The holidays are still a few months away, but guess what? Macy’s and Disney just dropped their new 2026 collection, and it’s already getting us excited for all the festive fun – especially the shopping!
New York City and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade go way back, all the way to 1924. This year’s collection draws inspiration from that long history, celebrating Disney’s incredible connection with Macy’s. You’ll spot beloved character balloons from past parades, including a brand-new Disney balloon making its debut!
The 2026 parade isn’t just any parade – it’s the 100th march, and we’re getting a brand-new Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey balloon! This collection perfectly captures how Disney characters have evolved over the years, filled with nostalgic touches and commemorative charm that celebrate a century of Macy’s and Disney memories.
The collection features everything from apparel and accessories to fantastic collectibles, with contributions from popular brands like Citizen, Crocs, Hallmark, Loungefly, and Swarovski. You can grab some select pieces right now on macys.com, and the full lineup hits Macy’s stores across the country later this fall.
Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Takes Center Stage in the New Collection
Before Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey soars high above the streets of NYC on Thanksgiving Day, he’s making his grand debut in this merchandise collection! We’re thrilled to see him featured on everything from cool collectibles to super cozy pajamas.
Our top pick is definitely the Disney and Macy’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Sweatshirt. It tells a beautiful story of Mickey Mouse through the decades, from his first appearance in 1934 all the way to his new role as Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey for the 2026 parade. The gray base gives it a cool, retro vibe, highlighted by vibrant red, blue, and yellow accents.
Want to complete the look? There’s even a matching ear headband that shows Mickey’s evolution in the parade over the years – how sweet is that?
For a subtle nod to Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey’s parade debut, check out this black Adult Sweatshirt. It features shiny gold Macy’s 100th Parade logo alongside Mickey, with a touch of sparkle.
And don’t forget the little ones! A coordinating Toddler and Little Kids T-shirt is also available.
Drift off to dreamland with the Satin Sleep Sets for men and women. These feature a beautiful dark color, bringing Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey’s magic to your bedtime. You’ll find Mickey printed across the fabric or on the front pocket, depending on your chosen style. Plus, that silky texture promises a truly restful sleep – perhaps even with dreams of dancing broomsticks!
For the smallest Disney fans, the Toddler and Little Kids Set Sleep Set highlights the new Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey balloon. This matching top and bottom set will send your little ones straight to dreamland.
The ultimate cozy touch? The Toddler and Little Kids Plush Robe! It comes in a lovely light blue with the Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey balloon artwork, and even has magical Mickey Mouse ears on the hood. How adorable!
With these pajamas, the parade magic can continue all night long for everyone!
One of the first Mickey Mouse ear headbands we spotted is the stunning Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Ear Headband. It’s perfect for anyone who loves that enchanting look, featuring sparkling stars, the gorgeous new balloon, and that iconic blue hat right in the middle.
Now, let’s talk about bags – who doesn’t love a great bag? If you’re a fan of Loungefly Mini Backpacks, you’ll be happy to know there are multiple characters to choose from, including Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey. You can also snag a mini backpack bag charm – perfect if you can’t pick just one character! Keep an eye out for the full collection.
Thanksgiving reminds us to appreciate joy and togetherness. This majestic velvet Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Journal helps you capture those thoughts. It’s a commemorative collectible, featuring the Macy’s 100th Parade logo on its spine.
For the imaginative kids, the Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Kids Dress Up Set, Kids Play Tent, or Fantasma Magic Set will let them embody this magical (and sometimes mischievous) mouse.
For many of us, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a cherished family tradition, whether we watched it on TV or experienced it live in New York City. Now, Disney fans can celebrate this incredible milestone anniversary with a collection that pays tribute to the characters who made the parade so unforgettable, all while looking ahead to new magic.
We’ll keep you updated as more of this fantastic product assortment gets revealed over the coming months – trust us, it’s worth the wait!
