Move over Elf on the Shelf! There is a new holiday watcher in town, and he is here to guard your presents, sneak your candy canes, and judge your every move from the fireplace!
Meet Darth on a Hearth, the Darth Vader plush that turns the most feared villain in the galaxy into the most mischievous holiday helper you have ever seen. He comes dressed for the season in a Santa hat and a red cape with fuzzy white trim, holding a plastic candy cane where his lightsaber would be. And yes, the cape and hat are part of the look, along with his molded helmet, chest panel, and belt. We saw him at Disney Springs, he’s pretty awesome!
He does not arrive in a plain box, either. He comes in a scenic display box with his very own hearth, complete with stockings hung for Luke and Leia. The box art is half the fun, with a Stormtrooper snowman, a probe droid in a Santa hat under a Death Star moon, plus AT-ATs, TIE Fighters, and Star Destroyers worked into the scene. Perfect for Star Wars loving families!
Then, there is the poem printed right inside the lid, called A Sith-mas Tradition:
In a galaxy festive, but not so far away,
Sits Darth on a Hearth who’s come here to play.
He once led the Empire, with power and might,
But now he brings holiday mischief each night.
He’ll guard your presents and tinsel and tree,
But sneak candy canes for the dark side, Hee hee!
If your stockings are hung and
Your heart’s full of cheer,
It can only mean one thing, Sith-mas is near!
And whether you’re rebel or trooper or Wookiee,
May your holidays be merry,
And leave out some cookies!
I mean, how do you say no to that?
Darth on a Hearth is $29.99, with a limit of two per guest. He is already in stores around Walt Disney World, including the Emporium in Magic Kingdom, Tatooine Traders in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Days of Christmas at Disney Springs. And today, November 11, he launches on DisneyStore.com, after first popping up on the Disney Store TikTok Shop on November 4.
So whether you are rebel or trooper or Wookiee, if you have a Star Wars fan on your list, or you just want the funniest thing on your mantel this Christmas… this little Sith Lord is ready to watch over your holidays. He’s a little more intimidating than that pesky elf, but so much fun! Don’t forget the cookies!
Stay tuned to The Main Street Mouse for more holiday fun all season long!
