CONFIRMED: 2 Beloved Christmas Popcorn Buckets Are Returning to Disney World

We’re almost at the holiday season in Disney World, and that means it’s time for new merchandise!

We’ve seen tons of apparel, accessories, and holiday toys already, not to mention all the special holiday snacks we know you’ll be able to grab during the upcoming season, but now we’ve got a first look at the popcorn buckets that will be available…and they probably look familiar!

Previously, Disney told us that we’d be seeing the new Holiday Christmas Tree Truck Bucket in Disneyland, Aulani Resort, and on select Disney Cruise Line sailings. It’s also been confirmed that this will be exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party guests at Magic Kingdom!

Did you miss out on holiday buckets in the past? If so, you’re in luck! Several of these souvenirs from the past few years are making a comeback.

The Gold Musical Rotating Tin will be available again on November 7th, this time at various popcorn carts around Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Say “welcome back” to the adorable Mickey Elf Bucket! You’ll find this guy around EPCOT at various popcorn carts, so keep your eyes peeled! This was exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in 2024.

Finally, the fan-favorite Mickey Toy Soldier Drummer Sipper is back this year! This souvenir will be at a few locations, including:

Disney’s Hollywood Studios: ABC Commissary, Backlot Express, and Fairfax Fare
Magic Kingdom Park: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café and Pinocchio Village Haus
EPCOT: Connections Eatery and Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue

Each of these souvenirs becomes available on November 7th, 2025. We have seen buckets sell out in the past, so if you see one and you want one, grab it! Note that there is a limit of two per person, per transaction.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Disney merchandise, so stay tuned to AllEars!
