Stitch spent Halloween throwing a masquerade party in Tomorrowland, and now he is staying for the holidays. Disney has added a new dance party called Stitchmas! to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year. Lilo and Stitch are hosting, with a few of their closest friends and plenty of island holiday cheer. The new party moves into a Tomorrowland spot that young partygoers will remember from last year’s Disney Jr. Jingle Jam.
New Stitchmas! Dance Party at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2026

- Where and when the new dance party takes place.
- How it follows Stitch’s Halloween party debut earlier this year.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party returns to Magic Kingdom this Sunday, and it brings a new Stitch dance party with it. Stitchmas! welcomes guests of all ages, and a party ticket is all you’ll need.
Disney describes the new experience this way: “Celebrate Stitchmas! at an out-of-this-world holiday party. Dance, sing and play along as Lilo and Stitch reminisce with some of their closest friends about holidays on the island. Make merry memories together as you rock around the tinsel tree!”
Disney hasn’t named the friends joining Lilo and Stitch. Angel danced alongside them at the Halloween party this year, so she could be one of them, but we’ll have to wait for opening night to see who shows up.
Stitchmas! Takes Over Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café
Stitchmas! takes place inside Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café in Tomorrowland on select party nights from November 8th through December 22nd. The listing in the My Disney Experience app doesn’t show set times yet. Last year, Disney Jr. Jingle Jam filled the same space for the entire party, from 7:00pm to midnight, according to our 2025 party showtimes guide.
Club Tinsel, the DJ dance party that used to fill the restaurant, moved to the Rockettower Plaza Stage last year. Disney’s 2026 party listing no longer mentions Jingle Jam, so Stitch appears to be the main draw for little dancers this season. An indoor dance party with Lilo and Stitch also gives families an easy stop between the bigger shows on the evening’s schedule.
Stitch’s Second Party Debut of 2026
Stitch is no stranger to Magic Kingdom’s after-hours events this year. Back in the spring, Disney announced A Masquerade with Stitch for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. That dance party took place at the Rockettower Plaza Stage, with Stitch swapping themes every time he pulled a new accessory from Lilo’s Costume Trunk. Lilo and Angel joined him on stage.
Stitchmas! moves the fun indoors and trades the costume trunk for a look back at holidays on the island with Lilo and friends. Stitch now hosts a dance party at both of Magic Kingdom’s hard-ticket events this year, an increase in appearances for the blue alien.
Getting in is the tricky part. Party tickets range from $189 to $229 plus tax depending on the night. As of our latest ticket check, 16 of the 25 party nights had already sold out.
