There are Disney fans… and then there are EPCOT fans. The kind who can hum classic pavilion music, quote attraction lines, and spot old-school references from a mile away. Those fans just got a special little treat. Disney quietly released holiday merch that only faithful EPCOT supporters will understand, and if you don’t immediately recognize the vibe, you might walk right past it. For those who do recognize it? It’s already a holiday highlight.
The timing couldn’t be better either, because Walt Disney World has officially entered peak holiday mode.
Christmas Spirit Takes Over Walt Disney World
Tinsel and lights now decorate nearly every inch of the resort. Holiday treats hit menus, seasonal plush fill the shelves, and guests are grabbing spirit jerseys and peppermint-inspired accessories faster than you can say “hot cocoa.” Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starts soon, and Magic Kingdom already looks like it belongs on a Christmas postcard.
All of that festive energy builds toward one of the most anticipated seasonal shifts of the year: EPCOT’s holiday takeover.
EPCOT Prepares for its Global Celebration
Once Thanksgiving passes, EPCOT shifts gears and launches its international celebration of winter holidays. Food booths plate up seasonal comfort dishes, storytellers share cultural holiday traditions, and the famous Candlelight Processional fills the air with music.
Guests grab cookies, sip holiday beverages, and wander through World Showcase, soaking in the seasonal joy. It’s thoughtful, cozy, and full of that classic EPCOT magic that blends nostalgia with cultural warmth.
And what pairs perfectly with that atmosphere? A merch drop celebrating EPCOT’s most iconic character.
Disney Icon Gets Festive
The purple dragon is back in the spotlight. Last year, Figment’s holiday sweater from Journey Into Imagination became a runaway hit once Disney turned it into wearable merch. Fans absolutely loved it — so Disney took note.
This season brings a new Figment-themed surprise: Mickey ears designed with the exact sweater style from the ride’s holiday overlay. It’s a sly nod to fans who fell in love with last year’s drop and recognized the pattern immediately. Disney also added Figment ornaments and themed bags, rounding out a lineup that feels tailor-made for those who adore EPCOT’s whimsical spirit.
It doesn’t shout for attention — it rewards those who already have their eyes open.
More Holiday Gear Across the Resort
Figment isn’t the only one getting festive. Disney rolled out loads of Christmas merch across the property, including:
Peppermint-themed zip-up jacket
Mickey Santa plush buddy
Pluto holiday hat with lights
Holiday tumbler and matching bag
Peppermint-red Loungefly bag
Whether you want cozy apparel or park-ready holiday style, there’s something for everyone.
A Subtle Celebration for True EPCOT Fans
Some merch drops scream for attention. This one quietly embraces EPCOT’s heart and history, rewarding fans who spot the details. As the resort prepares for a month filled with treats, entertainment, and festive experiences, this release sets the tone for a cheerful EPCOT season.
If you spot someone rocking those sweater-pattern ears, you’ll instantly know — that’s not just any Disney guest. That’s an EPCOT fan through and through.
