    My personal favorite is the new Holiday Crewneck. It features Mickey and friends playing in a snowy scene, wrapping right around the design – perfect for showing off your festive spirit! Don’t miss the Peppermint Pull Over Hoodie for a classic, sweet look, or the Holiday Lights Zip Up Hoodie with its fun string lights and Santa hat details.

    Jolly Jewelry and Accessories

    For those of us who love to add a little sparkle to our park day outfits, the new holiday jewelry and accessories are a must-see! Imagine pairing the Snowflake Mickey Mouse Earrings with the Holiday Earring Set for a dazzling ear stack.

    But my top pick? The Gingerbread Earrings and Bracelet! These feature adorable dangling gingerbread cookies, complete with their own tiny Mickey ear hats, plus candy canes and snowflakes. So cute!

    If jewelry isn’t quite your thing, don’t worry. You’ll find plenty of other ways to boost your holiday look. Think classic red and green with the Candy Cane Ear Headband, or light up your day with the Holiday Lights Baseball Hat, available with either a Disneyland or Disney World logo.

    Merry Ornaments and Home Decor

    Who doesn’t love decorating for the holidays? There’s something truly magical about decking the halls with twinkling lights and festive baubles. And speaking of baubles, the new ornament collection for 2026 looks fantastic!

    I always enjoy finding ornaments that capture a special memory, and Disney always delivers. Expect traditional designs featuring your favorite characters, classic holiday colors, and that nostalgic Disney charm.

    After all that decorating (or just a chilly evening!), snuggle up with the Mickey Mouse and Family Christmas Throw. This super soft blanket shows Mickey and friends enjoying the Disney Parks holiday festivities, keeping you warm with a touch of magic.

    Enchanting Bag Charms, Pins, and Souvenirs

    Souvenirs are essential, especially during the holidays! Whether you’re looking for stocking stuffers or something special to remember your trip, Disney has some great new keepsakes. Bag charms and keychains are always popular, and the new Toy Soldier Mickey and Disney Holiday Headband charms are absolutely adorable.
