'''Christmas Town''' is an expanded part of [[Halloween Town]] added in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', located through a door in the Hinterlands. Although it is a world of its own story-wise<ref>'''''The Nightmare before Christmas''''': For the story you're about to be told began with the holiday worlds of auld. Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't I'd say its time you begun for the holidays are the result of much fuss and hard work for the worlds that create them for us."</ref>, it is recognized as a part of Halloween Town, as shown under the location title as the player proceeds through the areas.

As a special world, it represents the holiday of Christmas. Once a year, the ruler [[Santa Claus]] will travel throughout the universe to give presents to children named on his nice-list.

[[Oogie Boogie]] and [[The Experiment]] are fought here respectively during the first and second visits to Halloween Town.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the normal and battle music of Christmas Town were the same as Halloween Town. However, in the ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' version, Christmas Town gained new pieces: ''What A Surprise!'' and ''Happy Holidays!'', respectively. They both were included on the ninth disc of the [[Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack Complete]].

==Settings and Areas==
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Hinterlands will take characters to '''Yuletide Hill''', which they can travel down the '''Candy Cane Lane''' to reach '''Christmas Town'''. In Christmas Town, characters can visit with Santa Claus himself in '''Santa's House''' and explore the '''Shipping & Receiving''' and '''Wrapping Rooms''' of the '''Toy Factory'''. Late in the game, characters can also go by '''Christmas Tree Plaza''' to fight a boss battle.

==Character Design==
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Sora, Donald and Goofy lose their Halloween Town garb and gain Christmas-themed forms instead. Sora retains his vampire form but the garb is replaced by a black Santa suit. Unlike Sora, however, Donald and Goofy completely lose all traces of their Halloween Town forms, becoming a snowman and reindeer, respectively.
