The Dr. Phillips Center\u2019s Frontyard Festival is set to return in December, but with a decidedly holiday focus.<\/p>\n

Starting Dec. 4, the Seneff Arts Place will play host to the Frontyard Holiday Festival, a monthlong seasonal soiree featuring live performances, light displays, fire pits, a holiday market, nightly snowfalls and activities geared toward the whole family \u2014 all illuminated by the massive Winterglow Tree construct.<\/p>\n

There will be carolers, dancers, ensembles and solo acts performing daily on the main stage of the Seneff Arts Plaza including Opera Orlando, Central Florida Community Arts, Orlando Gay Chorus, \u00a0Tymisha Harris, Ericka Dunlap, April Brown & After 5, Orchestra Fuego, Jarred Armstrong, Will Patrick and many more.<\/p>\n

Santa will be there, of course, and you can expect a seasonal snow flurry or five.<\/p>\n

Every Sunday of the Fest will feature two showings of holiday films screened outdoors on the plaza. Movies include Dr. Seuss\u2019 The Grinch (Dec. 7), The Polar Express (Dec. 14), The Santa Clause (Dec. 21), A Christmas Story (Dec. 28) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (Jan. 4).<\/p>\n

There will be festive eats and drinks (adult and not), including hot cocoa and seasonal cocktails, as well as a holiday market with local vendors. And crafting activities and games are on offer at Winter\u2019s Hollow.<\/p>\n

The Frontyard Holiday Festival runs from Dec. 4 to Jan. 4, 2026, in front of the Dr. Phillips Center in Downtown Orlando and is free to attend.<\/p>\n
