Okay, where are our popcorn bucket collectors at? Popcorn buckets are BIG business in Disney World, and sometimes it’s even hard to get your hands on the more popular ones (we’re still having flashbacks to the great Figment Popcorn Bucket Saga of 2022).
Holiday popcorn bucket
Well, holiday popcorn buckets are now a thing in Disney World, and if you want to get your hands on them, you’ll have to do so soon because these popcorn buckets will be gone come January 2026.
First, let’s take a look at the holiday popcorn buckets you can get in Disney World right now.
Magic Kingdom
You can get the Holiday Christmas Tree Truck Bucket at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. It’s an exclusive souvenir you’ll find ONLY during the party at various popcorn carts around Magic Kingdom. In the past, if there were leftover buckets, we’ve seen Disney sell them during the daytime, so be on the lookout for that. The final Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the season is on December 21st.

You can also pick up the Santa Sulley Popcorn Bucket throughout Magic Kingdom at various locations.

If you miss out on these popcorn buckets, though, you should be able to find a Figment Popcorn Bucket as of January 16th during the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, which runs through February 24th. Disney has not revealed what the 2026 popcorn bucket looks like just yet, so we’ll have to wait and see.
