Magic Kingdom will light up with festive fun this holiday season at Walt Disney World. Take a look at all the offerings and entertainment, including the return of Jingle Cruise and “Frozen Holiday Surprise.”
2026 Holiday Season at Magic Kingdom
Cinderella Castle will be illuminated with holiday projections and Main Street, U.S.A. will be decorated with wreaths and lights. Of course, the park’s Christmas tree will also return to Town Square. Disney PhotoPass photographers will be on hand at these locations to take photos.
“Frozen Holiday Surprise”
The nightly “Frozen” stage show will return with Olaf and over 100 snowgies decorating Cinderella Castle. Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff join the snowman and Elsa transforms the castle into a crystallized palace. In 2025, the show returned to Magic Kingdom on November 7.
Jingle Cruise
The Jingle Cruise holiday overlay of Jungle Cruise is back with holiday-themed puns and decorations, including throughout the queue. No dates for its closure to transform for the holiday overlay have been announced just yet, but we expect it to open in early November.
Watch our POV from 2025:
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party returns with attraction overlays, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show, Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration, character meet and greets, dance parties, and complimentary food and beverage. Check out dates and details.
