Christmas 2026 at Disneyland Paris: What to Expect in Each Park

This year, Christmas has a new setting at Disneyland Paris. From November 7, 2026, to January 6, 2027, the Disneyland Park classics will be joined by Arendelle’s first holiday season at Disney Adventure World. The programme announced by Disneyland Paris gives you good reason to look at both parks before choosing your day.

Two November dates to remember

The season begins on November 7. The meeting with Santa Claus at Disney Clothiers on Main Street, U.S.A., and Minnie’s new musical celebration with Mrs. Claus at the Castle Theatre begin on November 14. If these two new offerings are priorities for you, plan a visit from that date onward.

Two musical events in Arendelle

The World of Frozen will take on decorations inspired by Nordic traditions. Its Christmas programme will feature two activities:

• Arendelle Christmas Choir: about fifteen minutes with Olaf and a choir, joined by Anna and Elsa. Several performances are scheduled throughout the day.
• Unwrap the Magic of Christmas with Anna and Elsa: about seven minutes on Arendelle Bay, with the queens in winter outfits. Several showings are announced, including in the late afternoon.

Oaken, Mossie and Kristoff are also among the announced character encounters in the village. Their presence will vary with the day’s schedule. For a break, seasonal food offerings and souvenirs from Arendelle Boutique will round out the visit.

At Disneyland Park, the parade and new shows

Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade will return to Main Street. At Videopolis, Let’s Sing Christmas! will bring together Mickey, Minnie and their friends. Minnie and Mrs. Claus’s new event at the Castle Theatre will complete the line-up from November 14.

For character encounters, Stitch is announced at Videopolis, Jack Skellington at Critter Corral and the Disney Princesses on Central Plaza. For Jack, access is through a virtual queue in the Disneyland Paris app, subject to availability. Santa Claus will welcome visitors at Disney Clothiers, his new address on Main Street.

How to plan your day between the two parks

With one day, choose your favourite events first: the parade and Christmas classics, or Arendelle’s new celebrations. If you plan to visit both parks, leave some time between shows instead of filling every hour. Check the app for the precise performance times for your visit date.

The Disney Parks Blog also announces Gourmet Chalets in both parks and festive decorations at the Disney Hotels. A meal break can therefore be part of the visit, without adding another show to the list.

And what about December 31?

Both parks will have their own New Year’s Eve celebrations. At Disneyland Park, a fireworks display is planned for midnight above the castle. At Disney Adventure World, festivities will include a drone and pyrotechnic show above the World of Frozen, with drones if the weather permits.
