EPCOT’s Christmas Tree Shines Bright as Holiday Décor Pops Up Around World Showcase
The EPCOT holiday glow-up has officially begun, and the park is already jingling its way into the 2025 season. International Festival of the Holidays doesn’t kick off until later this month, but crews have wasted no time decking every corner of World Showcase with garland, ornaments, and a whole sleigh-full of festive flair.

The star of the show is once again EPCOT’s towering Christmas tree, standing proudly at the entrance to World Showcase between Port of Entry and World Traveler. It’s wrapped in golden garland, sprinkled with ornaments representing countries from around the lagoon, and topped with a beautiful blue-robed angel watching over the holiday hustle. Snow globe accents featuring each pavilion are back too, perfect for those “around the world in one photo” snapshots.
Over in Mexico, the pavilion is glowing with greenery, and even the La Cantina de San Angel seating area has joined the merrymaking. Norway never likes to let anyone out-festive them, and true to form, Frozen Ever After, The Fjording, and surrounding walkways are trimmed with candles, bells, lanterns, and more garland than Anna could shake a snowflake at.
Festival booths throughout World Showcase are already receiving their holiday ribbons and evergreen accents, setting the stage for all the season’s snacks and sips coming soon.
Germany’s pavilion is sparkling as always, with its stage and surrounding buildings wrapped in garland that follows the arches and balconies. Italy is lined with holiday greenery along staircases and terraces, bringing a warm touch of Natale to the waterfront.
The American Adventure is extra patriotic this year, with red ribbons and classic garland adding charm to the pavilion. The pavilion’s own Christmas tree has returned as well, adorned with Americana ornaments honoring the spirit of the season.
Over in France, look for three oversized ornaments placed inside lush greenery in the courtyard. Even Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is sporting its own holiday garland at the attraction entrance, now celebrating its new 2D experience in festive style.

The United Kingdom Pavilion features garland-wrapped light poles and the return of the charming Christmas tea set display nestled into the garden. And in Canada, the Mill Stage is decked in snow-frosted garland complete with icy touches worthy of the Great White North.
Guests entering EPCOT will also notice garland draped overhead with a giant ornament centerpiece greeting everyone as they arrive.
Decorations are still going up, but EPCOT is anticipated to be fully transformed by next week, perfectly timed for the start of International Festival of the Holidays.
