One of the best free holiday traditions at Walt Disney World is coming back! The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll presented by AdventHealth returns November 11, 2026, through January 3, 2027, and this year’s lineup includes three brand new trees, including one starring everyone’s favorite Blue Heeler.
What Is the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll?
The Christmas Tree Stroll is a free holiday scavenger hunt spread across Disney Springs. Elaborately decorated trees inspired by Disney characters, Pixar films, Star Wars and theme park favorites are placed throughout the shopping and dining district. No theme park ticket is needed, so it’s a perfect way to soak up the holiday spirit on a park break day.
How the Map and Prize Work
Start by picking up a free Christmas Tree Stroll map. As you find each tree, match the sticker to its spot on the map. Once your map is complete, return it to one of the participating locations to receive a prize. Maps and prizes are available at:
- City Works Eatery & Pour House
- Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers
- Havaianas
- The LEGO Store
- The Polite Pig
- Hallmark Holiday Pop-Up Shop
If you haven’t stopped by yet, the Hallmark Holiday Pop-Up is now open at Disney Springs, making it an easy place to start your stroll.
Every 2026 Christmas Tree Stroll Theme
Here’s the full list of themed trees for 2026:
- Bluey (New!)
- Disney Villains
- Encanto
- Fantasia
- Frozen
- Monsters, Inc. (New!)
- Lilo & Stitch
- The Lion King
- Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse
- Moana
- The Princess & the Frog
- Star Wars
- Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
- Toy Story
You’ll also find a Disney Cruise Line topiary, a tree honoring Annual Passholders and, new this year, a Hallmark Christmas tree. Flagship trees will also be on display at Town Center, Marketplace and near the Sphere, so be ready for some great holiday photos.
What’s New and What’s Gone
Bluey, Monsters, Inc. and Hallmark are the three new additions for 2026. A couple of favorites from last year didn’t make this year’s list: the Coco and Haunted Mansion trees aren’t part of the 2026 lineup. The Princess & the Frog tree is returning, which feels extra fitting now that The Princess and the Frog is getting a new Disney+ special.
More Holiday Fun at Disney Springs
The Christmas Tree Stroll is just one part of the holidays at Disney Springs. Santa Claus will be available to meet at Disney Springs from November 11 to December 24, and the district will be filled with holiday décor, live music and seasonal treats. Before you go, check out the new Christmas merchandise at World of Disney, our Disney World Holiday Food 2026 Guide and the new Morimoto Asia souvenir lantern cup.
