This year, from November 7, 2026 to January 6, 2027, Disney Enchanted Christmas reaches a new milestone with the very first Christmas celebrated at the heart of World of Frozen, at Disney Adventure World. This new experience adds to the beloved traditions of Disney Christmas, which will continue to light up Disneyland® Park.
Just months after its inauguration, Disney Adventure World, the destination’s reimagined second park, will invite guests to discover an all-new sparkling atmosphere throughout the kingdom of Arendelle. In an ambiance inspired by Christmas Scandinavian traditions, featuring Nordic decorations and brand-new musical celebrations, Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff will welcome guests of all ages to World of Frozen for a Christmas like no other.
At Disneyland® Park, the timeless magic of a Disney Christmas will continue to delight guests through a program of beloved seasonal experiences that has become a must-see tradition including enchanted decors that will light up Main Street, U.S.A.® and the majestic 24-meter-high Christmas tree. Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade, bringing together numerous Disney Characters dressed in their finest festive attire, will roll through the park to upbeat music, its floats aglow with thousands of twinkling lights celebrating the spirit of this magical season. Heartwarming encounters with Santa Claus4 and Disney Characters will complete these magical moments, creating treasured memories to last a lifetime.
On December 31, each of the two Disney® Parks will present its own New Year’s Eve Party, specially created to celebrate the turn of the year with festive parties orchestrated by Disney Characters and culminating in spectacular night-time shows. At Disney Adventure World, New Year’s Eve will take on a distinctly festive spirit with parties across its worlds and a drones[1] and fireworks show above World of Frozen themed around Walt Disney Animation Studios’ film Frozen and the other worlds of the park. At Disneyland® Park, Disney Characters will join the festivities during DJ parties before a special fireworks display lights up the sky above Sleeping Beauty Castle at midnight. Two unforgettable ways to celebrate the New Year in style. All that remains is for visitors to choose how they would like to start 2027!

SPOTLIGHT ON THE VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS AT THE HEART OF WORLD OF FROZEN
For the first Christmas at the heart of the kingdom of Arendelle, Queens Anna and Elsa, joined by Olaf, will welcome guests into an enchanting winter setting, enhanced with Christmas ornaments inspired by traditional Nordic craftsmanship. From the colorful façades of the village of Arendelle to the surrounding Scandinavian-inspired landscapes, every corner will be adorned with refined Christmas decorations, while a Christmas tree will light up the entrance to World of Frozen in a warm, festive atmosphere.
At the foot of North Mountain, celebrations will come to life throughout the day through several musical moments. Several times a day, guests of all ages will enjoy The Arendelle carolers, an approximately fifteen-minute musical interlude led by Olaf alongside a Christmas carol choir, before Queen Anna and Queen Elsa arrive to elevate the moment. As songs from the Walt Disney Animation Studios short film Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, such as “Ring in the Season” or “When We’re Together” play, snow will blanket Arendelle village in a truly magical moment.
Guests will also be able to head to Arendelle Bay, where Queen Anna and Queen Elsa, dressed in their new winter outfits, will invite the audience to discover Ring in the season with Anna and Elsa, a joyful celebration lasting about seven minutes, presented several times a day, including in the late afternoon.
The immersive experience will continue through the lively streets of the village, where the people of Arendelle – Oaken, Mossie and, for the very first time, Kristoff[1] – will meet guests in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Throughout their visit, guests of all ages will also be able to enjoy a dining offering specially created for this winter celebration, featuring comforting dishes inspired by the flavors of the Far North, before heading to Arendelle Boutique, which will offer its exclusive collection of souvenirs dedicated to World of Frozen, as well as a selection of creations crafted in the spirit of Scandinavian artisanship.
