Updates to the Disneyland Resort entertainment calendar have revealed the scheduled times for select holiday offerings, some which are different this year compared to 2024.
Holidays at Disneyland Resort
Disneyland Resort has announced many of its new and returning holiday offerings for the upcoming winter season. In one new addition, guests will be able to meet Mickey, Minnie, and their friends in holiday versions of their 70th anniversary celebration outfits.
“it’s a small world” will be temporarily unavailable from October 30 – November 13, 2025, as it is transformed into “it’s a small world” Holiday. Other returning favorites such as Disney ¡Viva Navidad! and the Mater’s Jingle Jamboree attraction overlay will be back in 2025 as well.
In one more change, World of Color – Season of Light will not return this year. Instead, World of Color Happiness! will continue performances.
A Christmas Fantasy Parade
The first schedule update includes performance times for A Christmas Fantasy Parade. As previously announced, the parade returns on November 14 and is scheduled to run through January 7, 2026 at Disneyland Park.
For 2024, A Christmas Fantasy Parade was performed twice each day it was scheduled at 2:30 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. This year, the two performance times have shifted to 2:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. This change pushes the first performance back a little more, and reduces the gap between the two runs by 20 minutes.
A Christmas Fantasy Parade features multiple Disney characters, floats, and Santa Claus. In the 2024 version of the parade, some of the performers recieved updated costumes, and a few floats were removed or exchanged.

Believe…In Holiday Magic Fireworks Sepctacular
Also returning for the holiday season in 2025 is the firework spectacular Believe…In Holiday Magic at Disneyland Park. The roughly 15-minute-long show includes fireworks, music, and incorporates twinkling lights on Sleeping Beauty Castle. The soundtrack includes “Can You Remember” performed by Kellie Coffey and Mickey Mouse Club March fanfare, and traditional holiday songs like “O Holy Night,” “Joy to the World,” and “I Have A Little Dreidel.”
Just like in 2024, Believe…In Holiday Magic will be performed at 9:30 p.m. The show will also include a magical “snowfall” at “it’s a small world” Holiday, in parts of Main Street, U.S.A. and along the Rivers of America.
