Disney just dropped a TON of news about the 2025 holiday season, and we can’t lie — we’re ready to deck the halls and trim the trees already.

One of our favorite parts of the holidays at Disney World is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom. This separately ticketed event is full of festive entertainment, rides, characters, food, and a whole lot more — and now we know everything that’s returning this year!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is returning in 2025, and we’re sharing everything Disney has confirmed so far about this festive party, so let’s get into it!

Dates

The party takes place in Magic Kingdom on select nights from Friday, November 7th to Sunday, December 21st, 2025. The full list of party nights can be found below:

• November: 7th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 25th, 26th, 28th, 30th
• December: 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 19th, 21st

Tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party are on sale as of July 16th, 2025, for those staying at select Disney World hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green. For all other guests, tickets are on sale as of July 22nd, 2025.

Adult ticket prices vary by date and will range from $169 to $229 in 2025 (Children’s age 3 to 9 are $10 less than Adult prices per night) — date-specific pricing has not yet been released! Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save $10 per ticket to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on select event nights.

Entertainment

There are SO many different entertainment offerings at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party — from characters to parades to shows and more. Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks is a holiday-themed fireworks display that includes projections, special effects, special lighting, fireworks, and Disney characters. The fireworks are shown once each party night.

Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade is another returning favorite. The parade is typically* offered twice nightly, first at 8:30 PM and again at 11 PM (we’ve found that the second parade is usually less crowded than the first). Parade times have not been confirmed for this year, so stay tuned for those details.

Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration is a show performed at the Cinderella Castle stage featuring beloved Disney pals and seasonal songs. It’s typically presented several times throughout the evening.

Frozen Holiday Surprise brings Olaf and more than a hundred of his Snowgie siblings together with Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff to decorate the castle for the festivities. The show culminates with Elsa adding shimmering and sparkling touches, which “transform Cinderella Castle into a shimmering crystallized palace.”

Be on the lookout for Disney characters in their holiday finery! You’ll often find some rare characters out and about during the event as well. While the full list of characters hasn’t been confirmed yet this year, you can typically find them listed along with their locations on the party map or the My Disney Experience app.

You can also look forward to SNOW falling on Main Street, U.S.A., and Club Tinsel (A dance party at Rocketeer Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland), along with Disney Junior Jingle Jam (A dance party with Disney Junior characters at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe).
