The holiday season is all about festive fun, and one Disney Park guest took a unique approach to indulging in the Christmas magic—playfully “threatening” characters during A Christmas Fantasy Parade at Disneyland Park. A viral video of the mischievous moment has captured the attention of Disney Parks fans online.
Gingerbread Hijinks Go Viral
Instagram user @main_street_duo shared a video showing their cheeky interaction during Disneyland Park’s beloved holiday parade. As the guest enjoyed a Mickey Mouse-shaped gingerbread cookie along Main Street, U.S.A., the parade’s gingerbread characters and their accompanying bakers walked by.

“Cookie, look away! Look away!” one baker exclaimed while guiding a gingerbread character away from the guest. The other performers, entirely in character, looked horrified as the Disney Park guest bit the cookie’s head off.
The hilarious moment didn’t go unnoticed. The video amassed nearly three million likes, and Disney Parks fans couldn’t stop talking about the creative, in-character reactions of the Disney cast members.
“The girl looking at you with that °O° face made my day,” @essieverse commented. “…She was so in character.”
“A true menace to the gingerbread society,” joked @donnierodriguez.
One fan on Reddit jokingly called the guest a “monster.” Others praised the Disney cast members for their dedication to keeping the magic alive.
“Seeing things like this gives me a glimmer of hope that the magic is not completely gone,” said Redditor u/psychotic_parakeet. “Well done!”
A Tradition Eight Years in the Making
As it turns out, this wasn’t the guest’s first time stirring up gingerbread drama during A Christmas Fantasy Parade. In another post, @main_street_duo revealed that they recreated a moment from 2016, their first Christmas together at Disneyland Park.

“We redownloaded Snapchat to see if we could recover some old photos/videos from our early years together and it worked!” they wrote. “This video is from our first Christmas together in 2016. We thought it would be funny if we ate a gingerbread cookie during the bakery portion of A Christmas Fantasy Parade. The gingerbread man was speechless, and one of the bakers could be heard screaming, ‘NOOOOO!'”
Eight years later, the playful tradition returned, bringing joy to Disney Park guests and characters alike. “After 8 years, we finally recreated our favorite video!” the guest joked.
