About the Market

Europe's top destination, Disneyland Paris, features two theme parks (Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park), Disney Village, seven themed hotels and Golf Disneyland.

The Christmas market takes place at the Disney Village, which is lit up with a thousand fairy lights that twinkle like stars over the stalls and chalets. Stalls are laden with festive goodies and tasty culinary treats from regional producers. Tempting treats and traditional crafts are only some of the highlights of this year’s Christmas market, warmly nestled at the Disney Village entrance. Take a magical stroll along the shop-lined street and loose yourself in the cosy atmosphere of Christmas. Meet elves, stilted musicians, ‘Astrobulles’ (performers in luminous spheres), the ‘Giant Toy Brigade’ and a sleighful of other characters.

Disneyland Resort Paris and Disney Village are celebrating their fifteenth anniversary
this year as well! A variety of street shows, various DJ parties in 70's and tropical styles, concerts, karaoke nights are offered during Yuletide. Check Disney Land website for special offers.
