Disneyland Resort has officially confirmed that two of its most beloved seasonal attraction overlays will return for the 2026 holiday season, giving guests another opportunity to experience festive versions of classic Disney attractions later this year. The announcement follows earlier confirmation that Haunted Mansion Holiday will also be returning in time for the Halloween and holiday celebrations.

Among the returning offerings is “it’s a small world” Holiday, the long-running seasonal transformation of the iconic Fantasyland attraction. During the holiday season, the attraction receives extensive decorations both inside and out, with thousands of lights illuminating the famous façade. Guests sail past scenes featuring holiday-inspired décor from around the world while hearing a festive soundtrack that combines the attraction’s signature song with classic seasonal melodies.

Disneyland Resort also confirmed the return of the holiday overlays in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure. Each year, the land undergoes a seasonal makeover inspired by the residents of Radiator Springs, featuring themed decorations, holiday music, and festive versions of several attractions. The seasonal transformations have become a fan-favourite tradition and are among the most popular holiday offerings at the resort.

The confirmation arrives as Disney continues to reveal details for its 2026 holiday celebrations across Disneyland Resort. Holiday offerings are expected to include returning entertainment, seasonal food and beverage items, themed merchandise, and festive décor throughout both theme parks.

While Disneyland has not yet announced specific operating dates for every holiday attraction and entertainment offering, the return of these overlays provides guests with an early look at what they can expect during the resort’s annual holiday season. The overlays have become staples of Disneyland’s end-of-year celebrations, drawing visitors from around the world who return each year to experience the unique seasonal transformations.

Additional details regarding Disneyland Resort’s 2026 holiday festivities are expected to be released in the coming months.
