The Toy Story Gingerbread House Bucket
Let’s start with the one we’re most excited about. The Toy Story Gingerbread House Bucket launches November 6, and honestly, a Toy Story gingerbread house just sounds adorable.
You can grab it at select outdoor vending spots in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It comes with popcorn when you buy it, so you get a snack and a souvenir. Win-win.
Stitch Got a Christmas Tree Sipper
Stitch is everywhere this holiday season, and now he’s got his own Christmas tree sipper. It also launches November 6 and comes with any fountain drink.
Here’s the best part. You can find it in all four parks. At Magic Kingdom, head to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café. At EPCOT, it’s at Connections Eatery and Regal Eagle Smokehouse. Over at Hollywood Studios, check Fairfax Fare, ABC Commissary, Backlot Express, and some outdoor carts. And at Animal Kingdom, look for select outdoor vending spots.
Since it’s in every park, it might be a little easier to snag than some of the others. Might.
A Christmas Tree Truck Bucket for Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom is getting its own holiday bucket too. The Holiday Christmas Tree Truck Bucket launches November 6 at select outdoor vending locations, and it comes with popcorn. A little truck hauling a Christmas tree? Super cute and very cozy.
Kermit Is Getting Festive
Muppets fans, here’s yours. The Holiday Kermit Straw Clip launches November 7 at Rosie’s All-American Café and Catalina Eddie’s in Hollywood Studios.
But here’s the catch. It’s only available during Disney Jollywood Nights, so you’ll need a party ticket to get it. You can add it to any non-alcoholic drink.
A Sparkly Cocktail for the Grown-Ups
If you’re 21 and up and heading to Jollywood Nights, there’s a festive cocktail called The Bauble & Bright. It’s made with Teremana Blanco Tequila, Grand Marnier, white cranberry juice, glitter simple syrup, and lime juice, then topped with cranberries.
And yes, it comes in a souvenir cup while supplies last. Grab it at Tune-In Lounge starting November 7. Glitter syrup in a holiday cocktail? We’re very intrigued.
The Holiday Train Bucket
The Holiday Train Bucket rolls in on November 8 at select outdoor vending spots in Magic Kingdom. It comes with popcorn, but it’s only available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. So again, party ticket required.
The Holiday Wreath Straw Clip
Also launching November 8 is the Holiday Wreath Straw Clip at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom. This one’s a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party exclusive too. You can add it to any non-alcoholic drink for an extra cost.
The Rules
Every single novelty has a limit of two per person, per transaction. And they’re all available while supplies last. Disney hasn’t shared prices yet, so keep an eye out for those.
Wait, Which Ones Need a Party Ticket?
Quick recap so you don’t get stuck. The Holiday Train Bucket and Holiday Wreath Straw Clip are only during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The Holiday Kermit Straw Clip and The Bauble & Bright are only during Disney Jollywood Nights. Everything else is available during regular park hours.
Our Game Plan
Get there early on launch day, because some of these are definitely going to fly off the shelves. Start with the Stitch sipper since it’s in every park. Double-check your party tickets for the exclusive items. And maybe set a budget, because these add up fast. Not that we’ll follow ours.
Happy Novelty Hunting
Between Toy Story, Stitch, Kermit, and a whole lot of holiday cheer, this year’s lineup is seriously fun. Collectors, get ready.
So, which one are you running to grab first?
