The 2025 edition of Jollywood Nights, a separately-ticketed after-hours holiday event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, will include a complimentary keepsake ornament for attendees to collect as they depart.
The ornament is branded for the year 2025 and features retro-style flourishes. It includes Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse depicted in gift boxes perched atop a film-reel style frame. The bottom of the design carries the event’s name “Jollywood Nights” and the Disney’s Hollywood Studios logo.The description also notes that the frame portion of the ornament allows for insertion of a personal photograph. Guests will receive the ornament at an exit distribution location near the park entrance at the end of the evening.

The ornament is included in the price of the event ticket and does not require a separate purchase.
Comparison With Prior Years
In 2024, the complimentary parting gift at Jollywood Nights was a box of champagne-flavored marshmallows. The year before, in 2023, attendees received branded coasters. The 2025 ornament thus continues the practice of offering a themed souvenir each season, while representing a different format than previous years.

A themed ornament is a tradition commonly associated with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party over at the Magic Kingdom, which is an event more geared toward families.

The 2025 edition runs on select nights from November 8th through December 22nd. Entry to the park is permitted beginning at 5:30 p.m., with the main event slated to start at 7:30 p.m. and conclude around 12:30 a.m. on each scheduled night. Guests can enjoy the holiday-themed décor, entertainment, rare character meet and greets, food and beverage offerings, and reduced attraction wait times.
Additional Context
Because the event is limited-capacity and separately ticketed, attendees are advised to secure their tickets in advance. The ornament cannot be mailed or requested after the event if missed.

While many event attendees will focus on the ornament, it’s distinct from the separate merchandise offerings for Jollywood Nights. The 2025 merchandise line features a character mascot known as “Ollie the Gingerbread Man” on items such as spirit jerseys, Loungefly bags, mugs, headbands and a merchandise ornament. The free keepsake ornament for ticketed guests is not the same as the merchandise ornament available for purchase.
Comparison With Other Disney Events
Jollywood Nights’ practice of distributing a complimentary keepsake sets it apart from other after-hours offerings at Walt Disney World. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, held at Magic Kingdom, focuses on included food and beverage items such as cookies and cocoa while also offering a collectible souvenir.

Similarly, events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party include themed candy and entertainment and rarely offer a parting item.
