  3. Parades and Shows: Witness heartwarming Christmas parades and watch as the night sky lights up with the magical “Believe…In Holiday Magic” fireworks, complete with a gentle snowfall.
  4. Meet Santa and Holiday Characters: Get photos with Santa Claus and Disney characters in their holiday best!

Best Things to Do at Disneyland During Christmas

1. Explore Festive Attractions

Some attractions undergo seasonal transformations, creating a holiday experience you won’t find any other time of year. “It’s a Small World Holiday” is a must-see as the ride is adorned with Christmas lights, festive decorations, and a blend of traditional holiday songs. Another favorite is “Haunted Mansion Holiday,” where Jack Skellington and his friends from The Nightmare Before Christmas add a spooky twist to the holidays.

2. Savor Festive Foods and Treats

Disneyland’s holiday menu features seasonal treats like gingerbread cookies, hot cocoa, peppermint-flavored desserts, and holiday-themed churros. Whether you’re at Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure, be sure to stop by the seasonal food kiosks to try specialty holiday dishes and delicious festive drinks.

3. Join the Festivities at Disney California Adventure

While Disneyland Park is magical, Disney California Adventure offers its own holiday celebrations. The Festival of Holidays at California Adventure brings together cultural holiday celebrations from around the world with live music, dancing, and delicious food offerings.

4. Celebrate with Christmas Parades and Fireworks

The “A Christmas Fantasy Parade” showcases Disney characters dressed in festive outfits, marching along with reindeer, snowmen, and even Santa Claus himself. The nighttime “Believe… In Holiday Magic” fireworks show is the highlight of the day, creating a magical, wintry scene as snow falls over Main Street U.S.A.

Tips for Visiting Disneyland at Christmas
