Disney Jollywood Nights 2025 Dates, Tickets and Sneak Preview 

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Gertie is already brushing up her Santa hat, and we’re dreaming of the glittering reflection of the Christmas tree on Echo Lake. That’s right, it’s time to start planning for actual tinsel in tinsel town with the 2025 Jollywood Nights dates and a sneak preview of all the glitz and cheer — including new bites, merch, and experiences. 

Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that combines old Hollywood glam with festive fun each November and December.  

Walking down Sunset Boulevard at Hollywood Studios during the holidays feels like stepping into a Christmas movie. Silver garlands drape across the street, giant ornaments take over the landscape, and glowing reindeer hang from the lampposts like something straight out of a retro postcard. During Jollywood Nights, Hollywood Studios sparkles with performances, elegant décor, specialty food & drinks, exclusive entertainment, and lower ride wait times. 

This year, the vintage holiday vibes at Jollywood Nights happen select nights from Nov. 8th to Dec. 22nd. Note that November dates are set for select Saturdays and Mondays, while December dates fall on select Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. 

This year, you can make merriment a half-hour earlier, with Jollywood Nights entry available at 5:30 p.m. before the festivities kick off at 7:30 p.m. You’ll have up to five hours to jingle into the night, all the way until 12:30 a.m.  

Jollywood Nights is a limited capacity event, so make sure you purchase tickets well ahead of your travel dates. Jollywood Nights ticket prices vary per date.
