Holidays at Disneyland 2025: Where Magic Meets Merriment

If you’ve ever dreamed of strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. with twinkling lights overhead, festive music in the air, and the magic of the season all around—then the holidays at the Disneyland Resort are calling your name.

From November 14, 2025 through January 7, 2026, Disneyland transforms into a sparkling winter wonderland full of heartwarming entertainment, glowing décor, and timeless Disney traditions.

✨ Extra Sparkle for the 70th Celebration

This holiday season, some of Disneyland’s 70th Celebration magic will continue to shine—adding even more festive touches to the parks. Keep an eye out for Mickey, Minnie, and friends in special holiday versions of their anniversary outfits, styled in elegant greens, reds, and golds. It’s the perfect blend of holiday spirit and anniversary sparkle.

🎆 Must-See Holiday Magic at Disneyland Park

• Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle becomes even more breathtaking, adorned with over 80,000 shimmering lights and glimmering décor.

• The spectacular “Believe… in Holiday Magic” fireworks fill the skies with holiday cheer, best viewed from Main Street, U.S.A., near “it’s a small world” Holiday and the Rivers of America.

• “it’s a small world” Holiday dazzles with its festive overlay, celebrating holiday traditions from around the world in a joyful, musical journey.

• Haunted Mansion Holiday returns with a merry and slightly spooky twist, courtesy of Jack Skellington and the crew from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

• The heartwarming “A Christmas Fantasy Parade” features Disney characters, toy soldiers, dancing gingerbread cookies, and even Santa himself as they make their way down Main Street in a festive celebration.

📍 Insider Tip: For a great view of the parade, consider watching near “it’s a small world” Holiday or along the Matterhorn route. You can also reserve a prime viewing spot by booking the Holiday Time at the Disneyland Resort guided tour—and I’d be happy to take care of that for you.

Santa Claus is making appearances throughout both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park, as well as the three Disneyland Resort Hotels—ready to hear wish lists and pose for cheerful holiday photos.
