Christmas at Disneyland Paris is about to get a whole lot colder.
Disneyland Paris has revealed new details for Disney Enchanted Christmas 2026, running from November 7, 2026 through January 6, 2027, and this year’s celebration is expanding in a major way.
For the first time, holiday festivities won’t be confined primarily to Disneyland Park.
The newly transformed Disney Adventure World will join the celebration through World of Frozen, where Arendelle will celebrate its very first Christmas with Scandinavian-inspired decorations, snow, new entertainment, seasonal food, and Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff.
Meanwhile, Disneyland Park’s familiar holiday traditions are returning, including Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade, Let’s Sing Christmas!, the enormous Main Street Christmas tree, Disney Characters in holiday costumes, and Santa Claus. And Disney has a few completely new surprises planned, too.
World of Frozen only opened at Disney Adventure World earlier this year, making 2026 the first opportunity for guests to experience Arendelle during the Christmas season.
Disney is leaning heavily into the land’s Scandinavian inspiration for the transformation. Christmas ornaments inspired by traditional Nordic craftsmanship will decorate the colorful village, while a Christmas tree will greet guests at the entrance to World of Frozen.
And yes, it’s going to snow in Arendelle.
Several times throughout the day, guests can catch The Arendelle Carolers, a new approximately 15-minute musical experience at the foot of North Mountain.
Olaf will lead a Christmas carol choir before Queen Anna and Queen Elsa arrive to join the celebration. Music from Olaf’s Frozen Adventure will be incorporated into the show, including familiar songs like “Ring in the Season” and “When We’re Together.” As the music fills the village, snow will begin falling over Arendelle.
That’s not the only new entertainment coming to the land. Guests can also head toward Arendelle Bay for Ring in the Season with Anna and Elsa, an approximately seven-minute celebration presented several times throughout the day, including a performance in the late afternoon.
Anna and Elsa will appear in new winter outfits for the celebration. The streets of Arendelle will become part of the entertainment as well, with Oaken and Mossie interacting with visitors. And Disney has confirmed another character addition for the holiday season: Kristoff will meet guests in World of Frozen for the first time.
Character appearances aren’t guaranteed, so Disney recommends checking the Disneyland Paris app during your visit for the day’s specific lineup.
World of Frozen will also receive its own seasonal food offerings inspired by flavors of the Far North, while Arendelle Boutique will carry World of Frozen merchandise alongside creations inspired by Scandinavian artisanship.
For anyone who has already visited the land since its March opening, Christmas 2026 should offer a noticeably different version of Arendelle rather than simply adding a few wreaths to the existing experience.
Disneyland Paris says seasonal food and beverages will be available throughout the parks and Disney Hotels, including offerings from the resort’s Gourmet Chalets.
Locations such as Au Chalet de la Marionnette will feature holiday specialties, while Les Chalets Gourmands will once again offer a winter-market atmosphere filled with seasonal flavors.
Christmas merchandise will be available throughout the destination, and Disney Hotels will receive their own seasonal decorations. Guests staying at select Disney Hotels can also order Christmas Boxes filled with festive souvenirs and surprises themed to their hotel.
Those boxes are available for stays with arrivals from November 5, 2026 through January 11, 2027, including Disneyland Hotel, Disney Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel, Disney Newport Bay Club, Disney Sequoia Lodge, Disney Hotel Cheyenne, Disney Hotel Santa Fe, and Disney Davy Crockett Ranch.
The Christmas season also includes December 31, and Disneyland Paris has something particularly interesting planned for New Year’s Eve. Both theme parks will hold their own New Year’s Eve celebrations.
At Disney Adventure World, parties will take place throughout the park’s different worlds before the night culminates with a drone and fireworks spectacular above World of Frozen. The show will be inspired by Frozen as well as the other worlds found throughout Disney Adventure World. Drone appearances will depend on weather conditions.
And there’s a nice surprise here when it comes to pricing.
Disney says the December 31 programming is included with valid park admission, rather than requiring a separate New Year’s Eve event ticket. The regular Disney Enchanted Christmas entertainment is similarly included with admission.
Disney Enchanted Christmas officially runs November 7, 2026 through January 6, 2027. If you’re primarily visiting for the traditional Christmas experience, Disneyland Park remains the center of the celebration, with the parade, giant tree, Main Street decorations, character experiences, and Christmas entertainment.
But 2026 is the first year where spending time in the resort’s second park becomes a meaningful part of a Christmas itinerary. Between The Arendelle Carolers, Ring in the Season with Anna and Elsa, Christmas decorations throughout World of Frozen, snowfall, seasonal food, and new character opportunities, Disney Adventure World now has its own substantial holiday lineup.
For guests trying to experience both parks and their seasonal entertainment, Disneyland Paris itself recommends at least two days for a first visit, rather than attempting to fit everything into one.
And one final planning detail: Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade is included with Disneyland Park admission, but Disneyland Paris also offers a paid reserved viewing area in limited quantities for guests who want to secure a designated viewing location.
With World of Frozen celebrating its first Christmas, 2026 is shaping up to be a noticeably bigger holiday season for Disneyland Paris than in years past.
