Disney Winter Frostival and Seasonal Festivities Return to Shanghai Disney Resort

Grab your sweaters and put on your favorite scarves because Disney Winter Frostival returns to Shanghai Disney Resort from November 7, 2025 to March 3, 2026! Whether you’re a fan of dazzling winter décor, heartwarming treats, or brrr-eathtaking entertainment, we’re unwrapping all that’s in store. 

This season, the entire resort will be transformed with brand-new holiday décor, including an all-new Christmas tree that will come to life each evening in the Gardens of Imagination. Taller than ever before, it’ll be adorned with a variety of ornaments and topped with a radiant star.  

We’re also excited to share that a charming troupe of all-new snow statues will make their debut along Mickey Avenue and the Gardens of Imagination. Inspired by Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends, each snow creation features playful nods to their signature styles — from Minnie’s iconic polka-dot bow to Donald’s timeless sailor hat.  

Throughout the park, you can also find the popular ice statues that’ll feature new friends and characters this year. And the winter fun doesn’t stop there as a brand-new winter social wall will feature imagery of Mickey, Minnie, and Duffy and Friends as they enjoy a magic snow day — great for winter photos! 

Step into a world of winter wonder with Mickey, Minnie, and the Snowies as “Mickey’s Snow Magic” fills Mickey Avenue with a flurry of falling snow, themed music, and captivating projections of Disney classic stories.  

The celebration continues with the return of “Disney Winter Magic Cavalcade” featuring glittering floats and Disney friends adorned in seasonal outfits as they bring classic Disney winter scenes to life. As night falls, “A Celebration of Disney Winter Frostival” brings the Enchanted Storybook Castle and Gardens of Imagination to life with beautiful lights, stirring sounds, and stunning projections to tell beloved Disney tales. 

From November 12 to 18, 2025, a week-long celebration will be held to mark a magical birthday party for Mickey and Minnie including daily performances from the Shanghai Disneyland Band in front of Enchanted Storybook Castle. Following each evening nighttime spectacular, Mickey and Minnie’s Birthday Celebration Castle Projection “Best Wishes” will also fill the air with fireworks and picturesque scenes in the leadup to a grand finale on November 18. 

You can’t forget one of the best parts of the celebration — meeting beloved Disney pals as they wear their winter threads! This year, Winnie and Pooh and Friends will be dressed in cozy new winter looks featuring natural, textured fabrics. Mickey and Friends and Duffy and Friends will also sport festive holiday outfits, joining in the fun to celebrate the season. 

Across the resort, you can enjoy a variety of warm and sweet treats, from holiday-themed donuts and cookies to festive muffins that spark cheer. Over at Royal Banquet Hall and Aurora at Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, a selection of dishes celebrates the flavors of winter, while Lumière’s Kitchen Christmas Season Dinner Buffet offers a festive feast filled with mouthwatering delicacies. 

If you’re a holiday shopper (like me) or just want some keepsakes (also like me), you can find a variety of winter collections such as the Mickey and Friends Christmas Waltz Collection, Duffy and Friends Snowy Pals Collection and other winter collections inspired by Winnie the Pooh and Friends, as well as Lilo & Stitch and Zootopia from Walt Disney Animation Studios. From cozy scarves, furry earmuffs, and padded jackets to home décor, stocking stuffers, and toys, you can celebrate in true Disney style.  

There are so many ways to celebrate the winter season at Shanghai Disney Resort! Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog and follow @disneyparks on Instagram as we share all the parks have to offer during the holiday season.
