Disney is releasing a full merchandise collection for Disney Jollywood Nights that includes apparel, accessories, home décor, collectibles, and a pin — all decorated with festive artwork featuring the fan-favorite gingerbread man, Ollie!
Disney Jollywood Nights is a special, hard-ticketed holiday event that is held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World on select nights in November and December.
Before we get into all the new merchandise, here is some backstory on how Ollie came to life.
Last year, this adorable new holiday character was introduced at Disney Jollywood Nights. He’s a talented and energetic gingerbread man who brings his own festive cheer to this glamorous event, inspired by the golden age and aspirations of Tinseltown.
The Disney Live Entertainment creative team behind Ollie wanted to capture the classic aesthetic of mid-century holiday cards and 1940s-1950s advertisement illustration. This vintage style, with its timeless elegance and vibrant charm, perfectly complements the glitzy theme of the event. The team also drew inspiration for Ollie from their personal holiday traditions, adding a layer of warmth and authenticity to the project.
Every aspect of Ollie’s design, from the optimistic twinkle in his eyes to his stylish holiday attire and star-quality hair, was meticulously crafted to encapsulate the whimsy and cheer of the holiday season while complementing the artistic flair of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Alright, now that we know more about Ollie, let’s take a look at the incredible new line of merchandise coming to the 2024 event!
The Spirit Jersey has a fun, all-over pattern featuring Ollie in his Jollywood best. A ‘Happy Ollie Days 2024’ retro graphic can be found on the front, while the event logo is displayed across the back. There’s also a graphic tee featuring Ollie on a Sunset Boulevard stroll.
The ear headband features Ollie as a plush, embroidered ears and satin bow ties. The event marquee is on top of the headband, and ‘2024’ is written down the side to commemorate the year you visited the holiday party.
The mug has a retro-inspired diner silhouette with images of Ollie and the event logo. It is the perfect mug for a cup of hot cocoa paired with your Jollywood Nights marshmallows, courtesy of Wondermade. These will be provided upon exit and are included in your ticket. A picture-perfect ornament will also be available. Pin collectors simply cannot leave the party without an Ollie trading pin.
All of these adorable pieces can be found in the Stage 1 Company Store exclusively for party attendees during the event.
