Meet and Greet
Is there anything more exciting than meeting Santa Claus this time of year? Hollywood Studios is the perfect place to meet St Nick, and MickeyBlog recently had the chance.
Guests can meet Santa from November 8 through December 24, 2025, inside Walt Disney Presents, in the Animation Courtyard.
It is also the perfect time to check out the new exhibits and enjoy some holiday shorts!
Guests can experience the new exhibit, watch some holiday classics, and meet Santa all in one place! It is festive and fun, getting you in the Christmas spirit!
Let’s check out the fun.
Holiday Classics
When you enter the theater, classic holiday Disney animated shorts are playing, perfect for the season. You can relax and watch “On Ice,” “Pluto’s Christmas Tree,” and “The Art of Skiing.”
There’s even a great photo op to capture the moment!
The holiday short films are on a continuous loop. They are 23 minutes in total, and you can walk in and out whenever you want.
New Holiday Exhibit
In addition to the cartoons, a new exhibit has debuted, and it’s pretty great.
These holiday displays feature some of your favorite Disney holiday movies and moments, including The Muppet Christmas Carol!
Here is a great look at Gonzo and Rizzo in the movie, and their costumes.
This Charles Dickens costume was worn by Kermit …
…and here Tiny Tim’s costume!
We also spotted this stunning display from the movie, Noelle!
The display includes movie props…
… colorful costumes…
… and more props that fans will recognize!
And you can’t forget The Santa Clause! How festive is this display?
It includes memorabilia from The Santa Claus, The Santa Claus 2, and The Santa Claus 3.
Here is a great close-up of some of the props, including the magical snow globes…
… as well as some of the colorful costumes worn by Santa and his elves.
The collection also included Disney Classics, such as Babes in Toyland. This was one of my favorite Christmas movies to watch growing up.
The light-hearted musical about Mother Goose and her nursery rhymes comes to life with the help of Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands!
Toys, games, books, and more are on display.
Here is a fun look at a vintage game…
… And the iconic toy soldiers.
Meeting Santa
After going through the queue and checking out the amazing displays, we finally got to meet Santa! He looks great, surrounded by festive decor, a colorful Christmas tree, and he definitely got us in the Christmas spirit.
