Walt Disney World has officially announced new details and dates for the resort’s upcoming 2025 holiday season. The festivities include Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Disney Jollywood Nights, and EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.
There’s never a bad time of the year to embark on a Disney World vacation, though certain times of year tend to be more magical than others.
Easter, Halloween, and Thanksgiving are incredibly magical times to visit places like Magic Kingdom, but Christmas remains the resort’s most popular holiday. Not only are the parks adorned in festive decor, but guests also have the opportunity to enjoy special limited-time events and experiences.
This year’s holiday party is as jam-packed as ever. Check out the new details just released by Disney down below:

From November 14 through December 31, 2025, guests can deck the halls as the Walt Disney World Resort comes to life with Christmas decor, themed food and beverage items, characters in festive outfits, special holiday entertainment, new holiday merchandise across Disney World and so much more.
During the holidays, certain attractions also get a special makeover. For Christmas, Walt Disney World’s infamous Jungle Cruise becomes Jingle Cruise, featuring all-new holiday-themed gags. Living with the Land, another Disney World classic, also gets a holiday makeover.
Dreaming of a perfect Disney Christmas? As soon as guests pass through the Magic Kingdom park gates and have a clear view of Cinderella Castle from Main Street, U.S.A., guests will realize they are in the perfect spot to check off the holiday items on their personal bucket list.
This year, guests can join “Frozen” friends from Arendelle as Olaf and over 100 of his snowgie siblings add garlands, ornaments, wreaths and more to Cinderella Castle during the “Frozen Holiday Surprise.”
With appearances from Anna, Kristoff and a magical moment from Elsa as she transforms Cinderella Castle into a shimmering crystallized palace, this show is a dazzling nighttime experience that guests won’t want to miss.
Looking to see even more magic from Elsa during the holidays? Catch her and many other Disney characters in the new“Disney Starlight” parade, debuting July 20 and available twice each night (subject to cancellation).
Please note that the parade will not be available on evenings Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but the parade will continue throughout the holiday season — after all, the cold never bothered us anyway.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights are separately ticketed events, meaning guests will need to purchase their tickets in advance. In addition to the parties, guests will also be able to meet Santa at all four theme parks through December 24.
Disney Springs will also be getting a Christmas makeover, with several activities returning later this year. Guests will be able to enjoy the Christmas Tree Stroll and Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar.
