The holiday season in Paris and Île-de-France also lights up the sky with spectacular fireworks displays. Discover the fireworks scheduled for December 2025 to celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve.

December is a magical time of year! In Paris, as in the rest of the Île-de-France region, the magic of the holiday season invites us to enjoy the celebrations in a spirit of joy and good cheer, with wonderful activities for young and old alike. With its Christmas markets, temporary ice rinks, and festive decorations, the Île-de-France region is decked out in lights and becomes an enchanted land that immerses us in a fairy tale. 

Throughout December, fireworks light up the sky during festivities in various towns in the Île-de-France region, often as part of Christmas markets. These fireworks displays, which are often free, serve as a countdown to the grand finale in December: the New Year's Eve show atthe Arc de Triomphe onthe Champs-Elysées.

So, where can you admire a beautiful fireworks display this December 2025 in the Paris region? We take a look at the pyrotechnic shows on the program, to marvel at until the end of the year.
