The holiday season is upon us, with Halloween just a few days away, Thanksgiving right around the corner, and Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and other December holidays coming soon thereafter. Disneyland Resort is highlighting a variety of holiday gifts and exclusive merchandise for the 2026 season, including personalized souvenirs, Disney Christmas collectibles and new Star Wars toys. Several of the offerings can only be purchased or customized at the resort, with some available without theme park admission. The winter holiday season is my favorite time of the year at the Disneyland parks, as everything is infused with holiday cheer.
Personalized Souvenirs Are Great Options for Unique Disney Gifts
Guests looking for personalized gifts can commission hand-drawn artwork at Off the Page or Knick’s Knacks in Disney California Adventure, or have caricatures created in New Orleans Square at Disneyland and at Kamman’s Art Shoppes, Inc. Caricatures at Downtown Disney, which doesn’t require park admission. Crystal Arts and Cristal d’Orleans also offer engraved gifts and crystal keepsakes, while guests can customize select Mickey ear headbands, hats and other items with embroidery at The Mad Hatter (Disneyland), Kingswell Shop (California Adventure) and Disney’s Fantasia Shop at the Disneyland Hotel. I highly recommend the clothing embroidery option as a great way to take something you like and make it your own. Last year, my family bought some personalized hoodie sweatshirts at The Mad Hatter and they’re some of our favorite Disney products today.
For a holiday keepsake, Plaza Point on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland Park offers personalized, hand-painted ornaments. Guests can also find Mickey Mouse and Family Christmas merchandise, including a Christmas Spirit Jersey, Christmas Headband and Christmas Snow Globe Bubbler, at World of Disney at Downtown Disney District, Emporium in Disneyland Park, and Elias & Co. in Disney California Adventure. The Christmas collection is so fun and I’ll definitely be heading over soon to check out all the new merch.
New Star Wars Holiday Gifts Arrive at Disneyland
Star Wars fans will have several new collectibles to look forward to this holiday season. Two interactive toys featuring Grogu and a Huttlet are arriving at Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Both feature expressive eyes, motorized facial expressions and character sounds. I saw both of these collectibles in person at D23 and they’re pretty epic.
Another new holiday collectible is Darth on the Hearth, which features Darth Vader wearing a festive hat and cape while holding a candy cane. Perfect if your Elf on the Shelf needs some Dark Side company.
The holiday merchandise and personalized gift options are available at various locations throughout Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney District and the Disneyland Hotel. Availability varies by location, and theme park admission is required for shops located inside the parks.
Reminder that this is the last week to enjoy Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort through October 31 before the parks transition fully into the holiday season.
