The Holidays at Walt Disney World 2007
Candlelight Processional

World Showcase transforms into a splendor of international holiday traditions and storytelling when Epcot presents Holidays Around the World Nov. 23-Dec. 30. Holiday icons -- such as France's Père Noël and Italy's La Befana -- make special appearances in their respective countries, while Santa Claus himself pays visits to The American Adventure. Hanukah and Kwanzaa customs are also showcased.

A highlight of Holidays Around the World, Candlelight Processional, treats guests to a grand musical performance featuring a mass choir and a full orchestra, accompanied by a celebrity narrator who retells the beloved story of Christmas.
