Whether Santa Claus, Babbo Natale, Shengdan Laoren, Pere Noel . . .
. . . or someone else visits you for the holidays, you can learn about them all at Holidays Around the World, Epcot’s annual international celebration of yuletide traditions filled with festive decorations and live entertainment, which premiered on this day in 1996. The holiday season celebration continues going strong today with the characters, legends, and lore from around the globe. The World Showcase pavilions feature storytellers describing their nation’s holiday traditions, three nightly performances of the traditional Candlelight Processional, featuring an auditioned mass choir, a celebrity guest narrating the story of Christmas, and a special holiday-themed finale to the dazzling Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.
