7. Disneyland Candlelight Processional
The Candlelight and Processional Ceremony has been a tradition at Disneyland since 1958 and it is nothing short of beautiful. Using an orchestra, choir, and Scripture, which is usually narrated by a celebrity, the story of the First Christmas is told under the open sky. This is a prestigious event that is usually by invitation only if you want a “real” seat, but if you’re ok with standing room only, then anyone can watch and listen to this beautiful display in front of the Main Street train station. This production is only performed on 2 nights during the holiday season, and is even more reason to try and visit during the first week of December.

9. Santa Claus
Yes, even Kris Kringle find his way to Disneyland and if you want to meet him, you can in Critter Country! Sure, you can see Santa on the many holiday parades, but if your kids want a face to face then head to the back of the park for your own meet and greet.
