Christmas at Disneyland Paris 2026: Dates, Prices, Tickets

Christmas 2026 dates: a 61-day season

The season calendar, date by date

61 days €63 to €150 per adult ticket 4.6 °C in December (1961-1990 average) 7 November to 6 January

The Disney Enchanted Christmas season starts on Saturday 7 November 2026 and ends on Wednesday 6 January 2027. Six independent sources agree on these two dates, including Sortiraparis and Onivapp. A single source, Univers-Vacances, announces 8 November for the opening. We keep 7 November: six sources give it, and Univers-Vacances is also one of our price sources. Decorations are up from opening day, and the 24-metre tree in Town Square is lit several times a day.

The season splits into two phases for crowds. According to Mycastleclub, late November and early January are calmer, while DLP Tips and Mycastleclub place the peak between Christmas and New Year. Price follows the date above all: €63 on 6 January, €107 on 24 December, €121 on 25 December and €150 on 31 December for an adult on one park (Onivapp, prices checked 11 October 2026).

6 January 2027 is the last day of the season, and one of the cheapest: €63 for an adult on one park, according to Onivapp. It is worth considering if you want a calmer, cheaper end to the season.

Opening on 24 and 25 December is not confirmed. Leprog says the park is open every day, but Mycastleclub and Univers-Vacances do not publish hours for those days: check the official app before buying a ticket for either date.

• Season from Saturday 7 November 2026 to Wednesday 6 January 2027, 61 days.
• First Christmas season in the World of Frozen land, open since 29 March 2026.
• Seasonal entertainment included in the dated ticket; reserved parade viewing spots remain paid.
• Christmas Wishes Night reserved for Passholders on 20 November 2026.

Pixidia tip: A dated ticket is booked day by day. Choose your date before you look at accommodation: the price of the same ticket can more than double between late November and New Year’s Eve.

If you would rather not take the RER with luggage or small children, a private transfer exists. It is covered in the Getting there, transport and parking section. Neither its price nor its availability on season dates was checked for this article: check them on the Viator listing.

Disneyland Park: parade, tree and shows

Main Street, Town Square and the castle

Parade twice a day 24 m tree Indoor shows Virtual queue meet and greets

The parade, « Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade », runs along Main Street, U.S.A. and around the castle. It passes twice a day, according to Parc-attraction-loisirs and Leprog. Mickey, Minnie, the Princesses and, according to some sources, Santa Claus take part, but the lineup changes from one pass to the next. No source has published times for December 2026. For November, Mycastleclub, updated on 20 October 2026, lists 3:55 pm and 5:45 pm on most days, and 2:20 pm and 4:00 pm on 17, 19 and 26 November. These are the only times published so far, and they do not apply to December.

The Town Square tree is 24 metres tall and carries more than 1,000 ornaments, according to Mycastleclub. It is lit several times a day, with a choir and characters. A night ceremony is announced from 21 November 2026 by Univers-Vacances and Mycastleclub. One source also says « more than 20 metres » in one passage: we keep 24 metres, the figure most often given.

Shows fill the rest of the day. « Let’s Sing Christmas! » (in French, « Chantons Noël ! ») plays at the Videopolis, in Discoveryland, with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Clarabelle. A visitor from January 2026 describes it as a seated indoor show, performed three or four times a day, and advises arriving 30 minutes early, or 45 minutes during the holidays. A new show with Minnie and Mother Christmas is due at the Castle Stage from 14 November 2026, according to Sortiraparis and Univers-Vacances. Its title is not given in the pages we read.

Meet-and-greets with the most popular characters, such as Stitch, Jack Skellington or Santa Claus, are booked through a virtual queue. The same visitor says slots open around 9:45 am and 2 pm, and can go in under a minute. Santa Claus receives visitors until 25 December 2026, according to DLP Tips and Univers-Vacances. Sources disagree on where he is: Sortiraparis places him at Disney Clothiers on Main Street, Mycastleclub at Arcade Beta. Check in the official app on the day of your visit.

The same visitor calls the season « a real plus », with rich décor on Town Square and Main Street. He adds that the castle gets no Christmas décor. The snow falling on Main Street is artificial and scheduled several times a day, according to Sortiraparis and Never Ending Voyage: it is not the natural snow you might imagine.

On the food side, the 2025-2026 « Hiver Gourmand » offered five chalets in Fantasyland, near It’s a Small World, and one chalet on Place Rémy at Walt Disney Studios, according to Sortiraparis. No menu or price is confirmed for the 2026-2027 season.

• Parade on Main Street, U.S.A., two passes a day; times published for November only.
• 24-metre tree in Town Square, night ceremony from 21 November 2026.
• « Let’s Sing Christmas! » at the Videopolis, indoors, a good bet in cold or wet weather.
• Santa Claus until 25 December 2026, location to check in the app.

Pixidia tip: With no December times published, open the official app on the morning of your visit to check the day’s schedule, then find the parade route before you take a spot. Reserved viewing spots are paid and limited in number.

World of Frozen: the first Christmas season at Disney Adventure World

Arendelle, the Frozen land

Disney Adventure World ticket or 2 parks Choir of about 15 minutes Show of about 7 minutes

The land, open since 29 March 2026, hosts the Christmas season for the first time. The décor draws on Scandinavian themes: ornaments inspired by Nordic craft, a large illuminated tree at the entrance to the land, and an Arendelle shop with souvenirs and crafts from the far north. Sources speak of a « fjord » or a bay; we use « Arendelle Bay », the name used on the pages we consulted.

The Arendelle Christmas Choir lasts about 15 minutes, with Olaf and a choir, and is performed several times a day. Anna and Elsa then join the choir. The songs come from Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, « The Holiday Season » and « When We’re Together », according to Sortiraparis.

The show « Ring in the Season with Anna and Elsa » lasts about 7 minutes on Arendelle Bay. It plays several times a day, mostly in late afternoon, and the two queens wear new winter outfits. The meet-and-greets mentioned in the sources involve Oaken, Mossie and Kristoff, who makes his first appearance in the park.

This point weighs on the budget. A one-park ticket only admits you to the park you choose. Entry to the Arendelle land requires a valid Disney Adventure World ticket or a two-park ticket, according to Ulysse and Paristickets. We could not verify this rule on the official site: it is the first thing to confirm before buying anything.

For the land’s opening and its attractions outside the season, our complete guide to World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World covers the park. This article focuses on what Christmas changes.

• Scandinavian Christmas décor, large illuminated tree at the land entrance, Arendelle shop.
• Arendelle Christmas Choir with Olaf, about 15 minutes, several times a day.
• Show with Anna and Elsa on Arendelle Bay, mostly in late afternoon.

Pixidia tip: If you only want one park, choose it carefully. A Disneyland Park ticket alone does not open Arendelle: the two-park ticket costs about €35 more per adult in December (Onivapp). Compare that with what you would do in the land.

New Year’s Eve 2026 at Disneyland Paris

31 December is the most expensive day of the season: €150 for an adult one-park ticket and €185 for two parks, according to the Onivapp price check of 11 October 2026. A dated ticket is required for that day, and the festivities are presented as included in a valid ticket, according to Sortiraparis and Leprog.

At Disneyland Park, Leprog describes musical, dancing celebrations with the characters. It also mentions a fireworks display at midnight above the castle, the only source to give a time. Parc-attraction-loisirs calls it a « new » fireworks display. The principle is confirmed by several sources.

In Disney Adventure World, a drone and pyrotechnics show is planned above World of Frozen. It depends on the weather. Do not build your whole evening around it: keep a backup plan ready in the park where you are.

Closing times for 31 December 2026 are not published. Leprog gives « 9:30 am to 11 pm » for the season without specifying the 31st. Parc-attraction-loisirs says the park closes « much later » that night. For a rough idea, the 2025 season, according to ooparc and Parc-attraction-loisirs, had Disneyland open until 1 am and Walt Disney Studios until 10 pm. That benchmark is from the previous year: use it to picture a long evening, not to plan your day.

Outside the park, Disney Village stays open without a park ticket, with restaurants, shops and a fuller year-end programme than the rest of the season. A 2026 programme of concerts and DJ sets is announced, with no specific date in the sources we read and no official confirmation; the evenings of 31 December 2025 serve as a reference. For New Year’s Eve dinners, tables are booked several months ahead, according to Never Ending Voyage.

Tickets and indicative prices: why the amount changes with the date

No official price list could be read: the Disneyland Paris site returned a 403 error to our research tool. The only detailed, dated price list comes from a third-party site, Onivapp, with prices checked on 11 October 2026. The table below gives the adult fare, date by date.

Source: Onivapp, Disney Enchanted Christmas 2026, prices checked 11 October 2026 (page consulted 21 October 2026). In the Onivapp grid, « – » means « not checked by Onivapp », without saying whether the fare is available. Indicative, dynamic and unofficial prices.

Three things explain the gap. First, the dated ticket uses dynamic pricing, in place since November 2024: the price moves with demand and forecasts, as Parc-attraction-loisirs explained in its article of 19 November 2024. Next, the two-park ticket costs about €35 more than a one-park ticket, per adult in December, according to Onivapp and Univers-Vacances. The sources do not say which parks the « One park » and « Two parks » columns refer to: check the park name on your ticket before buying. Last, children aged 3 to 11 pay €59 on 6 January and €140 on 31 December for one park, again according to Onivapp, and children under 3 get in free.

Leprog gives a wider range: €58 to €150 for an adult on one park, and €83 to €175 for two parks. These bounds cover the whole season and say nothing about the date. The €58 or €63 floor is a particular day, not a guarantee.

A few other options appear in the sources. The Bon Plan dated ticket is shown at €51 in a banner on Parc-attraction-loisirs, but its conditions are not detailed in the pages we read. According to one description not tied to a specific page, it is non-refundable, valid on certain days only, must be bought 60 to 90 days ahead and is sold online only: confirm on the official site. The Premier Access option, which costs extra, starts at €120 per person according to Ulysse. Reserved parade viewing spots are also paid, in limited numbers, with no published price.

How to buy is still contradictory. According to resellers, the dated ticket is sold online: Ulysse writes that it is sold « online only, not at the ticket office » (February 2026). Leprog says the opposite, that you must « book at the ticket office by choosing your date ». This needs settling on the official site before you buy, as a text published before dynamic pricing may be out of date.

One rule seems more stable: according to Univers-Vacances, dated tickets can be changed or cancelled free of charge up to three days before the visit. That information comes from a third-party site: check it in the sales terms.

• One dated ticket per day of visit, for the park you choose or for two parks.
• Children under 3 get in free; ages 3 to 11 pay.
• Premier Access from €120 per person, Bon Plan dated ticket shown at €51.

Getting there, transport and parking

The most direct option is the RER A, which serves Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy – Parc Disneyland station. Our article on a Christmas day at the park, updated 18 October 2026, estimates the trip at 40 to 50 minutes from central Paris. This is an estimate, not cross-checked against an external source. The fare published by Cometoparis for a full-price Île-de-France ticket, Zone 1 to Chessy, is €7.60, and €3.85 for children aged 4 to 10. That fare comes from a reseller: we have not confirmed it with Île-de-France Mobilités. A 2019 blog still gives €5, a figure that is no longer current.

The private transfer shown in the first card of this guide meets a need for comfort and luggage. Its price was not checked in our research: see the Viator listing, and compare it with the RER at €7.60 per adult according to a reseller. It does not replace the park ticket. The sources we read do not say where the transfer departs from: check the Viator listing before booking.

TGV INOUI and OUIGO also serve Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy, with services from Lille. A journey planner places the station about 200 metres from the park, not right at its entrance. The timetables we checked date from summer 2026: they do not apply to December, so check them for your travel date.

By car, visitor parking costs €30 per day for a vehicle under 2 metres, according to Onivapp and Paristickets. Lockers rent for between €5 and €15. A free shuttle is said to connect most hotels with the parks, but it appears in only one search extract: check it before you count on it.

Source: see the « Source » column. Transport and parking rates checked on 21 October 2026; the RER fare is a reseller’s, to be confirmed with Île-de-France Mobilités.

Weather and cold: planning a December visit

Marne-la-Vallée has a climate close to Paris’s, but outdoors, cold and rain weigh more than temperature. The normals for the Paris-Le Bourget station, calculated over 1961-1990 and cited from Météo-France by Wikipedia, give an average of 4.6 °C for December, an average high of 7.0 °C and a record of 17.2 °C. These normals are old and the station is outside the park, but they remain the most accessible official reference.

Statistics sites give similar values: 5.2 °C on average in Paris for December, with 78 mm of rain according to Climatsetvoyages, and about 6 °C for Marne-la-Vallée, with 122 mm according to Ou-et-quand. These are statistical models, not measurements: they give an order of magnitude, not a forecast.

One visitor’s experience was different. A stay in early January 2026 recorded a cold spell at −5 °C, real snow on top of the artificial snow, and the cancellation of several outdoor activities. Such an episode cannot be forecast, but it shows that outdoor shows and meet-and-greets can be suspended. Indoor shows such as the Videopolis or the Castle Stage remain the safe bets if the weather turns.

For clothing, rain is more likely than snow, so waterproof shoes matter more than a heavy coat. The tips we found suggest layers, gloves, a hat and a scarf, plus warm breaks during the day.

Crowds: which days to pick

The qualitative crowd calendar from DLP Tips, updated 8 September 2026, sets out the periods. Mid-November on weekdays is quiet, late November and early December on weekdays are moderate, December weekends are busy, Christmas school holidays are very busy, and the stretch from Christmas to New Year peaks. Mycastleclub, updated 20 October 2026, says the same: crowds build from mid-December, and late November and early January are calmer.

A visitor from January 2026 confirms it: better to avoid weekends and school holidays. Even so, he found it « not as quiet as you might imagine » for early January.

For a specific December day, the calendar is harder to read. Parkqueuetimes, which lists the 61 days of the season, shows no crowd forecast for 20 to 31 December. If you are visiting on 22 December, our article a Christmas day at Disneyland Park walks through the day hour by hour. This article helps you choose the date and ticket, not the day’s schedule. For the wider year-end holiday context, our guide Christmas holidays in France 2026-2027: where to go compares destinations.

Passholders, reserved evenings and accommodation

A Disneyland Pass holders’ evening, Christmas Wishes Night, takes place on 20 November 2026 at Disneyland Park. Sales opened on 29 September 2026, according to Disney Dining. No price is published on any of the pages we read, most of which predate the opening of sales. For 2025, the equivalent Christmas Ball was €59 according to Mycastleclub: treat that as a benchmark, not a 2026 price. Eligibility conditions are not detailed: check the communications reserved for Passholders.

On accommodation, aggregators quote the Disneyland Hotel from €447 per person, based on two adults, one night, two park days, breakfast and entries included. Disney’s Hotel Santa Fe starts at €235 per person on the same basis. These prices are not specific to December and cannot serve as a reference for the season. Disney Davy Crockett Ranch is advertised from about €130 per person per night for two adults and two children, according to Univers-Vacances, with no December price published. Stays around 24 and 31 December cost more than those in late November.

Disney hotel guests may enter the parks earlier, from 8:30 am according to Leprog, a detail to confirm. Christmas gift sets are paid extras for hotel guests, with no price published.

Which option for which traveller

Families with young children

Children under 3 get in free. For ages 3 to 11, a one-park ticket costs about €59 on 6 January and €140 on 31 December, according to Onivapp. Favour indoor shows and plan a warm break each afternoon, as meet-and-greets and outdoor shows can be cancelled because of snow. The Videopolis remains accessible in bad weather.

Couples or friends

To see mainly the décor, a one-park ticket is enough, ideally in November or early January. The evening can continue in Disney Village, where entry is free. If Arendelle is the draw, you need a valid Disney Adventure World ticket or a two-park ticket. A two-park ticket costs about €35 more per adult in December (Onivapp); no price has been checked for a Disney Adventure World ticket on its own.

Tight budget

The tightest budget means a late-November or 6 January date, one park, and the RER at €7.60 rather than a car at €30 a day for parking. Avoid 31 December, at €150, and also 24 and 25 December, which are above €105 according to Onivapp. The €51 Bon Plan dated ticket can be worth it if its conditions suit you: check them before you buy.

First visit

For a first time, a dated ticket for Disneyland Park lets you see the castle, the parade and Town Square. If you also want Arendelle, plan a two-park ticket and an extra day: one park is not enough to see everything. The show with Anna and Elsa mostly runs in late afternoon, a good slot for the land.

Visitors with reduced mobility

The information is contradictory. One source mentions manual wheelchairs and scooters for hire; another, updated in June 2026, says the park no longer rents vehicles for people with reduced mobility. Several sources say the Priority card is requested at the welcome desk on the day of the visit, while another says you can contact the park beforehand. Tarifs.org advertises a 25% reduction on some tickets for a visitor with a disability and their companion, without official confirmation. Sensory guides are available at the welcome desk and in the app, and induction loops are fitted to several indoor shows. Confirm these points with the park before you go.

What other guides don’t tell you

Three points, taken from dated sources, are missing from some Christmas guides. Each one still needs confirming on the official site before you buy.

• A one-park ticket does not open Arendelle. Univers-Vacances, Onivapp, DLP Tips and Mycastleclub describe entertainment included in the standard ticket without mentioning the access restriction to the World of Frozen land. Ulysse, 2026 guide and Paristickets do mention it (both consulted 21 October 2026).
• Two guides list lower floor prices than the dated grid. Univers-Vacances (« €56 or less ») and Ulysse (« €52 », a range from February 2026). Onivapp’s dated grid runs from €63 to €150 (both consulted 21 October 2026).
• No December parade has a published time. Older guides show 2025 times without saying so. The only dated times concern November 2026: Mycastleclub, updated 20 October 2026 (consulted 21 October 2026).

Practical information before you book

Here is the list to check before you buy. What has not been published is written as such.

• Season: Saturday 7 November 2026 to Wednesday 6 January 2027.
• Ticket: dated and required; from €63 to €150 for an adult on one park depending on the date (Onivapp, 11 October 2026).
• Arendelle: Disney Adventure World ticket or two-park ticket.
• Times: November parade published; December and 31 December not published; opening on 24 and 25 December not confirmed.
• Access: RER A, Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy – Parc Disneyland station, 40 to 50 minutes from Paris (estimate).
• Parking: €30 per day for a vehicle under 2 metres.

The official Disneyland Paris website remains the reference for the day’s prices and times. We could not consult it while writing: it is the first thing to check before you buy.
