This Year’s Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House Revealed

Those master chefs and artists at the Disneyland Resort have revealed the spectacular new gingerbread house that will be featured in this year’s Haunted Mansion Holiday, opening today at Disneyland Park.

What’s Happening:

  • Today marks the debut of this year’s Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay at Disneyland Park, which many fans will know means there is also the debut of a brand new gingerbread house centerpiece in the ballroom scene of the attraction.
  • This one is a remarkable step up from years past, with lighting effects as well as animation as a Frankenstein’s Monster-esque creature comes to life.
  • Fans and Disneyland regulars will be quick to remind you that every year there is a new and different Gingerbread House that sits upon the table in the iconic ballroom scene of the Haunted Mansion, which takes on a new life over the holidays, decking their halls with theming inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
