Is there a better holiday gift than Brendan Fraser telling the story of Christmas at Disney World?

The Oscar-winning Whale actor and The Mummy franchise star has joined the Orlando resort's roster of celebrity narrators set to appear at the 2023 Candlelight Processional within Epcot's International Festival of the Holidays, an annual Christmas celebration in which famous faces spread yuletide cheer through the park.

The readings will take place in the America Gardens Theatre inside Epcot's World Showcase, and a revolving door of stars are set to participate this year, including Eva Longoria, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Neil Patrick Harris, and more, Disney announced, though originally scheduled reader Simu Liu was forced to drop out due to health issues.

Other events set for Epcot's Christmas festivities include photo opportunities with Santa Claus, gospel-themed musical performances celebrating both Christmas and Kwanzaa, and a diverse array of holiday storytellers placed elsewhere throughout the country pavilions around the World Showcase section of the park.
