>>Disneyland is already making plans for the Christmas season with giant ornaments, faux snow and holiday music even before Labor Day Weekend brings an unofficial end to summer and we put away our bathing suits, sunscreen and beach chairs for another year.

Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will kick off the Christmas holiday season on Nov. 12 with a two-month celebration that will stretch until Jan. 9.<<

>>The 2021 winter festivities will see the return of “A Christmas Fantasy” parade and “Believe in Holiday Magic” fireworks show at Disneyland and the Festival of Holidays food festival and Viva Navidad street party at Disney California Adventure.

It’s a Small World will once again get a holiday overlay with the Haunted Mansion keeping its “Nightmare Before Christmas” theme into the new year. At DCA, Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl and Mater’s Jingle Jamboree take over the Cars Land attractions.

The “Believe” fireworks show will play out in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle with a sudsy faux snow finale and projection mapping on Main Street U.S.A. building facades.

The Viva Navidad street party in DCA’s Paradise Gardens will feature mariachis, folklorico and samba dancers, giant mojiganga puppets and Mickey and Minnie in fiesta outfits.

Eight food booths at DCA’s Festival of Holidays will serve dishes celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali and Three Kings Day.<<

Well, okay. So all the normal Christmas stuff they'd been doing for a decade before Covid. :rolleyes:

I have two main thoughts...
  • Diwali is celebrated in late October or early November, depending on the calendar. Weeks after this "festival" begins in DCA. It's like celebrating Thanksgiving in January. But God love 'em for trying to find something that's not Christmas. :cool:

  • Viva Navidad is perhaps one of the best pieces of entertainment to come out of Anaheim in the last 20 years. I absolutely love it! The only thing they could do to improve it is if during the week between Christmas and New Years when the parks are packed they got Charo to appear on a hydraulic lift out of the top of the float during the grand finale'. Otherwise, Viva Navidad is perfect the way it is. It's my favorite!
Seriously, someone call Charo. She needs to get there for Viva Navidad this year! We all need a little Charo in our lives.
