Make your Christmas merrier with Disney: Explore the Holiday Ever After collection!
We all have that one thing we can’t do without during the holidays. Maybe Christmas doesn’t feel like Christmas without a fresh blanket of snow on the ground or Christmas Eve isn’t complete without a family reading of A Visit from St. Nicholas. And for many of us, the holidays just aren’t as full of wonder and whimsy without a little Disney—whether that’s a Christmas-themed Disney movie marathon or a trip to the most magical place on earth itself.
Sound like you? If so, we’ve put together a list of easy ways you and your family can add Disney joy to your holiday season, featuring gifts, apparel and décor from (and inspired by) the new Hallmark original movie, “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Dream Come True.” Try these ideas out so when December is over, you can confidently say, “That was the best Christmas ever!”

Get into the gift-giving spirit
There’s a little something for every kind of Hallmark Disney fan on your gifting list this season.
- Pair these matching Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse matching glasses, a cozy blanket, something snack-y and a copy of their favorite Disney flick, and ta-da! You’ve crafted the perfect holiday gift basket for a Disney movie fan, coworker or friend.
- Did your cousin just live out her Disney princess dream and get engaged in front of the Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World®? Then it’s time to celebrate! Gift the newly engaged couple a cozy date-night-in gift, including a cute blanket, cuddly socks and this magnetic Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse plush pair—a nod to their own love.
- The Hallmark Christmas Cruise is coming! Give your aunt who has a cruise ticket a cute pair of pajamas for relaxing in her suite or this new Jingle Cruise ornament. Either way, she’s sure to be inspired to do some serious relaxing on her upcoming voyage.
- When the holiday party is over, the dishes are put away and the host is ready to retire to their couch, gift them a little something to say thanks for hosting. This mug will keep their holiday cocoa warm all evening, and this fleecy crewneck goes with it.
Send cheer with Hallmark Disney cards
- Turn card-sending into an event! Watch Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Dream Come True with friends and craft your holiday cards during commercial breaks. This set of assorted Christmas cards is perfect for the occasion.
- If your family took a trip to Disney World this year, then these cards are perfect to send to your family and friends. Slip a photo of your trip inside for an extra touch of Disney fun.
- Don’t forget to send merry wishes to your neighbors, teachers and coworkers this season, too. This bright green card with Mickey Mouse ears will bring joy to anyone who receives it.
- And for the person who gave you a happily ever after, there’s this romantic Disney holiday card.
Tune in to the new Hallmark Channel original movie Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, premiering during this year’s Countdown to Christmas and streaming next day on Hallmark+! It’s sure to be your new favorite Christmas comfort movie.
Trim your tree the Disney way
- The star of the tree-trimming show this season is the recordable Mickey Mouse ornament. It’s actually featured in the new movie, and it comes with a special opportunity for your family to make a Christmas memory together! Record a message on the ornament with your family, then save it for next year. Maybe it’s an inside joke or a wish for the year ahead. Either way, this recordable ornament is a fun new family tradition waiting to happen.
- Celebrate a year of family adventures or an upcoming trip with this Jingle Cruise ornament! Hide it somewhere sneaky among the branches—the first person to find it gets to open a card and read the news!
- Round out your existing Disney ornament collection on the tree with these two new ornaments featuring our favorite couple: Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.
Wrap up your gifts with Disney spirit
Gift wrap and bags are the easiest way to add a little something Disney to every gift you give this season.
- Wrapping gifts is way more fun when you do it with friends. Host a wrap-and-watch party and get all your wrapping done early. You can even tune in to the new movie while you work with this on-theme wrapping paper!
- Not all of us are wrapping experts, so if you’re hosting that wrap-and-watch party, it’s wise to have a few gift bags for the rest of us to use. This gift bag is festive, fun and features Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse.
Spending the holidays at Walt Disney World®? Be sure to stop and visit the Hallmark pop-up shop in Disney Springs from October 8–January 3, where you can find gifts, décor and more inspired by the new Hallmark Channel original movie, Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True.
Bake up a little magic in the kitchen
- Has anyone ever turned down Christmas cookies as a gift? We don’t think so. Bake up your favorite cookie recipe and store them in this adorable Holiday Ever After cookie jar. This would make a perfect gift for a coworker, neighbor or babysitter.
- Even if baking isn’t quite your thing, we bet you have a baker in your life who’d love this adorable mixing bowl and spatula set.
- For another fun way to store Christmas cookies, check out this tutorial. You could easily attach a larger cookie plate to two smaller plates arranged to look like Mickey Mouse’s iconic ears for a cute Disney touch.
- Try wrapping cookies in this festive tea towel for a two-in-one gift!
- Looking for a fun way to surprise your family or kids with a trip to Disney? Make them a breakfast of Mickey Mouse pancakes or bake up Minnie Mouse sugar cookies to surprise them with the news in the sweetest way. Add mouse ears to pancakes or cookies, and decorate them with chocolate chips, sprinkles or icing.
Plan a holiday trip or give on as a gift
- Give the gift of experience this year with a ticket to the Hallmark Christmas Experience or the Hallmark Christmas Cruise! Surprise a friend or loved one by propping open a suitcase or this small tote bag under the tree with a printout of their ticket confirmation inside.
- This Vera Bradley tote or Loungefly backpack are the perfect carry-on luggage pieces for an upcoming trip to the Hallmark Christmas Experience or Hallmark Christmas Cruise. Add this travel water bottle, and you (or a friend) are ready to hit the road or set sail.
- It’s no secret that Lacey Chabert, star of Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, will be at the Hallmark Christmas Experience in Kansas City! Snag your ticket package now for Weekend 1 to make sure you see Lacey IRL.
- Need a hand planning your trip to the Hallmark Christmas Experience? Check out this article so you can get the most out of your ultimate holiday weekend.
Make Christmas Eve and Christmas morning memories
- At Christmas Eve dinner, play a game of Disney character impressions. Give everyone around the table a chance to do their best Mickey Mouse voice or do solo impressions and make the rest of the group guess the character. Whoever has the best impression gets first dibs on Christmas morning cinnamon rolls or gets to open their gifts first!
- Do a Secret Santa slipper swap on Christmas Eve! Find slippers for every personality in your family or group of friends, like this Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True pair featuring the Disney castle.
- The family that wears matching Christmas pajamas together stays together, right? Bring matching sets of this cozy sweatshirt or these on-theme pajamas (featured in the movie!) for everyone when you head home for Christmas.
- Matching PJs make for great photo opportunities. Take a family photo around the breakfast table on Christmas morning. Even if you have bedhead, these are the moments you’ll want to remember years from now when the little ones are big.
We hope these ideas help you add a little Disney fun and wonder to your holiday festivities this season. Whether you’re celebrating with the entire family, getting together with friends or even treating yourself to the holiday of your dreams, we hope it’s one to remember—made even more special with the help of Disney.
