Christmas at Disney World
Walt Disney World is always a magical place, but it seems even more magical at the holidays. From seeing Santa to favorite characters dressed for the holidays, and exciting entertainment, there are so many reasons to love Walt Disney World at Christmas.
Disney is bringing 2 brand new holiday shows to Disney's Hollywood Studios. The "Frozen Holiday Surprise" returns to delight guests at the Magic Kingdom.
Although Magic Kingdom is already gorgeously decorated for Christmas, the official start of the holiday season begins on November 8, 2025, at Walt Disney World.
Last Meet and Greet
Last year, guests could meet Santa at the 75th Annual Dino Institute Holiday Party on the patio at Restaurantosaurus.
Santa will return to this location again this year, beginning November 14, 2025, through December 24, 2025.
