“Frozen Holiday Surprise” debuted at Magic Kingdom in 2023 and has been an annual holiday entertainment offering since. The live castle-lighting show, performed on the Cinderella Castle forecourt stage, features the main characters of the Frozen series getting ready for the holidays as they decorate the castle.

This year, nightly performances of “Frozen Holiday Surprise” start on November 8 at 6:15 p.m., coinciding with the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party; the show will also be performed again at 8:15 p.m. on party nights, right before the 8:30 p.m. performance of the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade.
