Deck the Halls Early: Disney Installs Christmas, Skipping Over Halloween
While summer is still in full swing, Disneyland Paris Resort has already begun ushering in the holiday season. The Walt Disney Studio Store at the park has rolled out its Christmas decorations and merchandise, prompting both excitement and criticism among guests. However, the early arrival of these seasonal offerings is generating some heated discussion.
Fans Question the Timing of Holiday Displays
Some visitors are expressing their dissatisfaction with the early Christmas displays. A guest posted online, saying, “It’s August. What are we even doing anymore?” This sentiment reflects concerns from some Disney fans who feel it’s too soon to begin celebrating Christmas, arguing that the holiday season should be reserved for the fall and winter months.
On the other hand, many park-goers are embracing the festive atmosphere. The store’s new offerings, which include Christmas-themed merchandise, decor, and even holiday-inspired treats, have been well received by those eager to start their Christmas shopping early and enjoy a bit of holiday cheer months in advance.

A Long-standing Disney Tradition
Disney parks have long been known for celebrating holidays well before the official season begins. Disneyland Paris, in particular, is a popular destination for early holiday festivities, with elaborate decorations and immersive events that draw guests from around the world. While some believe the early start detracts from the season’s excitement, others appreciate the prolonged celebration.
The timing of holiday promotions and decorations has become a growing point of debate as more companies begin to release Christmas-themed products earlier each year. While some argue this takes away from the magic of the season, others are happy to embrace the early holiday spirit. Disney’s early holiday push only adds fuel to the conversation surrounding the timing of festive celebrations.
While opinions vary, it’s clear that Disneyland Paris Resort has already fully embraced the magic of Christmas, offering an early taste of the season to guests. Whether it’s too soon for some or a welcome start to the holiday season for others, Disney continues to lead the charge with its early celebrations, making the question of “when is too early for Christmas?” more relevant than ever.
