Calling all popcorn bucket collectors! Walt Disney World has announced its lineup of holiday novelties for 2026, including three popcorn buckets, a Stitch Christmas tree sipper and two party exclusive straw clips. The first pieces arrive Friday, November 6, with more joining the lineup when Disney Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party kick off that weekend.
Every item has a limit of two per person, per transaction and is available while supplies last. Disney hasn’t released prices yet.
Holiday Popcorn Buckets
Each bucket comes filled with popcorn at the time of purchase.
Toy Story Gingerbread House Bucket (November 6)
This festive gingerbread house features Woody, Bo Peep and a Little Green Man perched on the rooftop. It’s the only bucket sold in two parks, at select outdoor vending locations in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Holiday Train Bucket (November 8)
Mickey, Pluto and friends ride along on a holiday locomotive in this new bucket. It’s exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, available at select outdoor vending locations in Magic Kingdom during the party only, starting on opening night.
Holiday Christmas Tree Truck Bucket (November 6)
This one may look familiar. The Christmas Tree Truck bucket debuted at last year’s Very Merry party, and this season it’s coming to select outdoor vending locations at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for everyday park guests.
Stitch Christmas Tree Sipper (November 6)
Stitch is dressing up as a Christmas tree, and he’s the easiest novelty to find this season, available in all four parks. The sipper includes any fountain beverage at the time of purchase:
- Magic Kingdom: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café
- EPCOT: Connections Eatery and Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts and Barbecue
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Fairfax Fare, ABC Commissary, Backlot Express and select outdoor vending locations
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: select outdoor vending locations
Party Exclusive Straw Clips and a Souvenir Cocktail
Both straw clips can be added to any non-alcoholic beverage for an additional cost, and each one is only available during a holiday party:
- Holiday Kermit Straw Clip (November 7): Rosie’s All-American Café and Catalina Eddie’s at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, during Disney Jollywood Nights only
- Holiday Wreath Straw Clip (November 8): Casey’s Corner at Magic Kingdom, during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party only
Jollywood Nights guests 21 and older can also order The Bauble and Bright at Tune-In Lounge starting November 7. The cocktail features Teremana Blanco Tequila, Grand Marnier, white cranberry juice, glitter simple syrup and lime juice with a cranberry garnish, served in a souvenir cup while supplies last.
Tips for Popcorn Bucket Collectors
- Go early on launch day. Holiday buckets, especially Toy Story designs, tend to draw long lines and can sell out quickly.
- Party exclusives require a party ticket. The Holiday Train bucket, wreath straw clip and Kermit straw clip are only sold during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or Disney Jollywood Nights.
- Check the My Disney Experience app for mobile order options and availability on the day you visit.
