Chewbacca to Celebrate Life Day at Disney Jollywood Nights 2025

Disney made the announcement with a teaser video on Instagram showing Chewie donning his crimson robe and clutching his glowing Life Day orb, a symbol of family, joy, and harmony on his home planet of Kashyyyk. The Star Wars holiday, celebrated annually on November 17, will line up perfectly with one of this year’s Jollywood Nights event dates, making it the ideal time to honor the beloved Wookiee tradition.
This marks the first time guests can meet Chewbacca in his Life Day costume, making the encounter one of the most anticipated additions to this year’s event lineup.
A Galaxy of Holiday Fun
Disney Jollywood Nights runs on select nights from November 8 through December 22, transforming Hollywood Studios into a retro-glam winter wonderland. This year’s party adds several new offerings, including:
- Miguel at Holiday Fiesta en la Calle near Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
- Bing Bong on Grand Avenue
- Partysaurus Rex in Toy Story Land
- Two stage shows: The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure and Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After
