In classic red and green, their holiday attire is being designed in wintry textures and patterns. Above is a look at this year’s vintage-inspired holiday character costumes. Our expectation is that it will, given the Halloween cavalcade is already back this year.įor Christmas 2022, Minnie and Mickey Mouse plus their pals will don their holiday finest and newest fashions in Town Square at Disneyland.

Between locals with long weekends and fans eager for the start of Christmas, expect that first weekend to be particularly busy. That date coincides with Veterans’ Day, which is an incredibly popular holiday at Disneyland. This is a bit surprising, with the holiday season starting one week later than we expected.
