Christmas eve restaurant

Can anyone recommend a festive restaurant for Christmas Eve after the candlelight procession has finished in Epcot? The only meal and theatre deal we could get means we are eating at 2pm in the Rose and Crown Pub in world Showcase and then go to the candlelight procession at 5pm. We are unsure how long the procession lasts and where to eat as a special Christmas Eve treat straight afterwards before heading back to our Disney Resort

The CP is about 45 minutes long. Are you wanting to stay at Epcot for your meal?

Thank you. We don't mind eating in Epcot or back at The Wilderness Lodge but the Artist Point menu back there does not interest me much and it's atmosphere looks stagnant. We are looking for a nice meal, at a reasonable price, and possibly festive. Norway looks nice but the cost is so high and bearing in mind we are having a character breakfast in Cinderellas Castle the next morning (Christmas Day) at 8am, we need an early night so can't afford to stray too far away from our beds after the CP.

It's our first time in Disney for Christmas and Christmas Eve and Cheistmas Day we want the meals to be perfect and memorable.

Just about any place you eat on Christmas Eve, if it is a sit down, is going to be expensive. At this late date you may not even be able to find a dinner available at a sit down restaurant since they started taking ADRs a couple of months ago.
