From the second you enter Disneyland, you’re greeted by a 60-foot-tall Christmas tree on Main Street, U.S.A., to set the holly jolly mood! With 1,800 ornaments, it’s quite the spectacle, and snapping a picture is a must-do.

Along Main Street, U.S.A., you’ll find festive wreaths and garlands all along the buildings. Plus, magical “snowfall” and colorful projections will say goodbye at night.

Once you reach the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle, the park’s signature landmark is all dressed up with snowy, icicle-covered awnings draped with festive garlands.

The holidays are here!

The return of Haunted Mansion Holiday adds some not-so-subtle nods to The Nightmare Before Christmas, thanks to extra decorations placed by the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington!

The nightly lighting at dusk is a Disneyland Resort tradition, and after that, you can catch a special light projection show every 30 minutes. Over 300,000 lights adorn the ride, so it’s a must-see show!

And, of course, the Holiday Tree on Buena Vista Street takes center stage. It twinkles and glows with a nightly Christmas Tree Lighting that’s a must-see.

In Cars Land, you can enjoy yuletide makeovers of two attractions: Mater’s Jingle Jamboree and Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl! Look for touches like a snow-covered billboard at the entrance of Cars Land, a hubcap-studded tree in front of the courthouse, and more festive automotive decorations along Route 66!
