D23 has posted their holiday events. Here is the information on the Candlelight event:
D23's Candlelight Spectacular at Disneyland
Sunday, December 6, 2009
The day begins at 10 a.m. when guests can begin checking in. Theme park admission is included so you can enjoy all the holiday splendor and merriment of Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure at your own pace. You'll enjoy reserved seating at Disneyland's perennial favorite, A Christmas Fantasy Parade, and expect a few more surprises as well!
As night falls, you'll gather inside Stage 17 at Disney's California Adventure where a winter wonderland awaits. Make sure you don't eat too many holiday treats during the day, because Disneyland's Executive Chef has prepared a dazzling, sumptuous holiday feast for you to enjoy with your fellow D23 members. As you dine, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pluto and their pals — all decked out in their holiday finery — will keep you in the highest of holiday spirits with special entertainment that will have you humming and singing along!
Following dinner, you'll be escorted to your reserved seats for the Candlelight Processional and Ceremony, where you'll experience the breathtaking majesty of this retelling of the Christmas story. Hosted by a celebrity narrator and performed by the Disneyland Orchestra, the Disney Employee Choir (which makes up the ceremony's iconic living Christmas tree), bell choirs, trumpeters and a chorus of hundreds, the ceremony's powerful music, traditional carols and poignant words will leave you with an even greater appreciation for the true meaning of Christmas.
At the conclusion of Candlelight, the evening continues as you are escorted back at Stage 17 for more holiday merriment. As you enjoy a sweet treat and some warm cocoa, the magic-makers at Disneyland will offer our guests a very special "behind-the-candles" look at the history of holiday traditions at Disneyland, as well as the special care and work that goes into making the parks look their best for the season. The team responsible for producing the Candlelight Ceremony will also join us to share their experiences and a surprise or two, and the Disney Employee Choir will entertain you with a rousing sing-along of your favorite carols in a toe-tapping medley that will close the evening on the right note. As you depart from this truly wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience, remember that D23 members never go home empty-handed, especially during the holidays! 'Tis better to give!

UPDATED 10/30/2009 - Here's a little tease about Candlelight I found in a D23 interview with Senior Show Director Denny Newell:
You're directing the stage show that's a part of D23's Candlelight Spectacular. What can you tell us about it?
I can tell you that we are bringing back a classic favorite that I got to direct when we first did it in the park, Minnie's Christmas Party. We're in the middle of the casting process now. We're hoping to get some returning Cast Members to reprise their roles. It's a return to classic Disney character shows. It really is a heartwarming story with six classic Disney characters, two singers and lots of Christmas songs — and snow! And there will be photo locations available for guests to pose with some of their favorite Disney character in their holiday best.
