Read on for what happens in each show, the Norwegian folklore hidden in the decorations, where the music was recorded and how to fit both shows into one day.
What Are The New World Of Frozen Christmas Shows?
There are two, and they're quite different in feel. The directors behind them, Françoise Baffioni and Matteo Borghi, have shared the first details in a press release sent to Mickey From The UK.
The Arendelle carollers is the one you're most likely to stumble across. Several times a day, five villagers gather on a new stage close to Friendship Fountain and share Arendelle's Christmas traditions through song. Anna and Elsa join in with the choir, Elsa adds a flourish with her ice powers, and Olaf leads the whole thing. Given Olaf's track record, Françoise Baffioni's advice is that you "should expect the unexpected".
When we covered World of Frozen joining Disney Enchanted Christmas 2026 back in September, a royal appearance in the carollers show was only a possibility. The press release now confirms both queens will be there.
Ring in the season with Anna and Elsa is the bigger set piece. It takes place daily on the fjord, with Anna and Elsa sailing into Arendelle on their newly redecorated boat to celebrate with the villagers and guests. It's the only one of the two shows built entirely around the queens, and during it they look back on childhood memories from the years they spent apart.
"Anna and Elsa arrive in Arendelle by boat to celebrate the festive season with the villagers and guests, and to share their Christmas wishes with them."
- Françoise Baffioni, director, Disneyland Paris press release, November 2026
Both shows are included in standard park admission, so there's no add-on to buy on top of a UK package or a park ticket. The season also runs right through the English Christmas school holidays, which makes this the first year UK guests visiting over the festive break can see Anna and Elsa celebrating Christmas in their own kingdom.
| Feature | The Arendelle Carollers | Ring In The Season With Anna And Elsa |
|---|---|---|
| Where | New stage near Friendship Fountain | On the fjord |
| How often | Several times a day | Daily |

What Do The World Of Frozen Christmas Decorations Look Like?
The Show teams worked with Imagineers on everything from the Arendelle garlands on the façades to the new stage, with the short film Olaf's Frozen Adventure as the starting point. Together with set designer Thomas Gallou, the directors used the film's take on Norwegian traditions and folklore to set the look of the season, both for the stage and for Anna and Elsa's redecorated boat. Eagle-eyed fans should spot plenty of references to the film.
Look out for wreaths, which stand for the warm anticipation of winter, and straw decorations everywhere, including stars and figurines tied with red ribbon at the foot of the stage. There's some history behind the straw. In the Nordic countries, Christmas straw traditionally came from the last harvests of autumn, and keeping and plaiting it for the winter solstice was meant to keep the earth spirits on side and guarantee good harvests the following year.
You'll also see the Julbock, or Christmas Goat, on the stage. It's a Scandinavian good-luck charm and a nod to the god Thor, whose chariot was said to be pulled by two goats.
The colour scheme is where World of Frozen stands apart from the rest of Disneyland Paris. Disneyland Park sticks to the traditional green, red and gold, while Arendelle leans on the purple that runs through the Frozen films. As Matteo Borghi puts it, the team "wanted to give this Christmas in Arendelle a unique and recognisable identity".
World of Frozen isn't the only place that's had a festive makeover. Decorations are now up across both parks and the Disney Hotels, and you can see what's new this year, from the Doctor Doom bauble at Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel to the Cars-themed tree at Disney Santa Fe, in our round-up of Disneyland Paris Christmas decorations for 2026.
What Music Is In The Arendelle Christmas Shows?
The set lists for both shows mix songs from Olaf's Frozen Adventure and the first two Frozen films with a traditional Christmas carol. The choir sings everything live, using five-part arrangements by Disneyland Paris Music Manager Guillaume Coignard and music producer Samuel Sené. The information provided to us doesn't name the individual songs, so you'll have to go along to find out which ones made the cut.
The orchestral scores were recorded by two orchestras well known to Disneyland Paris, one based in Budapest and one in Bratislava. Matteo Borghi explains that in an open space like Arendelle "music is essential", which is why the music runs straight from the songs into the dialogue without a break. Françoise Baffioni admits the team had tears in their eyes from the first rehearsals.
How To Plan Your Day Around The Frozen Christmas Shows
Neither show needs a separate booking, but a little planning means you'll see both.
- Plan around the fjord ceremony first, then fit the carollers in before or after, since they perform several times a day.
- Check the Disneyland Paris app first thing for both show times, then plan the rest of Disney Adventure World around them.
- Wrap up warm, as both shows are outdoors between November and January and you'll be standing still while you watch.
- Keep a back-up plan for wet or windy days, because outdoor shows can be changed, postponed or cancelled for weather or technical reasons.
Staying off-site and only need park entry? Disneyland Paris tickets can be bought on their own, and both Frozen shows are included.
