Some of Disney World's most recognizable characters are looking a little different this Christmas.
Walt Disney World Resort officially kicked off its 2026 holiday celebrations on November 13, bringing festive entertainment and seasonal experiences throughout its theme parks.
Disney's Hollywood Studios has already received several Christmas updates, but the latest change involves three characters that guests have been meeting for years.
And this time, Disney has given them some colorful new accessories.
Three Beloved Pixar Characters Receive Holiday Makeovers
Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear have officially debuted their Christmas costumes inside Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
The characters, who originally appeared in Pixar's Toy Story (1995), regularly greet visitors throughout the year.
However, their newest appearances bring a festive twist to the experience.
Woody now sports a bright red vest featuring candy cane decorations, a Christmas tree patch, and a wrapped present.
His sheriff's badge remains attached to the vest, while a candy cane sits inside his holster.
Jessie has received a similar makeover, although her Christmas vest features a green design with red-and-white candy patterns.
Disney has also added two peppermint patches to her outfit.
Buzz Lightyear, meanwhile, has kept his usual Space Ranger suit and added a Santa hat.
The changes arrive after Disney previously introduced new versions of its original Toy Story characters.
Those earlier appearances featured accessories inspired by Toy Story 5 (2026).
Now, Disney has switched things up again for Christmas.
Toy Story Land Has Received Several Holiday Updates
The new character costumes are part of a larger seasonal transformation happening throughout the area.
Disney recently introduced oversized Christmas decorations to Toy Story Land, including colorful ornaments, garlands, and holiday lighting.
Even the giant Woody figure near the entrance has received a festive red-and-white scarf.
Meanwhile, Disney has also introduced Christmas music at Alien Swirling Saucers.
The attraction debuted its holiday soundtrack on November 4, featuring four seasonal songs that temporarily replace its regular music.
This year's celebration also arrives after Disney announced another major update to Toy Story Land, bringing new entertainment involving Lilypad from Toy Story 5 (2026).
Together, the changes give returning visitors several new details to discover.
Where to Find the Christmas Characters
Guests hoping to meet Woody and Jessie can find them near the entrance to Toy Story Mania!.
Buzz Lightyear greets visitors closer to the entrance to Toy Story Land, across the walkway from Roundup Rodeo BBQ.
All three appearances are included with regular admission to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Families should check the My Disney Experience app for character greeting schedules before visiting.
Meanwhile, guests looking for even more holiday character experiences can attend Disney Jollywood Nights, which features a larger lineup of rare Disney characters.
However, Jollywood Nights requires a separate ticket, while the regular Toy Story Land greetings do not.
Disney's official holiday schedule lists the seasonal Toy Story character experience through January 6, 2027.
For now, Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear are officially celebrating Christmas at Hollywood Studios, giving fans another reason to stop by Andy's backyard during the holiday season.
