Celebrate the Holidays on November 15th through January 6th at the Disneyland Resort
The holidays are a time for cherished traditions and heartwarming moments with loved ones. Disneyland Resort embodies the spirit of the season, offering a magical experience for families everywhere.
As you plan your holiday getaway, mark your calendars for the enchanting Holidays at Disneyland Resort, running from November 15, 2024, to January 6, 2025. This special time at The Happiest Place on Earth promises to create lasting memories and brighten your holiday spirit.
This holiday season, Santa Claus and select characters will visit and create special memories with guests at the Fantasyland Theatre at Disneyland, which will also feature cookie decorating, craft making, storytelling and atmospheric music throughout the day.
Santa will also make stops for photos at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in Disney California Adventure park, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disneyland Hotel and Pixar Place Hotel through December 24. (Don’t forget to also look for Santa in the finale of “A Christmas Fantasy Parade” at Disneyland park!)
As Disney previously shared, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will debut charming new looks in Disneyland, reminiscent of writing warm letters to loved ones during the holidays. Also keep an eye out on Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure and throughout Disneyland for characters making holiday appearances.
From November 22, 2024 through January 1, 2025, the Chip and Dale’s Ornament Trail pursuit will debut at Downtown Disney District, where you can search for special ornaments hidden among the holiday trees and shining lights adorning the district.
You’ll be able to purchase an activity map at select shopping locations in Downtown Disney and the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort and redeem it for a collectible holiday keepsake at World of Disney or Disney’s Pin Traders.
You will also be able to enjoy dozens of limited-time, holiday-themed food and beverages throughout Disneyland Resort. Among the novelties that will be available is the returning Holiday stainless steel tumbler.
Beginning November 19, “Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates the Holidays!” will delight guests at Disneyland Hotel and, for the first time, Mickey’s Holiday Pajama Party breakfast and brunch at Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will serve holiday-themed meals, accompanied by seasonal décor and select characters donning new pajamas. Reservations will be available on Disneyland.com at a later date.
With new holiday merchandise to shop like the Mickey Mouse Family Christmas, Holiday Red and Snowman collections, you’ll find gifts for everyone on your list (or yourself!).

Bookable experiences at Tenaya Stone Spa will bring relaxing holiday comfort, such as the Underneath the Tree Signature Massage and Warmth of Holiday Foot Treatment. And for those wanting to extend their stay in the holiday magic, staying at the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort is a great way to do so, as they are just steps away from both theme parks and the Downtown Disney District.
One very special Disney holiday tradition is watching “snow” fall from above and fireworks fill the air during the “Believe…In Holiday Magic” nighttime spectacular, which will perform nightly at Disneyland! And as an additional wintry treat every night, you’ll also experience “snowfall” along the Rivers of America, outside of “it’s a small world” Holiday, on Main Street, U.S.A., and the west end of Downtown Disney.
In Disney California Adventure, hundreds of fountains dance to festive music and shimmering “snowflakes” fill Paradise Bay during the nighttime spectacular “World of Color – Season of Light” presented by Pandora Jewelry.
