Magic Kingdom's Festive Return: What's New for 2025?

Magic Kingdom is gearing up for a festive 2025 holiday season, bringing back beloved traditions and adding some sparkle. The iconic Cinderella Castle will once again shine with holiday projections, and Main Street, U. S. A. will be adorned with wreaths and twinkling lights. The park’s Christmas tree will make its return to Town Square, and Disney PhotoPass photographers will be ready to capture holiday memories. The popular “Frozen Holiday Surprise” show is back, featuring Olaf and over 100 snowgies transforming Cinderella Castle into a crystallized palace. Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff will join the fun, making it a must-see nighttime spectacle. The new “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away” parade will continue through the holiday season, though it won’t be part of the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party nights. This parade, debuting on July 20, promises to add a magical touch to the festivities. Jungle Cruise fans will be happy to know that the Jingle Cruise holiday overlay is returning. Expect holiday-themed puns, decorations, and a festive atmosphere throughout the queue and ride. While details are still under wraps, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is confirmed to return for the 2025 season. Although the official webpage lists some 2024 offerings, it’s safe to assume that fan favorites like attraction overlays, parades, fireworks, character meet and greets, dance parties, and complimentary treats will make a comeback. For those planning a holiday getaway, there are winter 2025 hotel offers and more details available about the festivities at Walt Disney World. Stay tuned for updates and get ready to celebrate the holidays in style at Magic Kingdom.
