The FIRST Official Holiday Decorations Are Up in EPCOT!

Within the four Disney World theme parks, each park has its own identity. Adventurers and explorers can visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom, while dreamers and princess-lovers may prefer a trip to the Magic Kingdom. If you love that old Hollywood era, we highly recommend a trip down Hollywood Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And then there’s EPCOT — the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. But what do these parks look like during the holiday season at Disney World?

Magic Kingdom during the holidays

Well, so far, we’ve seen holiday decorations appear at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and even Disney’s Hollywood Studios! But as the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival continues, we’re still waiting for some festive flair to end up at EPCOT.

The famous EPCOT Christmas tree has not arrived in the park quite yet, but we did manage to find the first official holiday decorations in the World Showcase! Sure, most of the park is still decorated with Food & Wine Festival banners, topiaries, and signs, but one little corner of the park is ready to skip ahead to the holiday celebrations.

The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is still happening!

There’s one corner of EPCOT that is pretty easy to miss; it’s tucked away in the back of the France Pavilion, so unless you know about the INCREDIBLE treats at L’Artisan des Glaces and Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie, you might not know to head back to this little street. But trust us, it’s worth a visit — especially now that this location marks the FIRST official spot in EPCOT to put up its holiday decorations!

Ta-da!

These festive snowflakes are all strung up along the street. Aren’t they cute? We spot some blue lights on the snowflakes, too, so we have a feeling this looks even BETTER at night!

Here’s a closer look at the snowflakes!

We can’t wait for the rest of the holiday decorations to arrive in EPCOT. It’s SO fun to see how each country in the World Showcase celebrates the holiday season. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
