Seasons greetings! The holidays kick off at the Disneyland Resort next Friday, November 15th, and run through January 6th 2025. Walt’s original little park is already the happiest place to be, but there’s an added layer of magic and charm once the holiday decor crops up, the characters are suddenly dressed in their Christmas best, live bands play jolly tunes, and themed activities and entertainment are added to the resort’s daily schedules.
Today, Disneyland Resort announced two all-new shows debuting this holiday season as part of Disney California Adventure’s Festival of Holidays:
- “A Musical Christmas with Mariachi Alegría de Disneyland & Miguel!” features heartfelt stories, timeless songs and an appearance by Miguel from Pixar Animation Studios’ “Coco.”
- “Mirabel’s Gifts of the Season” brings guests together to sing along to the beloved songs from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” in a heartfelt musical presentation.
An expanded rotation of live entertainment throughout Disney California Adventure will bring a variety of high-energy seasonal fun each day with an extensive range of genres; including mariachi, jazz, klezmer, Latin pop, fusion, reggae, polka and more.
And new this year at Disneyland Park, guests will be able to meet Santa Claus and select Disney characters at “Holiday Fun with Santa and Friends!” at the Fantasyland Theatre.
Additional entertainment highlights for the holiday season include:
- “World of Color – Season of Light” at Disney California Adventure Park
- “A Christmas Fantasy Parade” at Disneyland Park
- Live music and nightly “snowfall” at Downtown Disney LIVE! stage and lawn
- Holiday caroling on select days at the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort
