Surprise! Change Hit Disney Castle Overnight, and You’re Going To Love It

Disneyland really said the weather outside is frightful, and it’s time to let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Sleeping Beauty Castle!

Christmas at Disneyland is still a month away, but Disney is already prepping for all the festivities ahead. How can we tell? Well, it looks like it’s started snowing in the park already — let us show you!

Make sure to start packing your winter jacket when going to Disneyland (don’t actually, it’s still the mid-80s), because we’ve spotted some snow covering the peaks of the Sleeping Beauty Castle!

It snowed!

The snow-covered castle is just one of the many sweet additions to Disneyland during the holidays. This first piece is a reminder that the colder weather is starting to come in and that the most wonderful time of the year really is just around the corner.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Lots are confirmed to be coming to Disneyland this Christmastime, including Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, Disney Festival of Holidays, and Disney ¡Viva Navidad!. These events will return on November 14th and will last through January 7th, 2026. The holidays give guests the chance to enjoy Disney’s gorgeous holiday décor, view some exclusive live entertainment, and get a holiday treat (of course).

We’re getting excited!

The snow is just the start of the beautiful castle display, as Wintertime Enchantment at Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle is back again this year! Get ready, because this gorgeous display features 80,000 lights! It looks like a snowy, sparkling version of itself.

Another thing we’re looking forward to for the holidays is the amazing “Believe…In Holiday Magic” fireworks nighttime spectacular! It’s returning again this Christmas season, and it will have the snow going down Main Street U.S.A.

Christmas!
