Make the Season Magic: The 2026 Disney Holiday Lookbook Starts with Ornaments, Advent Calendars, and Home Alone
The best Disney holiday finds aren’t always the ones waiting under the tree. Some hang from its branches, some count down the days until Christmas, and some circle it on a set of tracks. Back in September, we got an early look at Disney Consumer Products’ 2026 Holiday Showcase, and this first chapter of our annual Holiday Lookbook gathers the products that make the season itself a little more magical: new Disney Store ornaments, advent calendars, Christmas trains, a Home Alone collection, festive pajamas, and holiday reading. Since they're best enjoyed in the weeks leading up to the big day, consider them gifts to give early, or to keep for yourself.
