If you are planning a visit to Disneyland this holiday season, this is the information you need. Here is a guide to all of the holiday offerings for Disneyland Resort in 2026.
Holidays in Disneyland
Summer has only just begun. However, for travelers with plans to visit Disneyland, it may be time to start thinking about the holidays.
After all, the holidays are a very busy time of year in Disneyland. A solid plan and a curated wish list will help you to make the most of your time in the magic!
Disneyland uses decorations and ride overlays to bring the magic of the season to visitors. Music, storytelling, and thoughtful details come together to give these rides a festive perspective, sprinkled in with a perfect dash of holiday fun.
Ride Overlays
You can expect popular ride overlays to return to Disneyland in 2026. One of these is Haunted Mansion Holiday. It will pop up in time for Halloween, and it will stick around for Christmas.
Next, expect to see "it's a small world" Holiday! This beautiful overlay draws crows year after year!
Each region in the attraction celebrates the holidays in distinct ways, from the Mele Kalikimaka cheer in the South Pacific to the Feliz Navidad fun in Mexico, alongside several New Year traditions reflected throughout Europe and Asia. Even the music will have a festive twist!
Cars Land at Disney California Adventure park will also have several overlays. Mater's Junkyard Jamboree puts on its holiday best to become Mater's Jingle Jamboree! And, Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters will get in on the fun by changing into Luigi's Joy to the Whir with holiday tracks.
Holiday Decor
You will also be able to get into the spirit with plenty of holiday decorations. Be on the lookout for decor everywhere, including the tiny additions to Storybook Canal.
Be sure to check out the beautiful Christmas lights on the castle!
And of course, Sleeping Beauty Castle will shimmer with radiant lights. It all happens this holiday season in Disneyland!
