Whether you want indoor or outdoor festivities, magic shows, or tree-lighting ceremonies, this Disney Christmas events list has got them all!

As Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade passes by, gather along the route and wave to some familiar faces. At the end of your day head to the Cinderella Castle for Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration.
EPCOT®: International Festival of the Holidays
The EPCOT® International Festival of the Holidays is sure to be one of the best Christmas events to get you in the Christmas spirit.

Celebrate the return of Candlelight Processional beginning on November 25, 2022, this long-standing tradition of heartwarming holiday performances at America Gardens Theatre. Guests will enjoy beloved songs from Broadway and popular music performed by a celebrity narrator who travels throughout the show and interacts with guests along his journey.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom®: Merry Menagerie of winter creatures
The return of a Merry Menagerie of winter creatures realized in the form of life-size, artisan-sculpted puppets will bring Animal Kingdom® to life.
