The first Disneyland holiday celebration was in 1955, when Walt Disney placed a Christmas tree in the Hub at the north end of Main Street, U.S.A., near Sleeping Beauty Castle. For many years now, the tree has been located in Town Square near the Main Street Disneyland Railroad Station.

One of the neatest things about the holiday season at Disneyland during the 1960s was the annual Christmas Star placed atop the lofty peak of the Matterhorn. Spanning 24 feet across and illuminated at night, the star could easily be seen for miles. This publicity image of Santa guiding the star into place appeared in newspapers in December 1963.

Walt is seen here with the scale model for the 1964-65 New York Worlds Fair “Carousel of Progress.” Premiering as part of the Progress City exhibit, the attraction moved to Disneyland after the fair closed, then later on to Walt Disney World.
