From now through January 4, 2026, guests are invited to experience “A Disney Christmas” like never before, blending beloved traditions, spectacular new entertainment, and exclusive character moments into the festive season.
World of Frozen Gets a ‘Sven-tastic’ Upgrade
The newly opened World of Frozen is shimmering with Arendellian holiday charm, now dusted with snow and adorned with festive twinkling trees and decorations.
This year, the kingdom welcomes a brand-new, dazzling ice sculpture featuring Kristoff and his loyal reindeer pal, Sven. Guests are invited to take part in the cheerful, interactive Kristoff’s Sven-tastic Surprise, helping Kristoff add joyful, festive touches to the magnificent sculpture.
Spectacular New Shows and Dazzling Nighttime Traditions
The 20th anniversary adds extra sparkle to the resort’s entertainment lineup:

- Disney Christmas Live in Concert!: Starting November 22 and running across three festive weekends, the Castle of Magical Dreams becomes the stage for this musical celebration. It features Santa Goofy, Disney friends, and performances by popular Cantopop stars Jay Fung, YT Chau, and Alfred Hui, along with the Hong Kong Children’s Choir.
