Hey friends, happy Monday! It’s time for another Merch Meeting, and this week’s lineup is full of festive fun and a few surprise arrivals that were worth the wait. We’ve got some adorable new character bags, cozy holiday apparel, and a batch of items from the Gingerbread Collection that seem to have missed last week’s scheduled debut but have finally made their sweet arrival. Plus, remember that special Holiday plaid mini backpack and ear combo I shared with you a few weeks back? It’s officially here, and it’s every bit as cute as we hoped. Let’s take a look at all the new Disney merch you’ll want to add to your holiday wish list!

Minnie Mouse Holiday Plaid Ear Headband for Adults, $36.99
Now, I absolutely love this set; it might just be one of my favorite holiday designs yet from the Minnie Mouse Headband and Mini Backpack duo. However, I do have one small gripe. It feels like a missed opportunity not to carry that beautiful gold trim from the backpack onto the headband as a cohesive accent. Instead, Disney took a bit of a detour by introducing a new texture and color with the pearl-like details, which slightly breaks up the otherwise perfect pairing. Even so, I’ll take it!
That’s it from me for this week’s Monday Merch Meeting. Stay tuned for our deep dive into the new Loungefly releases later in the day.
Meeting adjourned!
