Earlier today, the Disney Parks Blog celebrated the end of Halloween and the official start of the Christmas season with a look at some of the new merchandise collections available at the Parks and shopDisney. While there’s so much to choose from here at home, Disney Parks around the world are also celebrating the winter holidays.
What’s Happening:
- It may be nearly two months until December 25th, but for Disney fans and retailers, we’re already thinking, “let it snow!” And Disney Parks and resorts across the globe are ready to welcome the holidays with their own holly jolly collections.
- Along with Disneyland and Walt Disney World, Aulani, Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort are celebrating the most wonderful time of the year.
- These festive styles and home decorations will be rolling out at shops and parks over the next few weeks giving guests plenty of time to complete their holiday shopping.
- Below are some of the new items being offered across the international resorts during the winter holidays.
Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa
Aulani Resort will celebrate the season with its “Aloha Kalikimaka” holiday merchandise. The word “aloha” can be translated several ways and one meaning is: “may there be friendship and love or affection between us.” ”Kalikimaka” is the word for “Christmas” and together, the sentiment is a way to express the love and affection of “Merry Christmas” in the Hawaiian language or ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i.
Tokyo Disney Resort:
Tokyo Disneyland will share a variety of plush badges, sweets, and other festive items inspired by “Disney Christmas Stories.”
Over at Tokyo DisneySea, guests can shop plush badges and a tote bag featuring Mickey Mouse and his friends in “It’s Christmas Time!” costumes.
Also, a new Christmas fairy, Lil’ Linlin, will be making an appearance at Tokyo Disney Resort for the first time!

Disneyland Paris guests love Parc Disneyland’s parades! This year they’ll have the opportunity to add a replica of the “Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade” float to their collection.
Those decorating their trees with a rustic fair will love the forest-inspired Christmas ornaments designed by the Disneyland Paris design teams.
After decorating the tree, guests can sip on a variety of seasonal teas with Disneyland Paris’ Tea Advent Calendar that features teas and infusions of plants and spices with organic essential oils.
And finally, the new Holiday Spirit Jersey and gold edition Minnie ear headband are the must-have fashion accessories for the season!
