Ho ho ho! Does all of the recent news about the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights have you feeling in the festive spirit yet? Maybe you have already purchased your tickets to these special holiday events. Either way, you don’t have to wait until November or December to deck the halls. There are a couple of places in Disney World where you can find Christmas all year long, and many don’t even know about them. We’re Halfway to the Holidays, so let’s talk about where you can go during any month of the year to purchase those most festive souvenirs!
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe
Our first stop takes us to Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square. Here, you’ll find Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. Step inside this quaint shop to browse a variety of Christmas ornaments, decorations, stockings, and much more. If you’re like me and can’t resist adding at least one new ornament to your tree each year, this is your place! You can even have certain items personalized for an additional fee.
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe is home to holiday traditions as well. While you’re there, don’t forget to take a peek at the Christmas Countdown calendar. After all, as of the date of publication, there’s only 160 days until Christmas! Time to start checking gifts off the list. Speaking of Christmas lists, now is also the perfect time to send a letter to Santa with your own Christmas wishlist. You can do that here too!
Surprisingly, isn’t all you can find here. Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe also features a rotating display of seasonal items for other holidays and events. For example, as we approach Halloween, you’ll be able to find a selection of Halloween merchandise. The same is true for other occasions like Easter or the 4th of July. It’s always worth checking out what they have!
Disney’s Days of Christmas
Let’s head over to Disney Springs now. During the holiday season, Disney Springs offers a number of free holiday activities and entertainment options. However, you don’t have to wait until then to experience holiday magic. You can visit Disney’s Days of Christmas anytime of year for some jolly merchandise!
Disney’s Days of Christmas is located in the Marketplace section near Rainforest Cafe and Goofy’s Candy Company. The store offers a wide selection of everything you need to deck the halls Disney-style. Obviously, there is a large assortment of ornaments from which you can choose. You can even have one personalized (for an additional fee) with a name, phrase, or special date. There’s nothing like a personalized souvenir!
Other holiday decor items available include cozy pillows, throws, and candles. No holiday display would be complete without a train set! If you’re looking for wreaths, garland, or even a new nutcracker, you can find those here too.
Finally, I want to note that this store also offers other seasonal collections beyond winter holidays. As was the case at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe, you can find rotating merchandise for other upcoming holidays that will vary depending on the season.
Die Weihnachts Ecke
If you are in EPCOT, one store you will definitely want to visit for holiday cheer is Die Weihnachts Ecke in the Germany Pavilion. While smaller in size than the previous stores we’ve discussed, this shop is home to many beautiful blown glass Christmas ornaments. You can also pick up a Christmas pickle ornament if your tree is currently lacking one…
World of Disney, Theme Parks, and Disney Resort Collection Hotels
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe, Disney’s Days of Christmas, and Die Weihnachts Ecke are entire stores dedicated to spreading holiday joy all year long. However, in truth, almost every gift shop on property will have at least one Christmas ornament available for purchase. You can find Sketchbook Ornaments to showcase your favorite Disney scenes and characters, theme park ornaments to remember your favorite rides, and even ornaments to showcase your favorite Disney Resorts Collection Hotels! World of Disney, resort gift shops, and gift shops in the theme parks are all good locations to look for ornaments.

I’ll leave you with a final tip about Disney Christmas ornaments: many have removable hanging ribbons. When they’re not adorning your Christmas tree, you can remove the ribbon and use them as everyday display items! This is my favorite way to showcase my collection of monorail resort ornaments (and other places I’ve stayed like Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort).
