Some favorite Disney characters celebrate the holidays this year with festive new outfits at Disneyland Park and Disney ยกViva Navidad! at Disney California Adventure Park. For the first time, characters will also get into the spirit of the season at Goofyโ€™s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel.

Festive decor throughout Disneyland Resort

Dรฉcor brightens the season throughout Disneyland Resort, featuring grand Christmas trees decorated with uniquely themed ornaments in both theme parks, the Downtown Disney District, Disneyโ€™s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disneyland Hotel.

Icicles and snow-capped turrets adorn Sleeping Beautyโ€™s Winter Castle, and with a bit of Disney magic, โ€œsnowโ€ is scheduled to fall every night in select areas of Disneyland Park. โ€œSnowโ€ is also scheduled to fall in the Downtown Disney District nightly every half hour from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. between Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio and Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes starting Nov. 24 through Dec. 31.

Ornaments, lights and more embellish beloved attractions. In Disneyland, a merry boat ride on the wintry waterway of โ€œitโ€™s a small worldโ€ Holiday serenades guests with choruses of jolly tunes. In New Orleans Square, Jack Skellington from โ€œTim Burtonโ€™s The Nightmare Before Christmasโ€ has redecorated the Haunted Mansion into the frightfully festive Haunted Mansion Holiday to create a collision between Halloween and Christmas. Guests can gear up for some cheer in Disney California Adventure on Luigiโ€™s Joy to the Whirl and Materโ€™s Jingle Jamboree, which both have seasonal spins for the โ€œhaul-idays.โ€
