Holiday Events at Disneyland
Celebrate 20 years of the Haunted Mansion Holiday at Disneyland Resort beginning September 3! Halloween and Christmas collide in an annual makeover of the eerie Haunted Mansion attraction inspired by Tim Burton’s “Nightmare Before Christmas.” In the middle of the Haunted Mansion attraction’s ballroom scene is a gingerbread house that smells as wonderful as it sounds. This year’s Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house will be extra special to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the annual holiday overlay.
