Disney Holiday Ornaments (1968-Now)

Disney Holiday Ornaments are available in a wide range of themes and characters from Star Wars to Disney princesses, as well as characters from most Disney movies such as Aladdin, Shrek, and Mickey Mouse.

Most of Disney's holiday ornaments are either ball-shaped, figurines, or small statuettes. Some balls have the recognizable Mickey head shape while others may be multicolored designs. Disney has produced a wide range of character statuettes over the years, from its classic cartoon characters to live action heroes.

Disney typically offers single figurines as well as sets of well-known ensembles, such as Snow White and the seven dwarves. You'll also find wreaths and prop ornaments, featuring recognizable objects such as Disney storybooks and Minnie's shoes. Most are hanging items that you affix to your tree with an attached string or wire.

These are unique ornaments sold in Disney Parks gift shops or through vendors. New editions are typically released seasonally, and they fall into the categories of balls, statuettes, and props. Some are elaborate stackable pieces intended for display on a flat surface, such as a mantle, end table, pedestal, or windowsill.

Disney employs a selection of durable materials when manufacturing its ornaments for Christmas. Most are made of some form of plastic or resin. However, porcelain, glass, and metal pieces are not uncommon. Special editions of Mickey Christmas statuettes made of hand-blown glass are released periodically as well.

Grolier is the manufacturer associated with many classic, vintage Disney Christmas ornaments. Grolier Collectibles is responsible for the production of Disney Christmas ornaments. Early Moments now owns Grolier Collectibles; although, the Early Moments Christmas ornaments line is not as extensive as those from Grolier. As a result, both collections are rather rare. Product titles and descriptions of Grolier Disney Christmas items often appear as Grolier/Early Moments and vice versa.

Disney produces and sells ornaments of many characters from its franchises. Although George Lucas is the founder of the Star Wars franchise, Disney's affiliation entitles it to produce, market, and sell Star Wars character merchandise as well as merchandise pertaining to any other associated movie franchises, such as Pixar, DC Comics, and Marvel Comics. As a result, you can find Walt Disney World Yoda Santa Christmas decorations as well as hanging BB8 Droid Christmas balls from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".
