One of the best (and most crowded) times of year to go to a Disney park is during the holiday season. While it can be overwhelming, there's nothing quite like spending Christmas at the most magical place on Earth.
INSIDER rounded up 21 of the most festive photos of holiday celebrations in Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, from Christmas parties for kids to special holiday fireworks and parades.
We challenge you not to book a last-minute holiday trip to a Disney theme park after checking out these magical pictures.

Disney at Christmastime is actually the most magical place on Earth.

The tree at the front of Main Street, U.S.A is 65 feet tall!
Main Street in the Magic Kingdom is decorated from top to bottom.

Disney World's decorations start going up immediately after Halloween, and practically every inch of the Magic Kingdom is decked out.
Even the Tower of Terror is lit up for Disney's Hollywood Studios Christmas celebrations.

Sadly, the last "Osbourne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights" show ended in 2016 (though we're hoping it comes back), but Disney World is launching new Christmas shows at Disney's Hollywood Studios, including a holiday lighting of the Tower of Terror, fake flurries of snow, and "Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam" (a new fireworks show).
