Disney World is giving some of its most loyal visitors a little extra Christmas cheer this year, but not everyone will have access to the latest holiday offerings.
As the resort prepares for weeks of festive celebrations, Disney has revealed two new opportunities exclusively for Annual Passholders.
Both involve limited holiday offerings at two popular theme parks, and one comes with additional admission requirements.
For Passholders hoping to take advantage of these additions, knowing where and when to shop will make all the difference.
Christmas Celebrations Return Across Disney World
The holidays are nearly here, and Walt Disney World is preparing to transform its four theme parks with seasonal entertainment, decorations, and special experiences.
Magic Kingdom will host Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on select evenings from November 8 through December 22, 2026.
Guests attending the separately ticketed celebration can enjoy Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, complimentary holiday treats, and appearances by Disney characters.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will bring back Disney Jollywood Nights, another after-hours celebration featuring themed entertainment and character interactions.
Over at EPCOT, the International Festival of the Holidays begins November 27, bringing seasonal dishes, international traditions, and the Candlelight Processional.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom also participates with Merry Menagerie, featuring winter-inspired animal puppets on Discovery Island. After sunset, Tree of Life Awakenings Holiday Edition adds festive projections and music.
While these experiences give visitors plenty to enjoy, Annual Passholders will have a few additional purchasing opportunities.
A Special Christmas Collection Comes to Magic Kingdom
Disney has announced two exclusive souvenirs for Annual Passholders attending Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
The collection includes a long-sleeve holiday shirt featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse dressed in Christmas outfits.
Wrapped presents, decorated trees, and other festive details surround the characters. The artwork also features a Passholder banner and the Christmas party’s name.
A matching collectible pin uses the same design in green-and-gold.
Both items will be sold at the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A., but there’s an important catch.
Annual Passholders cannot simply enter Magic Kingdom during the day and purchase the merchandise.
Disney will offer these products only during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, meaning eligible buyers must have valid admission to the separately ticketed event.
Passholders must also present their Annual Pass ID through My Disney Experience and government-issued photo identification.
Disney has not revealed prices for either item, and availability will depend on supplies.
Other guests can attend the Christmas party, but they won’t qualify to purchase these Passholder-exclusive souvenirs.
EPCOT Offers Something Different for Passholders
The second holiday offering takes visitors to EPCOT, where Disney is introducing a seasonal dessert with a collectible souvenir cup.
Starting November 27, Annual Passholders can purchase the Raspberry Sleigh during EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.
The dessert features DOLE Whip Raspberry topped with chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, and a chocolate jingle bell.
Disney will serve the treat in a special cup featuring Figment wearing his blue holiday sweater.
Gold lettering on the opposite side identifies the cup as a Festival of the Holidays Passholder exclusive.
Visitors can find the Raspberry Sleigh at Refreshment Outpost, between the China and Germany pavilions in World Showcase.
Unlike the Magic Kingdom souvenirs, this purchase doesn’t require admission to a separately ticketed holiday party.
Eligible Passholders can visit during regular EPCOT hours and purchase the dessert throughout the festival, which ends December 30.
Other visitors can still access Refreshment Outpost, but the exclusive offering is reserved for qualifying Passholders.
Annual Passholders Can Find Additional Holiday Savings
These announcements add to the benefits Disney already provides its Annual Passholders.
Depending on eligibility, Passholders can receive discounts on select dining, merchandise, resort accommodations, and special events.
Eligible Passholders can also save $10 on Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party tickets for certain dates.
Those savings may come in handy during the holiday season, especially for guests buying Christmas presents or enjoying meals around the resort.
However, Disney’s usual restrictions still apply, including applicable blockout dates, reservation requirements, and discount exclusions.
Disney Adds Another Reason to Visit This Christmas
Neither new offering is complimentary, and the exclusive purchasing rules don’t prevent other guests from attending the holiday celebrations or visiting the participating locations.
Still, for Annual Passholders already planning Christmas visits, these additions offer another way to enjoy the season and bring home a festive souvenir.
