Christmas is a magical time at both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. While Christmas isn’t traditionally celebrated in Japan, Disney Parks take this time of the year seriously. From elaborate decorations to themed snacks, you’ll have an easy time finding things to do around Tokyo Disney Resort.
Here’s our list of the 7 best things to do at Tokyo Disney Resort during Christmas time.
Go on a Romantic Date
While Christmas isn’t celebrated the same as it is in the West, it’s considered a romantic time of the year. December 25th is a busy day not because it’s Christmas Day, but because it’s a day where you take your significant other on a date.
Tokyo DisneySea has a romantic atmosphere that is perfect for a romantic night out. Have a nice sitdown meal at one of their exquisite restaurants and finish the evening off by enjoying all the beautiful lights strung throughout the Park.
Have a Warm Drink
The evenings are chilly and with the wind coming off Tokyo Bay, it’s the perfect excuse to enjoy a warm drink. Tokyo Disneyland offers a variety of non-alcoholic drinks while Tokyo DisneySea has delicious warm alcoholic cocktails.
As a bonus, these double as hand warmers.
Enjoy the Christmas Entertainment
Both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea have entertainment specific for Christmas time. Over at Tokyo Disneyland, you’re able to enjoy the Christmas version of “Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights” and a daytime Christmas-themed parade! Don’t worry, the normal parade “Dreaming Up!” also runs during the day. That means you have the opportunity to watch 3 different parades! How’s that for value?
Over at Tokyo DisneySea, the Park offers a Christmas-themed day-time show in the Mediterranean Harbor along with a beautiful show in the evening.
There’s no shortage of entertainment options to enjoy no matter which Park you choose.
Enjoy the Christmas Decorations
From towering Christmas trees to lights strung overhead, the Parks shine once the sun goes down. For a country that doesn’t celebrate Christmas, it sure feels like “home.” Take a moment to appreciate all the little details and soak it all in, this is what life is all about.
Buy Cute and Warm Clothing
Tokyo Disney Resort is known for its ever-changing merchandise. Warm clothing is no exception. Warm, fuzzy, and irresistibly cute clothing is in abundance. Take your date or friends clothes shopping and find the perfect matching outfits.
Eat Christmas-themed Snacks
Much like the drinks at the Parks, there are tons of Christmas-themed snacks to choose from at both Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo DisneySea. Not only are they perfect for Instagram, but a lot of them are also actually quite tasty too.
Photos with Characters in Christmas Outfits
A few of the characters roaming the Parks sport their best Christmas attire for you to take photos with! The most popular are Duffy and ShellieMay over at Tokyo DisneySea who have Christmas outfits for you to take photos with. The lines get long for these particular photo ops, so make sure you do it early in the day!
