Christmas, with a dusting of Disney magic
This Christmas, Disneyland Paris has everything you might expect from a Disney holiday celebration, and so much more. Crisp winter days lit up by shows, parades and seasonal atmosphere, warmed by all the favourite characters in their most festive garb and made truly enchanting come nightfall with a unique version of Disney Dreams! nighttime spectacular.
Disney's Enchanted Christmas is without doubt one of the best times of the year to experience Disneyland Paris. The days might be shorter (and colder!) here in Marne-la-Vallée, but lavish decorations, Disney Characters and the biggest entertainment programme of the entire year make this the busiest time at the resort year after year and ensure the days are always merry and bright.
It all begins with some turn-of-the-century charm as Main Street, U.S.A. goes all-out for the "holidays" with a truly giant Christmas Tree and frequest snow showers guaranteed. Throughout each day, unique festive character meet 'n' greets — and of course an encounter with Santa Claus himself — mix with wonderful festive shows such as this summer's returning guest favourite Frozen Sing-along, featuring Anna, Elsa and Olaf in a wintry interactive stage show.
Each night, the tree lighting ceremony of Mickey's Magical Christmas Lights will warm your spirit. After a day — or two, or more — taking in all these winter treats, probably the best Christmas experience this side of Lapland, your wishlist might already be fulfilled...
Disney's Enchanted Christmas will return from mid-November 2018 to early January 2019. Bookings are already open, with the best availability the earlier you book.

Special parade, several times daily on the Parade Route
Disney's Christmas Parade
Christmas season now celebrates its very own parade with unique floats, costumes and an irresistibly joyous rhythm.
For many years marked just by an extra float at the end of the regular daily parade, several years of smart investment have seen Christmas spawn its very own separate parade. Consisting six brilliantly decorated, bright floats with a plethora of characters and some of the best parade dance units and costumes of the year, this is not be missed — fantastic, then, that it happens twice daily!
Even better, it's now also in addition to — rather than replacing — the regular Disney Magic on Parade!, so you get to see two top-quality Disney parades in one park.
• Two performances daily on the Disneyland Park Parade Route
Nightly tree lighting ceremony at Town Square
Mickey's Magical Christmas Lights
Santa Claus is comin' to town for the most magical Christmas Tree illumination you'll see this holiday season, hosted by Mickey Mouse.
The Christmas Tree lighting ceremony has become a tradition at Disneyland Paris since its earliest years, going through numerous revisions and guises to this newly refreshed edition, likely to be considered one of the best yet. Simplified with just Mickey and Minnie appearing with several additional performers on a new elevated stage float in front of the tree, there's still time for a "Jingle Bells" sing-along before Santa Claus arrives and the magic of the tree lighting begins.
First installed for the 2013 season, the new 24-metre high Christmas Tree is a wonder to behold — towering over the park, dotted with 1,000 beautiful ornaments and lit, in spectacular fashion as snow tumbles from overhead, by colour-changing LED lanterns.
This is a popular event with limited space to get close to the stage, so arrive early. On very busy days, there may be two performances per evening!
Sing-along stage show at The Chaparral Theater
Frozen Sing-along
A storm in the mountains threatens to disrupt Anna's surprise for Elsa at the Arendelle winter festival. Can you raise your singing voice to save the show?
Fresh from its fully-expected success during this summer's Frozen Summer Fun season, Frozen Sing-along again provides the park's Christmas season with a stage show that has been sorely missing for several years. Though the set-up is simplistic and the interactive format might not suit everyone, it is nevertheless a well-produced spectacle that combines the best songs of the 2013 film with a chance to see its stars for real on stage.
Children will be captivated for the entire 20 minutes — and by the final moments, as Elsa emerges from the beautiful snowy stage backdrop to flurries of snow and the hit "Let It Go", even the most frosty adult will be moved, too.
Six performances daily.
