Another Figment popcorn bucket is coming to Walt Disney World, and longtime collectors know what that could mean.
The purple dragon has developed a reputation for causing merchandise frenzies at EPCOT. Previous popcorn bucket releases have attracted enormous crowds, with some visitors spending hours waiting to purchase the latest designs.
Now, Disney has announced a new version arriving just in time for Christmas, complete with a festive appearance and a purchasing restriction.
Disney World Reveals New Figment Collectible
Beginning November 27, 2026, visitors attending EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will have an opportunity to purchase the new Figment Holiday Sweater Popcorn Bucket.
The collectible features Figment dressed in a colorful holiday sweater, giving the popular character a seasonal makeover.
Instead of traditional popcorn, the bucket will come filled with jelly doughnut-flavored popcorn.
Disney has confirmed that visitors can purchase the souvenir at Holiday Hearth Desserts inside The Odyssey in World Celebration.
However, there are some restrictions.
Disney will limit purchases to two buckets per person, per transaction. The collectible will also be available only while supplies last.
The festival runs through December 30, but Disney has not guaranteed that the bucket will remain in stock throughout the celebration.
The announcement arrives as EPCOT prepares for its next seasonal event following the conclusion of several Food & Wine Festival offerings.
Figment Has Already Created Merchandise Frenzies
Disney's newest release could attract considerable attention, especially considering the character's history.
In January 2022, the original Figment popcorn bucket caused massive lines to form throughout EPCOT.
Some visitors reportedly waited more than five hours to purchase the collectible, turning what should have been a simple souvenir purchase into an all-day commitment.
The popularity didn't disappear after that initial release.
Figment continued appearing on new merchandise, and Disney eventually adjusted its purchasing procedures to help control crowds.
Fans have repeatedly expressed concerns about another major rush for Figment popcorn buckets whenever a new design approaches its release date.
The character isn't alone in generating this kind of excitement, either.
Earlier this year, Disney introduced another collectible featuring Sam Eagle, reminding fans of the popcorn bucket craze that Figment helped create.
While Disney hasn't confirmed that the newest holiday bucket will generate similar crowds, its limited availability could encourage collectors to visit early.
Disney World Is Giving Figment Fans Even More to Collect
The holiday popcorn bucket isn't the only Figment-themed souvenir arriving at EPCOT.
Disney has also confirmed an exclusive Figment holiday cup for Annual Passholders.
The cup accompanies the Raspberry Sleigh dessert at Refreshment Outpost and features the purple dragon wearing a holiday sweater.
Meanwhile, Holiday Hearth Desserts will serve additional Christmas treats, including Peppermint Bark, a Hot Chocolate Mousse Cup, and a Christmas Sugar Cookie that qualifies for the Holiday Cookie Stroll.
Visitors can also enjoy the festival's seasonal entertainment, international holiday traditions, and specialty food offerings throughout EPCOT.
For collectors, however, the newest Figment popcorn bucket could become one of the biggest attractions.
Disney hasn't announced a price or confirmed whether mobile ordering will be required for this particular release.
For now, visitors hoping to bring home the festive purple dragon should plan to check Holiday Hearth Desserts when the festival begins November 27.
