The magic of Christmas takes center stage at Hong Kong Disneyland this December (Dec. 1 – Dec. 31) as the park celebrates its first holiday season – in true Disney style!
Aglow with glittering decorations in hues of vibrant red and green, Main Street USA pays tribute to the spirit of Christmas past as the quaint small-town stores and restaurants swing into holiday festivities.

Anchoring the park celebration is a radiant 60-foot Christmas tree located in Town Square, where each evening at 6:00pm, one lucky guest will be invited to light the tree to signal the start of gentle snowfall on Main Street USA. The official first lighting will take place at 6:00pm on Dec. 1.

"Nothing captures Christmas like snow-capped rooftops and streets covered with snowflakes. For most people across Asia, this is a sight unseen, so we are delighted to be presenting such a magical experience for our guests," said Roy Tan Hardy, Vice President of Marketing and Sales.

Lively Christmas music will fill the air with special performances by the Dapper Dans, a dynamic barbershop quartet renowned for their charming blend of humor, showmanship and versatility. Their repertoire of Christmas favorites is sure to entertain – especially in four-part harmony.

The many stores at Hong Kong Disneyland will offer plenty of treasures and gift ideas to fill holiday stockings. Featuring over 140 Christmas season only items, guests will choose from glitzy ornaments, soft plush toys, novelty hats and more. More than 50 per cent of the holiday items will be exclusive to Hong Kong Disneyland including a variety of seasonal pins featuring some of the park's most beloved Disney pals.

The aroma of fire-roasted chestnuts, a first for any Disney theme park in the world, will waft throughout Main Street USA as freshly baked delicacies vie for attention at the nearby Market House Bakery.

Inside the bakery, Disney chefs have whipped up holiday treats to tempt guests of all ages and features mouthwatering petit Christmas log cakes, Christmas tree rice crispies and tiramisu in a special Mickey Mouse shaped cup. There's also a delicious selection of take home goodies including decorated Christmas cookies, crunchy Mickey ginger biscuits and snowmen presented in a holiday gift bag.

For guests looking to enjoy a dine-in Christmas-inspired lunch or dinner, the Corner Cafe and Plaza Inn offer special menus for a complete yuletide experience.

A visit to Hong Kong Disneyland this Christmas would not be complete without a special photo with beloved Disney friends, who will be dressed up in their winter finery just in time to inspire a Christmas tradition for every guest.

For guests who extend their Hong Kong Disneyland experience and choose to stay in one of the two hotels, the Disneyland Hotel and Disney's Hollywood Hotel, the magic never ends. Decorations, Christmas trees, carolers, storytelling, scrumptious food and special visits by Santa Claus (and Santa Goofy) will ensure an immersive holiday experience like never before.

"Experiencing the magic of a Disney Christmas is a tradition for generations of guests at other Disney parks around the world, and we are pleased to bring the enjoyment and excitement of a sparkling Disney Christmas to Hong Kong.

"We hope that every guest who comes to Hong Kong Disneyland this holiday season will create memories that will last a lifetime," said Hardy.

It sounds quite nice, especially since it's only their first Christmas season.

I wonder if they'll build upon it next year like DLRP do?  With a park that size, they could do with having special seasons like DLRP have to keep people interested.
