Disneyland Debuts 'Holiday Fun With Santa & Friends' at Fantasyland Theatre

The repurposed space functions as a daytime hub for character encounters, live music, crafts, photo backdrops.

Overview

  • The seasonal setup blends character meet-and-greets with staged holiday numbers, caroling, sing-alongs, games, and activity zones.
  • Santa meets guests inside the theater alongside rotating characters including Jiminy Cricket, Clarabelle, Chip and Dale, Goofy, Pluto, with occasional appearances by Geppetto and Genie.
  • As part of Disney Holidays running November 14, 2025 through January 7, 2026, the experience typically operates around 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., with exact times subject to the Disneyland app.
  • Visitors can write letters to Santa, tackle simple crafts, pose at festive photo spots, watch classic Disney animated shorts on the big screen, and browse a small selection of holiday merchandise.
  • The footprint is compact and can become crowded near the lower activity area, and the decorated stage remains recognizable from the former Mickey and the Magical Map set.
