2025 is not announced. Everything below is either the pattern or the last confirmed cycle, labeled as such — see the main Festival of the Holidays page for how the event works.
Last confirmed cycle · Checked July 2026
2025 cycle, labelled as such. We have not reproduced the 2025 kitchen roster or the 2025 Candlelight narrator lineup, because both change annually and the narrator list in particular has been altered after publication within a single cycle.
What is different in 2025
- Ran the standard mid-November to end-of-December window as an included-with-admission festival, with the Candlelight Processional performing three times nightly at the America Gardens Theatre.
- The holiday kitchen count stayed well below the autumn festival's, which continues to mean longer lines per stand in December than in October despite a comparable total crowd.

This part does not change year to year, so it is kept in one place.
