The Final List Walt Disney World Popcorn Buckets for 2025! As 2025 draws to a close, Walt Disney World is sending the year out with a bang and a barrel of popcorn! From exclusive holiday novelties to year-round collector’s items, the final list of available popcorn buckets and sippers across all four parks offers something for every Disney fan. While many holiday-themed items are expected to disappear by early January 2026, guests visiting this December have one last chance to snag these coveted souvenirs.
Guests are advised that most of the seasonal items, specifically the Holiday Christmas Tree Truck, Santa Sully, Mickey Elf, Gold Musical Spinning Tin, and the Mickey Toy Soldier Drummer Sipper, are expected to be phased out by early January 2026. Popcorn buckets are typically limited to two per person, per transaction, and are available only while supplies last.
The following is the definitive, park-by-park list of specialty popcorn buckets and sippers available at Walt Disney World in December 2025, just before most seasonal items are expected to be retired for the year.
Magic Kingdom: The Holiday Must-Haves
The Magic Kingdom is home to the most exclusive bucket of the season: the Holiday Christmas Tree Truck Popcorn Bucket. This new 2025 design features an iconic red delivery truck driven by Mickey Mouse, carrying Goofy, Chip & Dale, and a Christmas tree adorned with working lights. Currently priced $29.00, its exclusivity to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party makes it a difficult find, though leftovers have occasionally been sold during regular daytime hours in the final weeks of December.
Easier to acquire, but just as charming, is the Santa Sully Popcorn Bucket. Featuring Sully from Monsters, Inc. in a Santa hat with a sack containing a peeking Mike Wazowski, this festive Pixar novelty is available at popcorn stands throughout the park. In a rare move for a park novelty, it was also made available for purchase online at the Disney Store this year, though availability is limited.
Finally, the park shares the popular Mickey Toy Soldier Drummer Sipper with EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. This sipper, last priced at $24.49, features Drummer Mickey with moveable arms and can be found at locations like Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café.
Hollywood Studios: Timeless Villains and Rotating Tins
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has catered to the seasonal and year-round collector with its eclectic mix. The popular after-hours holiday event novelties are still on sale, including Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington Gravestone Bucket (around $26.29) and the reversible-headed Mayor Sipper ($18.08).
For a touch of traditional holiday sparkle, the Gold Musical Spinning Popcorn Tin is only available here. This returning favorite, the inverse design of 2022’s red tin, rotates and plays music, adding a nostalgic flair to any collection. Last year’s price was $27.25. The park also carries the widely available Mickey Toy Soldier Drummer Sipper at spots like the ABC Commissary.
EPCOT: Festive Character Finds
EPCOT is the place to find the cheerful Mickey Elf Popcorn Bucket. This returning bucket, featuring Mickey in his holiday elf attire, was last priced at $27.25 and is available at various popcorn carts across the park. Its seasonal nature means its time is almost up.
Guests looking for a permanent park souvenir can also find the Spaceship Earth Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket ($26.00), a unique design shaped like the iconic geodesic sphere, often sold near the park’s main entrance. The Mickey Toy Soldier Drummer Sipper is also featured here at locations like Connections Eatery.
Animal Kingdom: Popcorn Meets the Wild
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has debuted a series of fresh, non-holiday designs in the latter half of 2025 that continue to draw crowds. The Zootopia Better Zoogether Popcorn Bucket ($28.00) and the pair of The Lion King novelties—the Scar Popcorn Bucket ($26.63) and the Ed the Hyena Sipper $19.48) —remain staples at various carts throughout the park.
