Disney has unveiled a magical addition to its park experience that delivers the festive spirit of Christmas all-year-long.
A Festive Tradition Extended Year-Round
While Disney parks are renowned for their elaborate Christmas celebrations, from the Disney Festival of Holidays at Disneyland Resort to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris has taken its festive spirit a step further.
Traditionally, faux snow (affectionately known by Disney fans as “snoap”) graces Main Street, U.S.A., during the park’s Disney Enchanted Christmas celebration from November to January.
Now, this wintry touch will enchant visitors every night throughout the year during the Beauty and the Beast (1991) segment of the park’s newest nighttime spectacular, Disney Tales of Magic.

Footage shared by DLP Report shows snoap drifting down Main Street, U.S.A. while drones recreate the iconic rose from the movie in the sky, both set to an instrumental version of “Beauty and the Beast.”
A Spectacular Debut
Debuting last night, Disney Tales of Magic is set to be performed nightly for the foreseeable future, replacing Disney Illuminations and the drone-powered Disney Electrical Sky Parade.
The show combines cutting-edge pyrotechnics, drones, and projection mapping technology – which, for the first time in the park’s history, extends down Main Street, U.S.A., as well as Sleeping Beauty Castle. Guests are transported through a blend of classic and contemporary Disney tales, including Cinderella (1950), Pinocchio (1940), Encanto (2021), and Lilo & Stitch (2002).
The debut performance has undeniably dazzled audiences, solidifying something we’ve known for years: Disneyland Paris is the Disney park when it comes to live entertainment.
While it’s been over 18 years since a new attraction was actually added to Disneyland Park, its investment in shows such as Disney Tales of Magic goes a long way in making up the difference. (Although, Disney, if you’re reading this, we’d still like a new ride. Please).
What do you think of the new Disney Tales of Magic?
