Jingle Bells? Try Jingle BAM!

Some of Disney’s most beloved characters are taking to the skies at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this holiday season, as they appear in an all-new, turbo-charged nighttime spectacular. “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!,” which premieres at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Nov. 14, takes place on, around and above the theme park’s Chinese Theatre, and includes state-of-the-art projections, special effects, fireworks and even snow.

As the story unfolds, it becomes evident that Santa has gone missing and a variety of Disney characters are banding together to get Santa back to the North Pole in time for Christmas. The search ream is led by elves Wayne and Lanny from ABC/Walt Disney Animation Studios’ animated special “Prep & Landing,” on their mission to find Santa.

Capping off the festivities is a new musical score with familiar holiday tunes, but all featuring an original twist. Moments from such Disney films as “Mickey’s Christmas Carol,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Pluto’s Christmas Tree,” “Bambi,” and eeven Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” all make an appearance in this tale of holiday joy.

A special message from Santa Claus caps off the family spectacular.

“Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!” runs from Nov. 14 through Dec. 31, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Dessert Parties for the Holidays

Offered nightly, during the show, guests can book an all new dessert party. The Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Holiday Party features holiday-inspired snacks, desserts and specialty beverages in the courtyard of the Chinese Theater.

The parties begin an hour before the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! commences, and cost $69 for adults, and $39 for children, including all taxes and gratuities.

More Holiday Cheer

Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which celebrates movies and television, offers a new spin on “Tinsel Town” during the holiday season. The theme park features a giant Christmas tree over the main entrance and holiday displays, colorful garlands and sparkle lights throughout the park.

Guests can take a step back to yesteryear, when they visit the Once Upon a Time shop, a vintage shop along Sunset Boulevard. Just like they did when there were kids, guests can enjoy talking with a traditional department store Santa Claus, and share their secret wishes for the holidays with him.
