Does the castle lighting time change as we get deeper into winter?

I've read its 6:30 every night, but I didn't know if that changed as the winter months come. We will be there in a week. Should I still plan on 6:30?

i could be wrong, but I don't believe it changes. it's timed to take place before MVMCP. and it used to be timed for before Wishes when they ran that before MVMCP.

It is a "set" time of 6:30 throughout the Holidays.Just remember the Castle Dream Lights are not actually lit until the conclusion of Cinderella's Holiday Wish(which begins at 6:30) at 6:38.

And even this time of year it is plenty dark by 6:38. No reason to move it as we get deeper into winter.

Of course, the funny part is that once we actually hit winter, the days start getting longer again.

Yes Dec 21 is the first day of winter, it is the shortest day of the year. Starting on Dec 22 the day light hours will increase by about 2 minutes each day.
