Today marks Disney’s Halfway to the Holidays celebration, which means lots of holiday season announcements for Disney Parks lovers! One of this morning’s most exciting reveals for Disneyland Resort fans is the Nightmare Before Christmas-themed gingerbread house that will be part of the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay.

Disney Parks Blog shared details about this year’s 20th anniversary gingerbread house creation, which honors elements from the past 19 Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house iterations:

We chatted with Tim Wollweber, associate art director for Disney Parks, who designed this year’s house. For 2021, the team decided to pay homage to all previous houses in celebration of this beloved tradition’s 20th anniversary. Tim mentioned, “we went back to the graveyard to dig up all of our ideas from the past 19 years. This year’s Franken-house stitches together favorite elements from the previous 19 houses!”

The post went on to outline all of the past houses, and, as you can see in the concept art [above], the 2021 Nightmare Before Christmas gingerbread house at Disneyland Park does indeed draw from all of the prior designs:

2001 – Monster House

2002 – Present House
