Holidays at the Disneyland Resort

Halloween in the parks is just about to begin, but Disney Destinations is always one step ahead of the game and preparing for the next seasonal change. This does mean that information will be trickling out about the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort and of course we have a few details!

For 2025/2026, Disneyland Resort will transform into a magical wonderland from November 14, 2025 through January 7, 2026. This does mean that the 70th Celebration will continue into the holiday magic.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and the gang will all be sporting new holiday apparel which is their 70th Celebration options with a holiday twist. We can expect to see the traditional holiday colors of reds, greens, and accemarvelnts of golds.

Magic is everywhere, especially when the snow falls in Southern California, which does not happen often. Wintertime Enchantment brings snow on Main Street, then look to the skies for “Believe…In Holiday Magic” above Sleeping Beauty Castle. The snow can also be found near “it’s a small world” and Rivers of America.

Included in the entertainment, “ A Christmas Fantasy Parade” makes its way down Main Street U.S.A. with its floats, characters, gingerbread, and toy soldiers! During Holidays at Disneyland Resort, there are a few magical overlays for attractions. “it’s a small world” and Haunted Mansion Holiday are the most popular!

Also returning for the 2025 season is the “Holiday Fun with Santa and Friends” at Fantasyland Theatre. Here guests can enjoy holiday classics (singing along, of course!), create crafts that make the perfect souvenir, and enjoy photo opportunities with some Disney pals and even Santa Claus!

Disneyland Park isn’t the only park that receives a holiday twist. Cars Land moves from spooky to delightful with the decorations and the area transforms right before nightfall with twinkling lights. Inside Radiator Springs there is a twist to holiday classics with original lyrics with Mater’s Jingle Jamboree.

To refuel, Disney California Adventure Park hosts Disney Festival of the Holidays where an array of food options are available for purchase. Live entertainment will be available daily, and exclusive merchandise will be around the park.

A Sip and Savor Pass can be purchased, which is a prepaid digital coupon, that can be used in exchange at select Festive Food Marketplaces.

For daily entertainment “Mickey’s Happy Holidays” features Toy Drummers, Disney characters, and Pixar characters. Mirabel from “Encanto” can also be found on select days telling stories and performing songs from the film during “Mirabel’s Gifts of the Season.” Another famous face at Disney California Adventure Park, Miguel from “Coco” can be found on select days performing “A Musical Christmas with Mariachi Alegria de Disneyland & Miguel.”

This is just a snippet of the happenings at Disneyland Resort holiday magic. While nothing beats the sights, sounds, smells, and nostalgia at Disneyland, the stress of planning a vacation can be tough. Allow All In Vacay to plan your Disney getaway.
