In recent years, popular popcorn buckets and sippers have become so much a part of Disney’s seasonal rhythms that we keep track of all the novelties available on a monthly basis. Walt Disney World just revealed the holiday season novelties for 2026, and we expect all of them to be popular. See also holiday food guides for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Disney Jollywood Nights, Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Hangar Bar, and Walt Disney World theme parks.
Below, we map out every new popcorn bucket, drinkware item, and straw clip debuting for the holidays at Walt Disney World and where to find them. Things have come a long way since the trend was popularized by the now-iconic 2017 popcorn bucket of Pluto wearing a Christmas sweater. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including a first-of-its-kind WWE event at Disney World and Disney balloons in this year’s Macy’s Parade.

Popcorn Buckets
The Holiday Train Popcorn Bucket is shaped like a toy train with a pleasant aesthetic of mint green, bright red, and cream white. Mickey Mouse is on top wearing a Santa hat, and a window displays Pluto hitching a ride with one of Santa’s reindeer. The strap displays other cars in the imaginary train with illustrations of Mickey’s friends riding aboard.
The Holiday Train Popcorn Bucket will be available at Main Street Snacks and Castle Popcorn at Magic Kingdom, the two snack carts in front of Cinderella Castle, only during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which begins November 8, 2026, and continues on select nights through December 22.

Disney says this popcorn bucket is new, but it’s been in the parks before. Nonetheless, it was very popular in the past, and many guests will likely be excited that it’s back. It was previously exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but this year, it’s sold at select outdoor vending locations at Disney’s Animal Kingdom during regular park hours.
