Get ready, fellow Disney fans! Disneyland Paris is about to make history this holiday season. From November 7, 2026, to January 6, 2027, the magic of Disney Enchanted Christmas reaches new heights with the very first Christmas celebration in the heart of World of Frozen, inside Disney Adventure World. This new, sparkling experience adds an incredible layer to our cherished Disney Christmas traditions, which will, of course, continue to enchant Disneyland Park.
Just a few months after its grand opening, Disney Adventure World, our destination’s reimagined second park, invites you to discover a brand-new, shimmering atmosphere within the Kingdom of Arendelle. Imagine an ambiance inspired by Scandinavian traditions, with festive decorations and never-before-seen musical celebrations. Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff welcome everyone to World of Frozen for a Christmas like no other. It’s going to be truly special to experience this land dressed in its holiday best for the very first time!
Meanwhile, over in Disneyland Park, the timeless magic of Disney Christmas continues to captivate guests with its unmissable program and the fairytale decor that lights up Main Street, U.S.A., including the majestic 24-meter-tall Christmas tree. Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade, featuring many Disney Characters in their finest holiday attire, rolls through the park with its catchy music and thousands of sparkling lights, perfectly capturing the spirit of this enchanted season. And of course, warm encounters with Santa Claus and your favorite Disney Characters add that extra touch of magic, creating unforgettable memories.
For New Year’s Eve on December 31, both Disney Parks host their own special celebrations to ring in the new year. Expect lively festivities with Disney Characters and dazzling nighttime spectaculars! At Disney Adventure World, the New Year’s Eve party will be truly epic, with events organized across all the park’s immersive worlds. A drone and fireworks show will light up the sky above World of Frozen, themed to the beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios film and the park’s other universes. (Just a heads-up: drones are weather-dependent!) Over at Disneyland Park, Disney Characters join the fun with musical and dance parties, all leading up to a magical fireworks display over Sleeping Beauty Castle at midnight. Two unforgettable ways to end the year with a bang! The hardest part will be choosing how you want to welcome 2027!
Zoom on the First-Ever Christmas in World of Frozen
Let’s dive a bit deeper into the very first Christmas in World of Frozen. Stepping into Arendelle for the holidays, Queens Anna and Elsa, joined by Olaf, welcome travelers into an enchanting winter wonderland. Nordic traditional craftsmanship inspires the beautiful ornaments and decor. From the colorful facades of Arendelle village to the surrounding Scandinavian-influenced landscapes, every corner will shine with refined Christmas decorations, and a glowing Christmas tree will warm the entrance to World of Frozen, creating a truly festive mood. It’s like stepping right into a Christmas card!
At the foot of the North Mountain, celebrations come alive throughout the day with several musical moments. Multiple times daily, guests can enjoy Arendelle’s Christmas Choir, a fifteen-minute musical interlude featuring Olaf alongside a Christmas carol choir, before Queens Anna and Elsa join to make the moment even more magical. As songs from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen: Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, like ‘When We’re Together’ and ‘That Time of Year,’ play, snow will gently fall over Arendelle village, creating a truly suspended moment.
You can also head to Arendelle Bay, where Queens Anna and Elsa, in their stunning new winter outfits, invite everyone to ‘Unleash the Magic of Christmas with Anna and Elsa,’ a joyful seven-minute celebration offered several times a day, especially in the late afternoon.
The immersion continues in the lively streets of the village where Arendelle residents – Oaken, Mossie, and for the very first time, Kristoff – will meet guests in a friendly atmosphere. (Remember, specific Character appearances aren’t guaranteed, so check the Disneyland Paris mobile app and park info for schedules!) Throughout your exploration, you can also savor special dining options imagined for this winter celebration, featuring comforting Nordic-inspired gourmet creations. Don’t forget to visit Arendelle Boutique, which offers exclusive World of Frozen merchandise and a selection of items crafted in the spirit of Scandinavian artistry. I can’t wait to see all the new goodies!
