Hallmark's 2023 Disney's Haunted Mansion "Tree Topper"

It is CRAZY to call it a tree topper. This is practically a model of the Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom, complete with lights and sound.

In any case, it is going on one of our shelves because it is way too big to be a tree topper. But kudos to Hallmark. Their Disney-themed items often surpass those from Disney itself.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Gingerbread House

DisneyParks Blog posted this article about the Gingerbread House at DLR Haunted Mansion.  This year the house in the ballroom of HM will be inspired by Jack Skellington and his companion Zero. 

It’s a Disneyland Resort tradition, and “Pumpkin King” Brian D. Sandahl, Senior Designer for Disney Entertainment Creative Development, has a wild and wacky new design for this year’s gingerbread house, the holiday centerpiece on the table in the ballroom of the Haunted Mansion Holiday in Disneyland park.

Of course, it’s not just any holiday, but one inspired by Jack Skellington and the animated film, “Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas,” so there are no reds and greens. So there’s a little bit of Halloween and a little bit of Christmas all rolled into one with orange berries, black pine garland, and garishly bright colors.

 Zero will be flying around the top of the house, adding to the theme of Nightmare Before Christmas.   The new Halloween design will be ready to see September 14.
