As you can see, the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort are more spectacular than ever before. Here are some highlights from our video that showcase everything you have to see at night during the most wonderful time of year.

The famous Disneyland castle that we all know and love is even more magical during the holiday season. Here, you can find a special enchantment ceremony that occurs one or two times per night throughout the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort. However, you can see the castle shining all night long with its thousands of icicle lights and festive décor.

See the castle come to life in all its winter splendor:

• Twice each night November 14, 2025 - January 7, 2026
• 7:30 pm
• 8:30 pm

“it’s a small world” gets a jolly makeover and transforms into a holiday spectacle during the celebration. At night, this attraction is illuminated with thousands of colorful lights. They do a lighting ceremony each evening to see the attraction come to life. If you can’t catch it, at least be sure to walk by. Plus, take advantage of Lightning Lane for this attraction as well.

Watch as “it’s a small world” Holiday lights up each evening:

• Lights turn on once each night and remain on all evening until closing
• November 14, 2025 - January 7, 2026
• 5:00 pm

Up to three times a night, you can catch the snowfall on Rivers of America in Frontierland. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy a Jazz band playing on the water while snow gently falls to the classic Christmas tune, “I’m Dreaming of A White Christmas.”

There are also other locations where snow falls each night so be on the lookout no matter where you roam at Disneyland.

The quaint town of Radiator Springs celebrates the holidays with festive décor, music and more. At night, Radiator Springs becomes illuminated with bright colors that dazzle all night long. If you can, try to get a Lightning Lane for Radiator Springs Racers with a nighttime return. By going at night, you’ll be able to experience this attraction like never before.

Note: Season of Light will not be shown during the 2025/2026 Holiday Season. Instead, enjoy the 70th Anniversary spectacular, World of Color Happiness!

In our opinion, this is one of the best versions of World of Color ever. You’ll be able to enjoy tales of friendship, love and joy incorporated with some of your favorite holiday songs. Since this is a popular show, you’ll want to get a Virtual Queue to view this incredible show.

Get a spot in front of the castle or on Main Street, U.S.A for a holiday fireworks spectacular that ends in a magical snowfall. This is a show that you and your family won’t want to miss. Plus, there is no better way to end a day at the Disneyland Resort during the holidays!

Watch the night sky come alive:

• November 14, 2025 - January 7, 2026
• 9:30 pm
