Holiday Decorations Return to Hollywood Studios

The glamour of Hollywood is clamoring with Christmas cheer this morning as all of Disney’s Hollywood Studios was transformed overnight and has received the full-on garland treatment.

That is, with the exception of Gertie, who is still notably missing her Santa Hat. Even with the Echo Lake Christmas tree up, it isn’t officially Christmas without Santa Gertie.

As guests enter the park, they’re welcomed by silver tinsel garlands with red bows and ornaments.

Crossroads of the World is decked out in holiday splendor too, although it’s not like Mickey’s globe is ever going to spin again above it.

Decorative wreaths also line store windows.

In keeping with the 1950s vibe, you’ll notice that a lot of the holiday decor in the park takes inspiration from kitschy vintage classics like these little deer ornaments, ceramic poodles, and other things you’d normally see gracing your grandmother’s cupboards. If you’ve dined at 50’s Prime Time Cafe, you’ll also recognize a lot of these elements.

Holiday decorations have yet to arrive at Toy Story Land, and it’ll be interesting to see if they add any unannounced space tinsel anywhere on Batuu. So far, though, we’re just happy that kitschy Christmas is back at Hollywood Studios. Now if only we could have Santa Gertie back…
