Magic Kingdom has unveiled updated costumes for cast members at the 2026 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, featuring festive holiday designs. The new outfits include red shirts with white and gold holiday patterns, green neck bows, and matching green pants or shorts. Some cast members wear red aprons, adding variety to the ensemble while maintaining traditional Christmas colors. These working costumes for staff distinguish the 2026 party from previous years, though they are not special attire for Mickey Mouse or his friends. The party will run from November 8 through December 22, 2026, on select nights from 7 p.m. to midnight local time. Ticket holders can enter the park as early as 4 p.m. on their party date to enjoy early access to the event. The Christmas party costumes follow similar updates introduced for the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party earlier in 2026.
