Hey there, Christopher! Welcome to planDisney! I am quite excited to hear that you are thinking about a visit to Disneyland Resort during the holiday season, and possibly even over Christmas Day.
The winter holiday time at Disneyland Resort is such a special time for a visit. The
dates for the holiday season were actually just announced this past week. We now know that you will be able to experience and celebrate the holidays from November 11, 2022, through January 8, 2023. Unfortunately, we haven't heard if there will be any special-ticketed events or holiday dinners. Last year, Disney Merriest Nights debuted for a limited number of nights at Disneyland Resort, but we have not heard if this will be returning for 2022. As far as Christmas Day dinners, in years past there have been buffet options at Napa Rose at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, as well as at Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel. There also have been options at some Downtown Disney District locations, like Catal Restaurant. I recommend keeping tabs on the Disney Parks Blog, as well as the official Disneyland Resort social pages for upcoming announcements about the holidays.
We do know that the
Disney Festival of Holidays is returning and this happens to be my favorite way to eat and drink my way through the holidays. I love grabbing a Sip and Savor Pass and trying new items and returning favorites from the marketplace kiosks throughout Disney California Adventure Park.
Christopher, I hope we hear more holiday information soon. Please come back and see us again with any other questions you may have!
