The holiday festivities will run from Nov. 13 through Jan. 6, 2027.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends will greet visitors at Disneyland Park in new outfits inspired by winter alpine gatherings and holiday travel, according to park officials.

And Santa Claus will greet guests at a new spot from Nov. 13 through Dec. 24 at Mickey's Toontown Trolley Barn near Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin in Disneyland Park. He will also appear at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in Disney California Adventure Park.

"World of Color — Season of Light" will return to Disney California Adventure, combining scenes from Disney features including Beauty and the Beast and Inside Out with seasonal music, officials said.

At Disneyland Park, "A Christmas Fantasy Parade" will return to Main Street, U.S.A., featuring Disney characters, toy soldiers, dancing reindeer, and gingerbread cookies. The nighttime "Believe...in Holiday Magic" display will feature fireworks and simulated snowfall.

Seasonal overlays will return to several rides, including Haunted Mansion Holiday and "it's a small world" Holiday at Disneyland Park. Over in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure, Mater's Jingle Jamboree and Luigi's Joy to the Whirl will also receive holiday makeovers.

Sleeping Beauty Castle will turn into Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle, adorned with icicles, wreaths, and holiday trimmings. More than 80,000 lights will illuminate the structure each evening during Wintertime Enchantment, accompanied by snowfall along Main Street, U.S.A., and other park areas, officials said.

Disney Festival of Holidays will return to Disney California Adventure starting Nov. 13, offering music, dance performances, seasonal food, and activities highlighting various holiday traditions.

Entertainment will feature the Holiday Toy Drummers and the "Mickey's Happy Holidays" cavalcade. On select days, "Mirabel's Gifts of the Season" and "A Musical Christmas with Mariachi Alegría de Disneyland & Miguel!" will also take place.

Disney Viva Navidad! will return with Latin American-inspired entertainment, music, and food.

Downtown Disney District will feature festive decorations, seasonal dishes, and live entertainment, including nightly simulated snowfall and performances at the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage. The Chip and Dale's Ornament Trail scavenger hunt will also return.

The Mickey Mouse Family Christmas Collection

Santa Mickey and Minnie are coming to town as the main characters for the Disney Store’s 2026 Christmas collection. The holly jolly red, white, and green motifs on this year’s family pajamas are a joy to behold. With sizes ranging from baby to young at heart, consider the spirit of Christmas raised.

Adults can pick from a holiday hooded onesie pajama with Mickey ears ($69.99), holiday lounge pants ($44.99), and a 2-piece sleep set for women ($69.99). While the little ones can get cozy in a matching holiday hooded one-piece ($30.99), the 2-piece PJ Pals set ($26.99) or the Santa Mickey and Minnie Mouse Holiday nightshirt for girls ($26.99) will look so sweet on Christmas morning. Even the smallest member of the family can rest in a stretchy sleeper for baby ($17.99).

Here’s a look at some of the festive fashion and delightfully Disney decor that will be dropping later this month, which we think would be great not only for at-home celebrations but also for Disney holiday trips around the resort hotels and campgrounds at Walt Disney World’s property.

Plus, there are so many home goods that evoke the magic of Disney, effortlessly tying the living room winter vision together with exciting features. The Mickey Mouse and Friends Christmas Train Set (By Lionel, $99.99) brings that classic choo-choo-under-the-tree nostalgia. And of course, there’s a luminous Tinkerbell star to top it all off.

And for fun little touches around the house, there’s the new Duckalooz Mickey and Minnie Mouse holiday rubber duck set ($9.99) and Disney Store’s “The Nutcracker” Holiday 2026 plush duo with Mickey and Minnie donning Nutcracker-inspired looks. Each plush is 17 inches and will cost $29.99 individually.

The Disney Store will release the Mickey Mouse Family Christmas Collection on September 14.
