The Happiest Place on Earth becomes the merriest place on Earth for the holiday season. Enjoy themed shows and rides, festive decor, and seasonally dressed character favorites. In 2025, look for Mickey and his friends to debut sparkling new holiday looks.

The Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration continues to offer special anniversary entertainment, experiences and more.

Returning favorites to Disneyland Park include the ‘A Christmas Fantasy’ Parade and the nightly ‘Believe…In Holiday Magic’ fireworks spectacular, along with the holiday versions of Haunted Mansion and it’s a small world.

Other beloved traditions at Disneyland Park include the breathtaking Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle, the magnificent 60-foot-tall Christmas tree, and magical snow falling on Main Street, U.S.A..

At Disney California Adventure Park, the Disney Festival of Holidays features the sights, sounds and tastes of a diverse season of celebrations, including Christmas/Navidad, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Three Kings Day. The nighttime Disneyland 70 spectacular World of Color Happiness adds to the joy of the season, while Mater's Jingle Jamboree and Luigi's Joy to the Whirl put a holiday spin on favorite rides. Plus, on select days, Mirabel and her friends from Disney Animation’s Encanto share “Mirabel’s Gifts of the Season,” and Miguel from Pixar’s Coco joins Mariachi Alegría de Disneyland for “A Musical Christmas with Mariachi Alegría de Disneyland & Miguel”.

Keep an eye out for Santa Claus: the Jolly Old Elf visits both parks as well as Disneyland Resort hotels through December 24.

The holiday season at Disneyland Resort promises scrumptious seasonal treats and mouth-watering menu offerings. Limited time merchandise, such as this year's Mickey Mouse Family Christmas Collection, can do double duty as both park souvenirs and holiday gifts.

To enter a theme park, Guests (ages 3 and older) need a valid ticket and a theme park reservation for the same day and same park they want to visit.
