Disneyland has so many lovely Christmas decorations that it can be overwhelming to take in all the details.
One thing the resort excels in is its fanciful Christmas trees that pop up all over that placein shops, restaurants, and right at the start of Main Street. The resort has many trees, and whether they are used purely for decoration or to help sell beautiful Christmas ornaments, each tree has a flavor of the land in which they are displayed.
Let's start with the most magnificent tree in Disneylandthe Main Street Christmas tree. This is one of the few live Christmas trees, and certainly the largest at 65 feet. The tree comes down from the Northern California area, and somehow manages to stay fresh for the weeks it is displayed.

This year the tree is not flocked in white as it has been in the past, giving it a more natural look.

Year after year, you can spot the same ornaments on the tree, as well as the large gifts and toys under the tree. But now and then there's a surprisethis year, just out of reach are beautiful Santas around the middle of the enormous tree.

Main Street shops have an abundance of trees, some to sell ornaments, and some just to look pretty and add to the particular theming of each shop.
One of the first trees put up to signal the holiday is the Coke Corner tree, simple and cheery in its red and silver Coca-Cola colors.

and old-fashioned glass balls. For a nominal fee, the Disney Showcase
will even personalize almost any ornament bought at the resort. Photo

Evergreen trees encircle the Central Plaza hub and the Walt and Mickey Partners statue, and are among the few trees that are not artificial.

The Christopher Radko shop has Christmas trees all year, and this tiny shop tucked away in New Orleans Square has some breathtaking ornaments hanging from their branches.

For guests who are interested in taking a Disney tree home, the Radko shop displays an incredible tree-shaped musical cookie jar. It can be yours for a mere $475.

La Boutique de Noel is another appealing Christmas shop, carrying various character ornaments in all price ranges. Christmas trees are on every wall, and have all the newest ornaments of the season.

Moving on to Toon Town, the most special residents of the community proudly display trees in their front yards.

versions of the glass Mickey balls that are sold throughout the park.

it's a small world is not the only attraction to receive a holiday spruce-up. Some of the homes in the Storybook Land Canal Boats attraction have miniature trees in their front yards, which look very festive, especially at night.
Although you can see the little trees from Fantasyland's Casey Jr. Circus
Train, a closer view is available from the Storybook Land Canal Boats.

Heading down to Critter Country, the Christmas tree at Pooh Corner is flocked and dripping with enough 100 Acre Woods ornaments to satisfy most Pooh fans.

The World of Disney store just outside the park deserves some mention for its spectacularly themed trees amid the merchandise. As you enter the store, the Belle Tree is crammed with objects from the Beast's castle, and includes a large framed portrait of the happy couple.

The last tree is truly a child's dream come true, with all the Toy Story characters perched on the branches.
