Awakening the Tree of Life for the Holidays at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

This holiday season, Guests visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park will find festive new entertainment and holiday décor in every land.

At the heart of the park on Discovery Island, the Tree of Life awakens with a series of wintry tales, each told in a unique artistic style and complemented by a familiar and heartwarming holiday-inspired musical score. The Disney Parks Live Entertainment team has been working for months to bring this experience to life. Recently, they got their first glimpse of how these new moments will look on the iconic tree.

These winter “awakenings” are still very much a work in progress, as the team moves toward the Nov. 8 debut when the Tree of Life will come alive with the magic of nature and the spirit of the holidays.
