The complete list of narrators for Candlelight Processional has been released. The long-standing Disney holiday tradition returns to Epcot on Nov. 26 after taking a one-year break during the pandemic.

The lineup, subject to change, now includes:

· Nov. 26-28: Auli’i Cravalho

· Nov. 29-Dec. 1: Chita Rivera

· Dec. 2-4: Jodi Benson

· Dec. 5-7: Alton Fitzgerald White

· Dec. 8-10: Bart Millard

· Dec. 11-13: Lisa Ling

· Dec. 14-16: Andy Garcia

· Dec. 17-19: Ana Gasteyer

· Dec. 20-22: Courtney B. Vance

· Dec. 23-25: Steven Curtis Chapman

· Dec. 26-28: Blair Underwood

· Dec. 29-30: Pat Sajak

Addition holiday festivities at Epcot include “Joyful! A Celebration of the Season” on the Showcase Plaza Stage, the Canadian Holiday Voyageurs, Chinese Lion Dance and performers such as Pere Noel. Santa Claus will be stationed at American Adventure from Nov. 26 to Dec. 24.
