It’s Here: The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail! Take a Tour With Us!
Snow. Christmas carols. Tasty holiday treats. Trees decorated with your favorite Disney characters. Where can you experience all of this holiday magic in just one place? The Christmas Tree Trail at Disney Springs, of course!
Star Wars Tree
The Christmas Tree Trail is back and bigger than ever this year! Not only will you find 27 intricately decorated trees (three of which are brand new!), you’ll also have the chance to meet Santa, shop for ornaments, and enjoy exclusive holiday snacks.
Christmas Tree Trail Entrance
The trail starts in the Disney Springs Marketplace, which is near Once Upon a Toy, Earl of Sandwich, and Bibbity Bobbity Boutique.
Christmas Tree Trail Snacks
In case you get hungry while strolling along the Christmas Tree Trail, several sweet and salty holiday-themed snacks are available.

There are packaged Iced Sugar Cookies and Rice Krispie Treats as well as Mickey Gingerbread Cookies. The in-demand Mickey Snowman Stein is also available here, and it can be filled with your choice of Frozen Hot Chocolate or Frozen Eggnog. Oooooh.

Feeling more like a salty snack? Pick up one of these adorable, refillable Pluto popcorn buckets.

The Christmas Tree Trail offers a variety of Holiday Brews, including Abita Christmas Ale, Big Storm Winter Ale, White Claw Hard Seltzer, and Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen. Non-alcoholic options like bottled Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Dasani water are available, too.
Christmas Tree Trail Drinks
There’s even a special holiday edition of the classic Mickey Pretzel! The salt on this guy is dyed red and green for an extra burst of Christmas cheer.

Remember how we mentioned that Goofy’s Candy Company is now offering several new flavors of Gourmet Cotton Candy? Three of those flavors – Gingerbread Man, Candy Cane, and Egg Nog – are available on the Christmas Tree Trail!

Notice how Pluto’s sweater matches the one he’s wearing on his popcorn bucket!? So cute!

These socks in a Mickey bauble would be a fun gift for the people in your life who are either sock enthusiasts or haven’t been quite naughty enough to merit coal.

And the tree ornaments are so detailed! We love this version of Prince John and Sir Hiss.

Meet Santa on the Christmas Tree Trail
Did you know you can meet Santa Claus himself on the Christmas Tree Trail? Well, you can! Santa meets in his very own gorgeous chalet, which is located about halfway down the trail.

Santa is very busy this time of year, though, and the wait time to see him is often between 60- 120 minutes.

The best part, though? The floating lanterns.

Another new tree: Toy Story! This one’s decorated with paper chains and a color scheme that reminds us a lot of Toy Story Land.

And finally: the Walt Disney World Theme Parks tree! Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom are all represented. Yes, that’s a monorail wrapped around the tree.
