Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! will not return to Walt Disney World in 2021. The nighttime spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was originally left out of Disney’s announced 2021 holiday entertainment, and now it’s confirmed it’s not returning.
Here’s the official announcement from reporter Scott Gustin.

The confusion about Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!’s return centered around the show’s page on Disney’s website. The show is listed as temporarily unavailable, but the description says it’ll return in 2021. Below is how the page looks as of the publication of this article.
Disney did not provide a reason for Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!’s absence this year. The reason could involve staffing shortages or it could be a budgetary decision. We’d think Disney would want to spread out its holiday crowds by keeping guests in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at night, but something is overruling that strategy.
