Disneyland Paris is taking its Christmas celebrations to a whole new level in 2026, with World of Frozen set to celebrate its first-ever festive season.
Christmas is coming to Disneyland Paris, and this year there is even more reason to make the trip.
Running from 7 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, Disney Enchanted Christmas will bring festive magic to both parks, with Disneyland Park continuing its much-loved Christmas traditions while World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World celebrates its first Christmas in Arendelle.
Inspired by Scandinavian Christmas traditions, the new seasonal experience will transform the kingdom of Arendelle with Nordic decorations, festive entertainment and appearances from Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff.
Christmas Comes to World of Frozen for the First Time!
Just months after the opening of Disney Adventure World, guests will be able to experience the first Christmas celebration at World of Frozen.
The village of Arendelle will be transformed with colourful Nordic-inspired decorations, traditional Scandinavian influences and a Christmas tree at the entrance to World of Frozen.
Anna, Elsa and Olaf will welcome visitors into the festive setting, while Kristoff will also join the celebrations throughout the village.
One of the highlights will be The Arendelle Carolers, a roughly 15-minute musical celebration taking place several times throughout the day.
Led by Olaf and a Christmas choir, the experience will feature songs from Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, including “Ring in the Season” and “When We’re Together”, before Anna and Elsa arrive to join the festivities.
Snow will even fall across Arendelle village, creating a suitably magical Christmas moment.
Guests can also head to Arendelle Bay for Ring in the Season with Anna and Elsa, a seven-minute musical celebration featuring the two queens in brand-new winter outfits.

The Christmas experience won’t stop at decorations and entertainment.
Visitors will be able to encounter characters throughout the village, including Oaken, Mossie and Kristoff, who will be making his first appearance as part of these festive celebrations.
There will also be seasonal food and drink inspired by the flavours of the Far North, alongside Christmas shopping at Arendelle Boutique, where guests can pick up exclusive World of Frozen merchandise and Scandinavian-inspired creations.
For fans of Disney’s Frozen, it could make Christmas 2026 one of the best times to visit the new land.
Disneyland Park Gets Its Own Christmas Makeover
While World of Frozen gets its first festive season, Disneyland Park will continue its established Christmas traditions.
Main Street, U.S.A. will once again be transformed with sparkling decorations and a 24-metre-high Christmas tree, creating one of the resort’s most recognisable festive scenes.
The ever-popular Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade will also return, featuring Mickey and his friends, Disney Princesses and Santa Claus in festive outfits.
The parade’s illuminated floats will travel through the park accompanied by upbeat Christmas music and thousands of twinkling lights.
Elsewhere, guests can meet Disney Characters in their holiday outfits, including Stitch in his Christmas attire, while Santa Claus will have a new home inside Disney Clothiers on Main Street, U.S.A.
New Christmas Entertainment for 2026
There will be plenty of opportunities to get into the festive spirit across Disneyland Park.
Minnie Mouse and Mrs. Claus will appear at Castle Stage for a brand-new musical celebration featuring original Christmas songs.
Meanwhile, Let’s Sing Christmas! will take over Videopolis Theatre, with Mickey, Minnie and friends performing classic festive favourites including Jingle Bells and Little Santa Claus.
Together with Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade and the new World of Frozen celebrations, there will be plenty for families to see and do throughout the Christmas season.
Disneyland Paris New Year’s Eve 2026!
Christmas celebrations will continue all the way through to the New Year, with both Disney Parks hosting their own New Year’s Eve Party on 31 December 2026.
At Disney Adventure World, guests can enjoy celebrations across the park before a spectacular drones and fireworks show above World of Frozen, themed around Frozen and the other worlds of the park.
Over at Disneyland Park, Disney Characters will join DJ parties before a special fireworks display illuminates the sky above Sleeping Beauty Castle at midnight.
With two different celebrations taking place simultaneously, visitors will have to decide where they want to welcome 2027.
