Disney Presents. You’ll want to check the My Disney Experience app for his exact times on the day of your visit. He is listed in the character section. This is our favorite place to meet Santa in 2025. The queue features glowing lights and large Christmas artwork featuring classic (and some obscure) Disney characters. We have a complete walk-through with photos of Santa’s location at Walt Disney Presents if you want to learn more. It details how long we waited and what to expect.
Specialty Food and Treats
Hollywood Studios has several new and returning treats this holiday season. From the Linzer Cookie Mousse Torte to the Red Velvet Holiday Milk Shake, everything looks delicious. We’ve put together a foodie guide with photos of this year’s holiday treats at Hollywood Studios. It includes pictures of each item and location details.
Vintage Holiday Decorations
We’ll wrap things up with a few photos of this year’s holiday decorations at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This park tops our list for holiday decor because of its dreamy Hollywood vibe and vintage charm. You can expect lots of tinsel, stars galore, and plenty of bright red bows. We love a good bow around here!
We hope you’re able to check out some of the decorations and offerings at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this holiday season! For more on Christmas, see our entire 2025 holiday guide!
