What's New At Au Chalet De La Marionnette For Christmas 2026?
Au Chalet de la Marionnette is the Pinocchio-themed quick-service restaurant in Fantasyland, built to look like a Tyrolean chalet, and Walt Disney Imagineering Paris has dressed it inside and out for Christmas. Garlands and wreaths go on the façade, while the terrace gets lit Christmas trees and a new photo spot designed as a puppet theatre. At the foot of the trees, look out for traditional toys of Pinocchio characters tucked in among the gift boxes.
"We drew inspiration from Geppetto's woodcarvings in the animated film to develop these traditional toys depicting Jiminy Cricket and Cleo the little fish."
- Lisa Ingrassia, Show Designer at Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, November 2026
Inside, garlands and wreaths with ribbons and candles hang around the dining room, next to an old coffee grinder and coffee machine. Those are a nod to Lavazza, the Official Partner of Disneyland Paris behind this year's new drinks.
The Au Chalet De La Marionnette Christmas Menu
The festive menu is chicken with redcurrant and cranberry sauce and baby potatoes, finished off with a Christmas biscuit made with almonds and vanilla. To go with it, Lavazza has created three winter hot drinks that you can only buy at Au Chalet during the season, made up of a roasted hazelnut coffee, a cinnamon roll flavour coffee and a pear-flavoured hot chocolate.
How To Enter The Lavazza Wish Star Sweepstakes
The wish theme comes from When You Wish Upon a Star, and it only runs during Disney Enchanted Christmas.
- Buy a Lavazza hot drink at Au Chalet de la Marionnette.
- Collect the blue paper star you're given with it.
- Write a wish, a dream or a message on the star and post it in one of the two Wish Chalets, one inside the restaurant and one outside.
- Scan the QR code on the back of the star to enter the sweepstakes.
The prize is a stay for four at Disneyland Paris, including a lunch with Disney Characters and a Disney VIP Tours experience, offered by Lavazza. Check the entry terms when you scan the code.

Which Disney Hotels Get New Christmas Decorations For 2026?
Disney Santa Fe, the Cars-themed hotel and one of the cheaper Disney Hotels at Disneyland Paris, gets the biggest makeover of the three. Outside, a tall Christmas tree made of tyres stands among natural fir trees and colourful garlands. Inside, the decorations stretch from the lobby to the luggage area, led by a 3-metre tree hung with ribbons and Cars-inspired ornaments. La Cantina and Rio Grande Bar are decorated too, and the car inside La Cantina now has a Christmas tree of its own.
Walt Disney Imagineering Paris worked with Pixar Animation Studios on the designs, which mix cacti and chequered patterns with Lightning McQueen and Mater to fit the hotel's American Southwest theme.
At Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel, the giant Christmas bauble returns in front of the Lake Disney entrance with a new design showing Doctor Doom on a green background.
Disneyland Hotel sticks with a traditional look of garlands, baubles and ribbons inside and out. The Guards of the Winter Holidays are back, along with the giant tree by the lobby fireplace, and there's a new photo location on the walkway at the throne photo spot, framed by Beauty and the Beast banners.
| Disney Hotel | New For Christmas 2026 | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|
| Disney Santa Fe | Tyre Christmas tree outside, a 3-metre Cars-themed tree inside and a decorated car at La Cantina | Cars fans and guests watching their budget |
| Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel | Giant bauble with a Doctor Doom design on a green background, on the Lake Disney side | Marvel fans, especially anyone seeing Avengers: Doomsday |
| Disneyland Hotel | New photo location at the throne photo spot with Beauty and the Beast banners, plus the returning Guards of the Winter Holidays | Guests who want a classic, traditional Christmas look |

What's New At Disney Village For Christmas 2026?
Disney Village gets new Christmas trees and giant decorative snowflakes during November, developed with Official Partner Coca-Cola. Each snowflake is inspired by a Disney, Pixar, Marvel or Star Wars character, and new themed photo locations are going in across Disney Village as well.
Sports Bar & Lounge gets new wreaths and garlands, and guests who order a Coca-Cola drink there will be offered a limited-edition Coca-Cola coaster in Christmas colours.
Disney Village is free to walk around without a park ticket, and Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy station is right next to it. If you're travelling by Eurostar from London St Pancras to Lille Europe and then a TGV to Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy, the snowflakes are a few minutes' walk from the platforms, so arrival or departure day is a good time to see them without using up a park day.
Should The New Christmas Decorations Change Your UK Trip Plans?
No. If you're already booked for any date between 7th November 2026 and 6th January 2027, you'll see all of this at no extra cost. If you haven't booked yet, let the season dates and your school calendar decide when you go, then pick the cheapest dates within that window.
Here's what it changes once you're there.
- The three Lavazza drinks are only sold at Au Chalet de la Marionnette, so plan a Fantasyland stop if you want to try them.
- Every Lavazza hot drink comes with a wish star, so a family of four buying a drink each ends up with four stars and four QR codes to scan.
- The Disney Village snowflakes and Sports Bar & Lounge are outside the parks, which makes them easy to fit around a travel day.
- Adults travelling between 4th and 6th January 2027, after most English schools go back, still catch the last days of the season.
