Jollywood Nights 2025 Recycled Disney Halloween Popcorn Buckets Lack Holiday Cheer. Popcorn Bucket and Sipper for Jollywood Nights 2025 were announced today and are simply re-released items from the Halloween season. Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Mayor Sipper and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington Gravestone Bucket were both released exclusively for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party back in August.
These were then released to every guest visiting Magic Kingdom a few weeks ago. Now they will be available again during Jollywood Nights 2025. While the party does feature a “What’s This?” Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along show, the use of pumpkin and graveyard imagery does not make sense. I know, this brings up the debate, is Nightmare Before Xmas a Christmas movie or a Halloween Movie?
Snacks and Treats have been given a fresh holiday redesign, which you can read about here. The use of fall items for a premium holiday event has led us to believe Disney is simply trying to sell stock that is left over from the Halloween season. Guests paying the elevated ticket price expect unique, festive items, not old inventory.
Collectors, who love collecting Disney Popcorn Buckets, should be disappointed. Fans know that original holiday-themed buckets are ready, noting that Disney Eats revealed a new Mickey Holiday Truck Holiday Popcorn Bucket at the recent D23 event.
The Jollywood Nights Popcorn Bucket and Sipper lineup includes items with a clear link to the fall:
- Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mayor Sipper (Available at Rosie’s All-American Café and Dockside Diner)
- Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington Gravestone Bucket (Available at popcorn carts)
Not only are we collectors, but we have also built a business around writing about Popcorn Buckets. This is disappointing even with this being the first time popcorn buckets and sippers will be available during Jollywood Nights. But, do not think we won’t be at Jollywood Nights 2025 opening night in our best outfits, enjoying everything the party has to offer!
In 2024, Disney Eats and Disney Parks released so many great Disney Holiday Popcorn Buckets, we had The Mickey Elf Popcorn Bucket, Santa Sully Popcorn Bucket, Regular Popcorn Bucket Holiday Themed, Gold Musical Spinning Popcorn Tin, and the viral Mickey and Minnie Gingerbread House Popcorn Bucket.
