Hello, Kathryn!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney. I hope the new year has been good to you so far!
I believe you are asking about the magical holiday decorations that transform Disneyland Resort during the most festive time of year. It is truly my favorite season to visit the theme parks! The
holiday celebrations wrapped up on January 7, 2026, and I hope you had a chance to experience them. The holidays will return to "The Happiest Place on Earth" on November 18, 2026.
Did you get the chance to enjoy any of the holiday festivities this year? My family visited Disneyland toward the end of last year, and I was smiling the entire time! I love the holiday overlays on some attractions, like
Haunted Mansion Holiday,
"it's a small world" Holiday, and
Mater's Jingle Jamboree. I also snacked my way through the
Disney Festival of Holidays. The Al Pastor Mac & Cheese that was topped with tortilla crumbles and cilantro was incredible!
The good news is that there are plenty of exciting
events happening before the holidays return! The
70th Celebration continues, with the return of my favorite parade,
Paint the Night, on January 30, 2026, and
World of Color Happiness is already back! My youngest child is also thrilled to meet
Bluey later this year. Plus, the
Lunar New Year Celebration and the
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival are right around the corner!
Kathryn, I appreciate hearing from you. Don't hesitate to contact planDisney again if you have additional questions.
Magic Happens!
Jen
