What you see at Christmas
- The 24-metre tree in Town Square, lit several times a day.
- Artificial snow on Main Street, U.S.A., several times a day.
- The "Mickey and His Sparkling Christmas Parade", twice a day on Main Street, U.S.A., with Mickey, Minnie, the Disney Princesses and Santa on floats.
- The shows: "Let's Sing Christmas!" at Videopolis, a Minnie and Mrs. Claus show at the Théâtre du Château from 14 November, and, in Arendelle, the Arendelle Christmas Choir and a show with Anna and Elsa on the bay.
- The meet-and-greets: Santa at Disney Clothiers, Stitch at Videopolis, the princesses on Central Plaza, Kristoff, Oaken and Mossie in Arendelle. Jack Skellington is met through a virtual queue, subject to availability.
- Food: gourmet chalets and a winter menu are offered in the parks.
When to go and how many days to plan
One day lets you see the decorations, the parade and one or two shows; two days leave time to enjoy both Disneyland Park and the World of Frozen without rushing. School holiday periods, especially between Christmas and New Year, are the busiest, and ride queues grow longer. To pick a quieter day, read Disneyland Paris crowds; for hours and length of stay, Disneyland Paris hours and stay.
Tickets and getting there
Christmas 2026 prices are not in the sources we read: check the price for your date before booking. A 1-day 2-park ticket gives access to Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World on the same day; a fixed-date ticket is usually cheaper than a flexible one. Compare the options in Disneyland Paris tickets: which offer.
From Paris, the RER A (towards Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy) links Châtelet and Gare de Lyon to Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy station in about 40 minutes. On a strike day the RER A can be hit: on 5 November 2026, check live traffic; see Paris strike on 5 November 2026. For a shuttle from your hotel, see Disneyland Paris transfer: which offer.
New Year's Eve at Disney
The evening is celebrated with fireworks over Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park and a pyrotechnic show with drones over the World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World; the drones depend on the weather. Both are included in the ticket for the park concerned. If you would rather stay in Paris, compare with New Year's Eve in Paris. The Disneyland Paris page covers the essentials of the park, and Christmas in Paris the city's markets and lights.
Information checked on 23 October 2026 (Sortiraparis, based on Disneyland Paris). Ticket prices and hours from 7 November to 6 January are not given here: consult the official website.
