If you’re searching for a Christmas gift that goes beyond wrapping paper and bows, look no further than a Disneyland Resort vacation. This isn’t just another present, it’s an experience your family will treasure forever. From the moment you walk under the Main Street garlands to the last burst of fireworks over Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle, Disneyland during the holidays is pure magic.
Check out our top reasons of what Disneyland Resort on why Disneyland is the perfect Christmas gift for your family this year!
70th Anniversary Celebration
The 2025 holiday season is also an extra special time because the resort is celebrating their 70th anniversary! There’s never been a more exciting time to visit the Happiest Place on Earth! Disneyland is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and the park is shining brighter than ever. Guests can experience limited-time décor, special merchandise, and commemorative treats honoring seven decades of Disney dreams. From nostalgic nods to opening day attractions to dazzling new experiences, this milestone celebration is the perfect backdrop for your family’s next magical vacation. After all, what better way to celebrate 70 years of Disney memories than by creating new ones together?
A Gift That Creates Memories, Not Clutter
Let’s be honest—most gifts end up tucked away in a closet or forgotten by February, but the memories made at Disneyland Resort last a lifetime. Imagine watching your kids’ faces light up as snow gently falls on Main Street, U.S.A., or sharing a churro while strolling through “it’s a small world” Holiday. These moments become the stories your family tells for years to come, and that’s a gift no toy can top.
Festive Fun for Everyone
The holidays at Disneyland Resort bring something special for every age. At Disneyland Park, the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle glimmers with icy lights and festive décor, while “A Christmas Fantasy” Parade brings Santa and beloved Disney characters down Main Street in a flurry of holiday cheer. Over at Disney California Adventure Park, you’ll find Disney ¡Viva Navidad! and Disney Festival of Holidays—a celebration filled with delicious treats, live entertainment, and cultural traditions from around the world.
Flexible Ways to Gift the Magic
You don’t even have to visit during the holidays to make it a magical Christmas gift! Surprise your family with the announcement under the tree—perhaps with Mickey ears or a wrapped-up Disney ornament as a clue. You can book a future trip and let the anticipation become part of the fun. With so many hotel and ticket options, you can tailor your vacation to fit your family’s schedule and budget.
Holiday Cheer at the Disneyland Resort Hotels
The magic doesn’t end when you leave the parks! All three Disneyland Resort Hotels—Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, and Disney’s Pixar Place Hotel—are decked out for the holiday season. Think towering Christmas trees, twinkling lights, and festive details that make each hotel sparkle with seasonal charm.
-
At Disneyland Hotel, you’ll find mid-century holiday nostalgia mixed with classic Disney whimsy.
-
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa transforms into a cozy lodge straight out of a holiday movie, complete with a massive gingerbread house in the lobby.
-
And at the newly reimagined Pixar Place Hotel, Pixar-inspired décor gets a cheerful holiday twist—perfect for fans of both Pixar stories and seasonal fun!
Festive Dining to Savor the Season
Foodies, rejoice, because holiday dining at Disneyland Resort is as merry as it gets! At Goofy’s Kitchen, Goofy and friends don their holiday best for a festive buffet filled with family favorites and seasonal surprises. Meanwhile, Storytellers Café at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel will be offering several festive character dining options this holiday season: Daisy’s Holiday Pajama Party and Mickey’s Christmas Carol Feast. Whether you’re starting your morning with Mickey-shaped waffles or ending your day with a delicious feast, these dining experiences are filled with warmth, laughter, and holiday magic.
The Happiest Holiday Gift on Earth
This year, trade the stress of shopping for the joy of shared experiences. A Disneyland Resort vacation is more than a getaway—it’s a reminder of what the holidays are all about: time together, laughter, and a little extra magic.
Sometimes, the best gifts aren’t found under the tree—they’re found in the moments you share at the Happiest Place on Earth. Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, the upbeat Disney Festival of Holidays and Disney ¡Viva Navidad! return on Nov. 14, 2025, and continue through Jan. 7, 2026.
