Holiday Popcorn Buckets
Holiday Train Bucket. Mickey rides in the cab of a mint green, white and red engine, wearing his Santa hat with presents piled around him and a bell behind the smokestack. The side panel shows Pluto in antlers next to a reindeer. At Walt Disney World, the train is a party exclusive, sold at select outdoor vending locations in Magic Kingdom during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starting November 8. It includes popcorn. The party runs 25 nights through Tuesday, December 22, and several nights are already sold out. Disneyland Resort is getting a light-up Mickey train bucket this season too.
Toy Story Gingerbread House Bucket. Woody, in a Santa hat and white beard, stands with Bo Peep in front of a gingerbread house with an icing roof and candy-striped corners. A Little Green Alien in a Santa hat sits by the chimney, Bo’s sheep wear snowman hats and a stack of alphabet blocks sits at the side. It includes popcorn and goes on sale November 6 at select outdoor vending locations in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with no party ticket needed.
Holiday Christmas Tree Truck Bucket. This one returns from last season, when it was a party exclusive. In 2025, the truck sold for $29 at Magic Kingdom only during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, as we covered last year. For 2026 it moves to select outdoor vending locations at Disney’s Animal Kingdom starting November 6, so a regular park ticket is all you need. Mickey drives the red truck in a Santa hat and checked scarf, Goofy rides in the back hugging a lit Christmas tree, and Chip ‘n’ Dale hang on near the top. It includes popcorn.
Stitch Sipper, Straw Clips and a Souvenir Cocktail
Stitch Christmas Tree Sipper. Stitch pokes out of a Christmas tree costume with a star on top, chomping a candy cane, with colored bulbs on the tree and red boots at the bottom. It is the easiest item on the list to find, sold in all four parks starting November 6, and it includes any fountain beverage.
- Magic Kingdom: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café
- EPCOT: Connections Eatery and Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Fairfax Fare, ABC Commissary, Backlot Express and select outdoor vending locations
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Select outdoor vending locations
Holiday Wreath Straw Clip. Minnie Mouse in a Santa hat peeks out of a green wreath trimmed with ornaments, hanging from a gold clasp. It is sold at Casey’s Corner during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starting November 8, and you can add it to any non-alcoholic beverage for an extra charge.
Holiday Kermit Straw Clip. Kermit the Frog wears a Santa hat and carries an armful of presents on a red clip. It is a Disney Jollywood Nights exclusive starting November 7 at Rosie’s All-American Café and Catalina Eddie’s on Sunset Boulevard, and you can add it to any non-alcoholic beverage.
The Bauble & Bright. This Jollywood Nights cocktail mixes Dwayne Johnson’s Teremana Blanco Tequila with Grand Marnier, white cranberry juice, glitter simple syrup and lime juice, garnished with cranberries. It comes in a souvenir cup shaped like a Christmas ornament with a gold cap. Disney’s photo shows the Disney Jollywood Nights logo on one cup and the Disney’s Hollywood Studios logo on the other. Find it at the Tune-In Lounge next to 50’s Prime Time Café starting November 7, on Jollywood Nights only.
We are excited for the Christmas bulb-looking drinks at Jollywood Nights. The Mickey Christmas Tree Truck was available in 2025 during the holidays, and we loved playing with it. The tires move, you can pull it back and it goes forward, and it lights up. But the Mickey train is what we are most excited about. Nothing says Disney like Mickey Mouse on a train!
The first holiday buckets arrive Friday, November 6. To see how this lineup compares with last season, check out every holiday popcorn bucket from 2025
