Disney fans and Christmas enthusiasts alike have a new reason to celebrate, as one park has made a festive feature a year-long staple.
While Disney parks are renowned for their extravagant celebrations across the globe, Christmas remains a standout occasion—and now, its magic will linger all year long at Disneyland Paris.
Similar to Magic Kingdom Park, one of the highlights of the Disney Enchanted Christmas celebration at Disneyland Paris is the regular fall of “snoap” (AKA fake snow made of soap) on Main Street, U.S.A.
This typically only features from November through January, disappearing at the same time as the Christmas tree and festive parade. As of this week, however, Disneyland Paris has made snoap a year-round feature.
Disney Park Introduces Year-Round Snoap
On January 10, the park debuted its latest nighttime spectacular, Disney Tales of Magic, which replaces Disney Illuminations and the fan-favorite Disney Electrical Sky Parade.
During the Beauty and the Beast (1991) segment of the show, guests on Main Street, U.S.A. are treated to a flurry of faux snow—a charming touch that will now be available every evening.

As shown in a video from DLP Report, the snoap falls while drones recreate the iconic rose from Beauty and the Beast in the sky above Sleeping Beauty Castle. The segment is set to an instrumental version of the track “Beauty and the Beast.”
Disney Tales of Magic
Introduced as a replacement for Disney Illuminations and its drone pre-show Disney Electrical Sky Parade, Disney Tales of Magic has quickly garnered acclaim for its innovative use of pyrotechnics, drones, and state-of-the-art projection mapping—marking the first time Disneyland Paris has extended its projection technology down Main Street, U.S.A.
The show takes audiences on an emotional journey through beloved classics like Cinderella (1950) and Pinocchio (1940), as well as newer favorites such as Encanto (2021) and Lilo & Stitch (2002).
Though Disneyland Paris has faced criticism for its lack of new attractions in recent years, the introduction of Disney Tales of Magic has once again proven that the resort’s true strength lies in entertainment.
From the Disney Electrical Sky Parade (which put a modern spin on the classic Main Street Electrical Parade) to the stage-show TOGETHER: a Pixar Musical Adventure at Walt Disney Studios Park, Disneyland Paris has become increasingly well-known for its immersive offerings.
What do you think of this festive new addition to Disneyland Paris?
