Disney ¡Viva Navidad! gives guests the chance to enjoy a street party featuring Mexican folklórico dancers and Mariachis, Brazilian samba dancers and percussionists, giant mojiganga puppets, and Mickey, Minnie and friends in their fiesta best!
“Disney ¡Viva Navidad!” is hosted by The Three Caballeros, and Encanto’s Mirabel and more Disney pals also make appearances! Enjoy the celebration at Paradise Gardens Park.
NEW in 2024 was an Encanto-themed show called “Mirabel’s Gifts of the Seasons,” presented Mondays through Fridays outside the entrance to Paradise Gardens Park, and it will be back for 2025!
Mirabel is joined by her friends to enjoy the spirit of the holidays during their very own Fiesta de Navidad celebration! The show includes some of your favorite songs from Encanto.
A new Coco-themed show came to the festival in 2024, too! Also returning this year is “A Musical Christmas with Mariachi Alegría de Disneyland & Miguel,” performed on Buena Vista Street.
This nighttime shows “gathers friends and families to listen to heartfelt stories and timeless songs in an enchanting celebration of the holidays.” The bilingual show includes a special appearance by Miguel for a rendition of “Silent Night.”
Additional musical acts will perform throughout the Festival. Don’t forget to grab a Festival Entertainment Guide and check the Disneyland App so you can be in the know with the full entertainment lineup during your visit!

The Festival of Holidays traditionally features a holiday version of the nighttime spectacular, World of Color — Season of Light on Paradise Bay. However, there is a CHANGE in store for 2025. This year, Disneyland Resort is celebrating its 70th Anniversary!
As part of the celebration, Disney California Adventure will present World of Color Happiness! throughout the run of the 2025 Festival of Holidays.
The production is a blend of holiday tunes with classic moments from Disney and Pixar films, all highlighted by dancing fountains and lighting effects. (Please be aware that World of Color utilizes a Virtual Queue. Though it is not required for entry, it is highly recommended.)
