Disney Christmas in Tokyo: Dates, Parades and the First Li'l RingRing Popcorn Bucket Revealed

Tokyo Disney Resort has announced dates and details for Disney Christmas 2026. Both parks celebrate from November 11 through December 25. On top of that, Tokyo DisneySea presents the winter programme "Making Winter Warm" with Duffy and Friends from November 2, 2026, through January 13, 2027.

Parades and shows at Tokyo Disneyland

Tokyo Disneyland presents the "Toys Wondrous Christmas!" parade once daily. Six toy-inspired floats carry Mickey and friends, the Aristocats, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps from Zootopia, Stitch and Angel, and the Three Little Pigs. Show stops take place between Westernland and Fantasyland, in the Plaza, and between Tomorrowland and Toontown. After dark, a special Christmas version of Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights takes to the streets. Country Bear Theater presents the Christmas show "Jingle Bell Jamboree" from November 1 through January 16, and the Haunted Mansion becomes Haunted Mansion "Holiday Nightmare" as early as September 15, running through January 7.

Holiday greetings in Mediterranean Harbor

At Tokyo DisneySea, Mickey, Minnie, Duffy, ShellieMay and Santa Claus appear twice daily in the "Disney Christmas Greeting" in Mediterranean Harbor, singing and dancing to Christmas music. Three atmosphere acts return to American Waterfront: the Christmas Carolers with a cappella holiday songs, the clarinet-and-accordion Holly Jolly Trio, and the Holiday Wonder Band. Both parks feature the festive fireworks show "Starbright Christmas."

Decor with an anniversary twist

Christmas trees decorated in "Jubilee Blue," featuring the Tokyo DisneySea 25th anniversary logo, stand at the park entrance and at American Waterfront. At Tokyo Disneyland, World Bazaar gets its own tree, and for the first time the park entrance is decorated in the style of the "Toys Wondrous Christmas!" parade.

Jolly Food Plaza and Li'l RingRing

Christmas menus begin November 1. Camp Woodchuck Kitchen at Tokyo Disneyland and Lookout Cookout at Tokyo DisneySea offer holiday party buckets with chicken dishes, snacks and more. Shops in both parks sell a hot matcha drink with a subtle hint of yuzu, and the Strawberry Milk Special Drink and chocolate churro return. For the first time, there will be a Li'l RingRing popcorn bucket, along with mini snack cases inspired by the elf. The new Jolly Food Plaza opens in the Plaza in front of Cinderella Castle, with booths and wagons selling stollen-inspired cookies, shepherd's pie, cheese pretzels and donuts, among other items. Christmas merchandise featuring Mickey and friends and Li'l RingRing arrives on November 10.

Duffy knits for winter

"Making Winter Warm" is built around a cold, snowy day that Duffy and his friends spend at home knitting together. From November 2 through December 25, merchandise shows Duffy and Friends wrapped in their hand-knitted scarf, alongside LinaBell plush badges in Christmas attire. The "Our Little Snow Friends" collection features snowman designs inspired by the characters, and special Duffy and Friends decorations will appear in the park.

Hotels and Disney Resort Line

Restaurants at Disney Ambassador Hotel, Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta and Tokyo Disneyland Hotel serve Christmas menus from November 1 through December 25, and each hotel is decorated according to its theme from November 11. Starting November 11, monorails with Christmas designs run on the Disney Resort Line, and riders receive exclusive Christmas stickers. A Christmas stamp rally and limited-edition day passes start November 10, followed by holiday souvenir medallions on November 11.
