Mickey Mouse spent the first morning of the 2026 holiday season at Disneyland doing a little television work. We caught him in his new Christmas outfit filming a segment for ABC7 News in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, and a little later his friends led the first holiday march-along of the year with the Disneyland Band.

Mickey’s Close-Up
Mickey stood on a small platform lined with greenery for the ABC7 shoot, with lighting umbrellas set up behind the crowd and a reporter in green standing beside him with a microphone. He waved, clapped, struck a few poses and leaned in toward the reporter as the segment rolled, never once breaking from the cheerful bit.
His holiday look this year is red overalls over a green long-sleeved shirt, topped with a red and white cap. It is one of the new outfits Mickey and his friends are wearing around the Disneyland Resort this season, and today was the first day guests could see them in the parks.
The First Holiday March-Along
Here’s Mickey and Friends goofing around in their Christmas outfits before the first Mikey and Friends march-along with the Disneyland Band of the 2026 holiday season!

Before the march-along stepped off, Goofy, Donald, Pluto and Chip ‘n’ Dale were clowning around near the castle, ducking behind columns and hamming it up for guests in their holiday clothes. Goofy wore a long red coat with a green hat, Donald was in red and white, Pluto had a green scarf, and Chip ‘n’ Dale were dressed in green.
The group then came through the castle to meet the Disneyland Band, dressed in its blue and white uniforms, in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. From there the band and the characters marched down Main Street, U.S.A. past the garland-wrapped storefronts and the giant Christmas tree, with guests lining both sides of the street, before finishing up in Town Square.
Once in Town Square, the characters kept dancing and goofing around with the band as the crowd filled in around them. It is a loose, playful show that never feels rehearsed, which is exactly why so many guests stop to watch it.
More Holiday Characters On The Way
The holiday season at the Disneyland Resort runs from November 13, 2026 through January 6, 2027, and the character lineup will keep growing over the next couple of weeks. Billie from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ upcoming film is one of the next arrivals, as Billie Doe from Hexed starts meeting guests at Disneyland on November 20.
If you want to catch Mickey and his friends in their new holiday clothes, the march-along is one of the easiest ways to see several of them at once. Showtimes can shift during the season, so check the Disneyland app on the day of your visit before heading to Main Street.
