Are you ready to get into the holiday festivities at Disney World? We sure are!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is running on select dates from November 7th to December 21st in the Magic Kingdom, and this after-hours event is a great time to get into the Christmas spirit with exclusive parades, shows, snacks, and character interactions. Let’s take a look at everything coming back for the 2025 season!
Character Meet-and-Greets
Disney hasn’t revealed many characters that will be returning, but we do know that Anna and Elsa will meet in Princess Fairytale Hall in their Christmas attire. From The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sally and Santa Jack will be meeting at the Town Square Theater.

Mickey and Minnie will also be in the Town Square Theater in their holiday costumes!

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade
This is one of our favorite parades, and it’s a favorite for a reason. There are toy soldiers, gingerbread men, tons of characters in holiday attire, and Santa Claus in the final float. If we’re going to a party, we always make sure we stop and watch the parade.

Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks
This nighttime spectacular is filled with all of your favorite characters and a show you have to stop to watch. There are projections, fireworks, and fun music, too.

While this show is coming back, you can always enjoy Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party for special treats and exclusive seating for the show.

Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration
Come watch this stage show as Clarabelle Cow, along with other Disney friends, sing fun songs in a spectacular show in front of the castle. If you’ve always wanted to see Clarabelle sing Mariah Carey, this is your chance to do so.

Frozen Holiday Surprise
Frozen fans are not going to want to miss this one! Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff perform in front of the castle with holiday music and their Christmas outfits.

Dance Parties
Who doesn’t want to rock out to fun music at Disney World? You can head to the Tomorrowland Rocket Tower Plaza Stage to dance with Club Tinsel or head indoors at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe for Disney Junior Jingle Jam.

Santa Meet-and-Greet
In Storybook Circus in Fantasyland, guests can meet Santa at Santa’s Christmas Carnival! This is going to be the perfect photo opportunity. You can also enjoy crafts and other Disney friends in the area.

Holiday Overlays for Attractions
While there are lots of rides open during the party, there are some specialty overlays that you’ll want to prioritize during your party. You can see Christmas colored lights and music on Space Mountain…

…enjoy fun lights at the Tomorrowland Speedway…

…spin to a light show at Mad Tea Party…

…and see a holiday-themed show at Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor.

The Jungle Cruise is also getting a temporary retheme to the Jingle Cruise. This layover is available throughout the entire holiday season, but it feels a little more special during a Christmas party.
Special Food
There will be special eats you can only get during the party! We’re thrilled to see if our favorites are returning.

Festive Merchandise
Did you really go to a Christmas party if you didn’t buy a souvenir? Special merchandise will be available for purchase exclusively during the parties, and we’re excited to see the full collection at the Emporium.

We got a sneak peek at this year’s collection, and this spirit jersey looks SO cute!

Magic Shots
Enjoy special Magic Shots from Disney PhotoPass! These are fun frames and added elements to photos taken around the parks. Visitors will also get the Memory Maker for their party.

We can’t pick a favorite part, but we’re pretty excited to experience a whole night of Christmas fun. Make sure you keep following AllEars for all the best tips and tricks for your party night.
