‘Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party’ Returns to Walt Disney World in 2022

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade

As part of Disney Parks’ “Halfway to the Holidays” promotion this week, they dropped a flurry of news about holiday offerings at the various parks, including the fact that “Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party” will be returning to Walt Disney World this year!

This holly jolly event returns to delight guests on select nights from November 8 through December 22, 2022 at Magic Kingdom.

It will be the first time since 2019 the separately-ticketed event will take place.

“Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party” was skipped in 2020 due to the pandemic, and last year, Walt Disney World hosted a modified event, “Mickey’s Very Merriest After Hours.”

This year “Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party” is back in a big way.

Mickey and his pals take over the Cinderella Castle stage for the “Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration.” The show features nostalgic and modern medleys of holiday music paired with dance performances.

Minnie Mouse orchestrates a sparkling spectacle over Magic Kingdom as a part of “Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks.” Full of holiday magic, the show includes dazzling castle projections, fireworks, and seasonal songs.

In between photos, be sure to enjoy the complimentary cookies and cocoa located at designated locations around the park.
