Giant Christmas Tree and More Decor Arrive at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for the 2026 Season

The Christmas tree at the entrance to Disney’s Animal Kingdom is now in place for the 2026 holiday season.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Christmas Tree

It’s located right outside of the main entrance, as it has been in previous years. It’s also the same tree as in previous years, surrounded by fencing and prop gifts.

It features animal and nature-inspired decorations. Many items appear to be crafted from natural materials, such as bamboo stars and snowflakes.

The animals on the tree are what you will find in Animal Kingdom, such as giraffes, lions, elephants, zebras, and more. Most ornaments have natural colors like brown, green, and blue.

The tree is topped with its usual stick star and adorned with golden lights to light up at night.

Multi-colored presents, building blocks, a train, and character signs are placed at the bottom of the tree. These characters include Tigger, Eeyore, Chip ‘n’ Dale, King Louie, and more.

More Christmas Decor

Other decor has also been installed, including garland on the ticket booth and the main entrance where guests scan their MagicBands. A wreath was also added.

The 2026 holiday season has arrived at Walt Disney World Resort as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights have begun. The Holiday Tree of Life Awakenings projections show at Animal Kingdom will return on November 13. Animal Kingdom will also host Merry Menagerie and Santa’s Holiday Grove.
