OPEN Brief: The Hallmark Christmas Tree at Disney Springs is the new kid on the trail, and it already feels more like Disney than trees that have stood here for years. A few of those veterans are starting to show their age, which makes this fresh face shine even brighter.
Why Is the Hallmark Tree the Best at Disney Springs?
The Hallmark Christmas Tree at Disney Springs feels the most Disney of all 20 trees, because Mickey and Minnie are decorating it themselves.
The Hallmark tree shows Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse up on ladders, trimming the tree for the holidays. Mickey ornaments fill the branches, and a Mickey wreath and ribbon tie the whole scene together.
That little story is what sells it. Most trees on the trail show off a movie or a brand, but this one catches Mickey and Minnie in the middle of their own holiday prep. OPEN’s team thinks no other stop captures that classic Disney Christmas feeling quite as well.
It helps that the Hallmark tree is brand new this season. Some longtime favorites are starting to look a little rough, so the newcomer stands out even more as you walk the district. If you only have time for a handful of photo stops, put this one at the top of your list.
Where Is the Hallmark Christmas Tree at Disney Springs?
The Hallmark Christmas Tree at Disney Springs is one of the easiest trees on the Stroll to find, thanks to two big landmarks.
The Hallmark tree stands in front of Planet Hollywood and the Coca-Cola Store. Both buildings are hard to miss, so you can head straight there without checking your map.
Planning dinner at Planet Hollywood or a stop at the Coca-Cola Store? Build the Hallmark tree into that part of your night, and grab your photo on the way in or out.
What’s New on the Disney Springs Tree Stroll in 2026?
The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll adds three new trees in 2026: Bluey, Monsters, Inc., and the Hallmark Christmas Tree.
The Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll is presented by AdventHealth. The Hallmark tree sits in the special trees group with the Annual Passholder Christmas Tree and the Disney Cruise Line Topiary.
Here’s how the full lineup breaks down:
| Tree Group | Trees |

Fans of the classic pair can also swing by the Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse tree and see how it stacks up. You’ll find the rest of the season’s plans in our Holidays at Disney Springs 2026 guide.
