Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a seasonal event that runs at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort during selected dates between November and December. It is a annual Christmas party. There are three Christmas shows such as Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Celebrate The Season in front of the Cinderella Castle, and Holiday Wishes firework show. In 2019, it was replaced by a new special fireworks show, Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, featuring Minnie Mouse.

On September 8, 2020, Walt Disney World Resort canceled Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, due to COVID-19 restrictions.

On July 12, 2021, following Walt Disney World's reopening, Disney announced that Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party was replaced by a new holiday event, Disney Very Merriest After Hours in time for Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary celebration.

On June 23, 2022, Disney announced that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will return to the Magic Kingdom on November 8, 2022, as part of Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebration.

Story[]

In Once Upon A Christmas Parade, there are many things seen on the street such as toy soldiers, dancing gingerbread cookies, Santa Claus and more. In Celebrate the Season show located in front of Cinderella's Castle, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse, Chip, Dale, and rest of the crew celebrate the season by singing Christmas songs, watch entertainers dance and more. In Holiday Wishes, located at Cinderella's Castle, the fireworks show would tell you a story about the holidays.

During the parade, many of the face characters, especially the heroines like Alice, Wendy, and several of the Disney Princesses, are wearing their winter variant of their normal outfits, with long sleeves, their necks and shoulders covered, and maybe a few extra touches to help blend in with the seasonal theme and stay warm in the colder temperatures in Florida at the time based on the weather forecasts. 2024 introduced Anna and Elsa wearing their Olaf's Frozen Adventure Christmas dresses for the parade, and for meet-and-greets during the seasonal event.

Among the floats include one for Olaf, separated from one for Elsa, in which Kristoff and Anna dance with several Cast Member backup dancers in between the two floats. Snow White and the Prince ride in a gazebo float before being followed by Cinderella and Prince Charming in Cinderella's pumpkin carriage, escorted by several Cast Member royal guards and pulled by real horses, before the main float for the Disney royalty arrives, with Aurora, Phillip, Ariel, Eric, Belle, Beast, Jasmine, Aladdin, Tiana, Naveen, Rapunzel, and Flynn all riding on it, with Belle sporting her Christmas dress from Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.
