The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll returns on November 11th with three new trees themed to Bluey, Monsters, Inc., and Hallmark. Disney says the trees will stay on display through January 3rd, 2027, giving guests more than seven weeks to find them all (hopefully it only takes you an evening). The newcomers join returning favorites like Frozen, Toy Story, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll 2026: New Trees & Dates

Disney Springs is bringing back its annual hunt for themed Christmas trees on November 11th, and this year’s lineup adds a few fresh “faces”. The stroll sends guests searching throughout the shopping & dining district for trees inspired by Disney characters, Pixar films, and theme park favorites. Disney hasn’t shared detailed designs or exact spots for the three newcomers yet.
Our first newcomer is Bluey, the animated series about a Blue Heeler pup and her family. The show airs on Disney Junior and streams on Disney+, so younger guests who watch at home now have a tree of their own to find.
Monsters, Inc. gets its own tree just over a week after the Pixar film’s 25th anniversary on November 2nd. Fans of the film can also watch Monstropolis take shape at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Crews recently revealed a painted “Try Our Cans” sign above the restrooms on the Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza building.
A Hallmark Christmas Tree is the third newcomer, and Disney lists it separately from the character and film trees. The Hallmark pop-up shop at Disney Springs centers on Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, a Hallmark Channel movie shot at Walt Disney World that premieres on November 28th. That shop doubles as a stroll map pickup spot, which makes it a handy first stop.
What Changed From Last Year
Neither the Coco tree nor the Haunted Mansion tree appears on Disney’s 2026 list, though both were part of last year’s stroll. The list is probably complete at this point, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye out.
Everything else from last year is back: Disney Villains, Encanto, Fantasia, Frozen, Lilo & Stitch, The Lion King, Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse, Moana, The Princess & the Frog, Star Wars, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Toy Story. The Annual Passholder Christmas Tree and the Disney Cruise Line topiary return as well.
For holiday photos, Disney points guests to three flagship trees in the Marketplace, Town Center, and Sphere. Last year’s list named an Orange Node tree in that third spot instead.
How the Map Activity Works
Guests can pick up a complimentary map from any Disney Springs brochure rack or from one of these locations:
- City Works Eatery & Pour House
- Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers
- Havaianas
- The LEGO Store
- The Polite Pig
- Hallmark Holiday Pop-Up Shop
As guests discover each tree, they match the corresponding sticker to its spot on the map. Disney says guests who find them all can return the map to one of those locations for a special surprise.
Santa Claus also returns to Santa’s Marketplace on November 11th, so a tree hunt pairs well with a visit. Guests can join the virtual queue for Santa in the My Disney Experience app once they arrive at Disney Springs.
