First look at the 2026 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party merchandise

Disney has shared the first look at the 2026 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party merchandise — and the one thing it has not shared is a single price.

The party-exclusive items go on sale at the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A. during the event, which runs on select nights from November 8 through December 22, 2026 at Magic Kingdom.

Quick Summary

  • First look at the 2026 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party merchandise collection
  • Items include a pullover, multiple tees, a Spirit Jersey, two ear headbands, an ornament, and a magnet picture frame
  • Sold at the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A. during the party
  • Party runs November 8 through December 22, 2026 on select nights
  • Hours are 7 pm to midnight, with Magic Kingdom entry as early as 4 pm
  • Tickets are $189 to $229 per person plus tax, depending on the date
  • Disney has not released prices for any of the merchandise

The Collection

Pullover

The Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Pullover features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and other holiday characters getting ready for the festivities. The version Disney showed is red, with a retro Cinderella Castle graphic on the left chest.

Tees

The tee shirts show elves, reindeer, Mickey, and Minnie making a list and checking it twice. Disney showed several variations:

  • A green tee with Mickey, Minnie, and Santa on the front chest
  • A red tee with a Mickey head silhouette filled with holiday patchwork graphics on the left chest
  • A red tee with Mickey, Minnie, a reindeer, and an elf in an Once Upon A Christmastime Parade graphic on the back, plus Magic Kingdom sleeve text
  • A green tee with elves, a reindeer, a rocking horse, and Cinderella Castle on the back

Spirit Jersey

A red long-sleeve Spirit Jersey with Mickey, Minnie, and holiday characters on the back graphic, with Magic Kingdom text below.

Ear Headbands

Two designs this year, both using what Disney describes as mistletoe and peppermint colors, and both designed to pair with the pullover and tees:

  • Minnie on the left ear, Mickey in holiday attire on the right, red and white candy cane stripe bow with holly detail
  • A toy soldier on the left ear, the event logo on the right, same candy cane bow

Ornament

Mickey and Minnie in holiday attire in front of a Christmas tree, with a glittery snowflake base and a red hanging ribbon.

Magnet Picture Frame

A Very Merry-themed magnet frame in a red design with a 2″ x 3″ photo opening — built for the party photos you take that night.

The Parade Tee Is the One to Watch

Most of this collection is generic holiday Disney: Mickey, Minnie, elves, reindeer, castle. Nice, but interchangeable with any year.

The exception is the red tee with the Once Upon A Christmastime Parade back graphic. That is a specific reference to a specific piece of party entertainment — the parade is one of the main reasons people buy a Very Merry ticket at all, and it only runs during the party.

A shirt that references the thing you can only see with the ticket you bought is a better souvenir than a shirt that says “Christmas.” If one item in this collection sells out first, that is my bet.

The magnet picture frame is the other smart inclusion — it is explicitly designed around an action you are already going to take that night.

About Those Missing Prices

Disney released photos and descriptions and no numbers. That is normal for a first look, but it leaves the practical question unanswered.

For a reference point, party-exclusive apparel at Walt Disney World has historically sat in the same bands as regular park merchandise — spirit jerseys and pullovers at the high end, tees in the middle, ornaments and small items lower. Ear headbands have crept up steadily in recent years. None of that is a prediction for this specific collection, and I would not budget off it.

What is confirmed is the ticket price: $189 to $229 per person plus tax, depending on the date.

Party Details

  • Dates: November 8 through December 22, 2026, select nights
  • Hours: 7 pm to midnight
  • Early entry: You can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 pm with a party ticket
  • Tickets: $189 to $229 per person plus tax, by date
  • Merchandise location: the Emporium, Main Street, U.S.A., during the event

That 4 pm entry is the most underrated part of a Very Merry ticket. It is three extra hours of Magic Kingdom on a day you did not need a separate park ticket for, and the standby lines in that window are often shorter than a normal afternoon.

Practical Notes

Shop early in the night, not late. The Emporium at 11 pm on a December party night is picked over. Popular sizes in the pullover and Spirit Jersey go first.

Party-exclusive means party-exclusive. These items are sold during the event. Do not plan to come back for them on a regular park day.

Sizes, not styles, are the usual problem. Disney rarely runs out of a design entirely, but mid-range adult sizes disappear on the busy December nights.

The Bottom Line

A pullover, several tees, a Spirit Jersey, two ear headbands, an ornament, and a magnet frame — all party-exclusive at the Emporium, November 8 through December 22.

No prices yet. The Once Upon A Christmastime Parade tee is the most interesting piece in the collection, and the one worth grabbing early.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who. We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions. On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over. He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip. Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had. Will most definitely be using him again. He took care of everything and kept me on track. Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything. Can't thank him enough. He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
