Five additional narrators have been revealed for 2016 edition of the Candlelight Processional at Epcot starting November 25th.

The Candlelight Processional lineup, subject to change, currently looks like this:
- Nov. 25-27: Steven Curtis Chapman

- Dec. 19-21: Joe Morton
- Dec. 22-24: Ming-Na Wen
- Dec. 25-27: Jodi Benson
- Dec. 28-30: Cal Ripken Jr.
