Christmas at Hong Kong Disneyland begins on 17 November, with new activities joining familiar seasonal traditions across the Lantau park. Main Street will have its evening tree lighting, while the Castle of Magical Dreams hosts a new daytime show featuring Mickey, Minnie and Stitch.
Over in World of Frozen, visitors can explore a winter market and meet Olaf. The season runs until 3 January 2027, with four concert nights in November and December and a big celebration on New Year’s Eve.
Evening Christmas Tree Lighting
The giant Christmas tree returns to Main Street, U.S.A., where Santa Goofy leads an evening lighting ceremony with carols, artificial snowfall and drone formations overhead. (time?)
New Daytime Castle Show And Festive Characters
From 19 November, Mickey and Minnie are scheduled to host a new daytime Christmas stage show outside the Castle of Magical Dreams, with an appearance by Stitch.
You can also look out for Mickey and Friends, Duffy and Friends, Toy Story characters and Winnie the Pooh in seasonal outfits.
A New Winter Market At World Of Frozen
World of Frozen is getting a new winter market under the artificial snow, with festive snacks, handmade gifts and decorations inspired by Arendelle.
On the other side, Kristoff asks visitors to help him finish an ice sculpture as a surprise gift for his reindeer Sven.
You can also find Anna and Olaf here, the free-roaming, talking robot introduced in May. Unlike a stationary character display, Olaf can move around the themed area and chat with guests.
Live Christmas Concerts On Two Weekends
Disney Christmas Live in Concert returns in front of the castle over two weekends. More than 100 members of the Hong Kong Children’s Choir will perform alongside local pianists:
- 21–22 November: Joyce Cheung
- 5–6 December: Oscar Tao
Dedicated seating starts at HK$299, with park admission sold separately. Concert packages can be booked through Disney’s official website.
New Year’s Eve: Nighttime Show And Midnight Countdown
On 31 December, visitors can watch Momentous, Disney’s nighttime multimedia show combining music, castle projections, fountains and fireworks effects. This takes place at 9pm on Main Street (please check) before the New Year’s Eve countdown.
DJ sets and appearances by Goofy and Max follow near the castle. Mickey and Friends join the countdown towards midnight, with drones, fireworks and projections planned. Designated countdown viewing is offered through a special Disney Premier Access package.
