New Times Confirmed for Disneyland’s Christmas Fantasy Parade—And the Fireworks Are Staying Late

The holidays are almost here, and Disneyland is already setting the stage for another season of festive cheer. With new updates to the park’s entertainment schedule, guests can now plan around the official showtimes for A Christmas Fantasy Parade and Believe… in Holiday Magic fireworks—two traditions that truly define the Disneyland holiday experience.

Updated Parade Times Bring Subtle Change

Starting November 14, 2025, A Christmas Fantasy Parade will once again make its merry way down Main Street, U.S.A., continuing through January 7, 2026. This year’s performances are set for 2:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m., shifting slightly from last year’s 2:30 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. schedule. The adjustment gives guests a bit more breathing room in the afternoon and helps the second parade line up perfectly with sunset for that golden holiday glow.

The parade features all the Disney favorites—Mickey, Minnie, and friends—alongside classic floats and, of course, Santa Claus himself. Costumes and character appearances tend to evolve each year, so fans can expect new details without losing the nostalgic holiday feel that has made this parade a must-see since its debut.

Fireworks That Bring the Magic Home

Later in the evening, the Believe… in Holiday Magic fireworks spectacular will return at 9:30 p.m., filling the sky with music, color, and heartwarming memories. The show includes songs like “O Holy Night,” “Joy to the World,” and “I Have a Little Dreidel,” as well as Kellie Coffey’s “Can You Remember,” all timed beautifully with fireworks and twinkling castle projections.

To top it off, “snow” will once again fall along Main Street, “it’s a small world” Holiday, and Rivers of America, creating that perfect ending moment that Disneyland fans look forward to all year.

A Season of Traditions—Old and New

Beyond the parade and fireworks, Disneyland is rolling out plenty of other seasonal experiences. Disney ¡Viva Navidad!and Mater’s Jingle Jamboree are back, while it’s a small world will close temporarily from October 30 to November 13to transform into its glittering holiday version. However, one change may surprise longtime guests: World of Color – Season of Light will not return this year, with World of Color – Happiness! continuing through the holidays instead.

With the schedule now revealed, there’s no better time to plan your visit. The holidays at Disneyland are officially on the horizon—and the magic is ready to begin.
