Marne-la-Vallée, France — Disney Enchanted Christmas, the Christmas season at Disneyland Paris, runs Nov. 7 to Jan. 6 and is included with park admission.

The calendar below shows each day’s hours, and two lists sort what’s included from what costs extra.

What’s Included and What Costs Extra
Disney says its Christmas entertainment is included with a valid ticket for the park where it takes place, so the parade, the shows, the tree lighting, the decorations and the character meets all come with admission. World of Frozen’s Christmas needs a Disney Adventure World ticket, and Santa and Jack Skellington run on a same-day virtual queue in the Disneyland Paris app.

On Dec. 31, both parks are open 9 a.m. to 1 a.m., and each throws a New Year’s Eve party.

Disney Adventure World has DJ parties across its worlds, then a midnight drone and fireworks show above World of Frozen, themed to Frozen and the park’s other worlds, with drones only if the weather allows.
The two midnight shows start at the same time, so a 2-Park ticket gets you into both parties but only one midnight show. The parties are included with a park ticket valid on Dec. 31 (a dated ticket covering that day), and undated tickets aren’t valid that day. Disney Cascade of Lights doesn’t run on Dec. 31. Last year New Year’s Eve was in Disneyland Park only.

Christmas Food and Drinks
Au Chalet de la Marionnette, the Pinocchio-themed counter-service restaurant in Fantasyland, has a new Christmas menu of chicken with redcurrant and cranberry sauce, baby potatoes and a Christmas biscuit with almonds and vanilla, plus three new Lavazza winter drinks sold only there this season. Each Lavazza hot drink comes with a blue paper star to write a wish on and hang in one of the restaurant’s Wish Chalets.
