The Pixar and Star Wars star will narrate the four performances this weekend, according to social media posts.
The secret identity of the Disney celebrity that is typically kept under wraps until the last possible moment as a surprise for VIP visitors invited to the annual Candlelight Processional at Disneyland has been revealed for this holiday season.
“Coco” and “Andor” star Benjamin Bratt will narrate the 2025 Candlelight Processional at Disneyland on Saturday, Dec. 6 and and Sunday, Dec. 7 at 5:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. each evening, according to Mickey Visit.

Most years the narrator’s secret identity leaks via social media as the celebrity rehearses on Main Street U.S.A. in advance of the Candlelight Processional — and in clear view of thousands of smartphone-wielding Disneyland visitors.
The celebrity narrator tells the story of the first Christmas between songs. Past narrators have included Cary Grant, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda, Dick Van Dyke, Kurt Russell, Molly Ringwald, John Stamos, Chris Hemsworth, Viola Davis, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jane Seymour, Chris Pratt, Brie Larson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sterling K.
