In November and December, Hollywood Studios transforms itself into a winter wonderland. Not only will you be able to enjoy a holiday display on Hollywood Tower of Terror & see Billboards on Sunset Boulevard come to life, but you might also find Santa driving around in a convertible!

This year, we are expecting some changes due to the addition of the Jollywood Nights special ticketed event. We don’t yet know if the experiences prior to 2023 will be the same or if they will be limited since they are now part of the Hollywood Studios Christmas party.
