Disney is bringing a festive twist to a beloved holiday classic with the announcement of Mickey's Home Alone, a brand-new animated Christmas special set to arrive during the 2026 holiday season.
The special, which will premiere on Disney Jr. before streaming on Disney+, takes inspiration from the iconic Home Alone films and places Mickey Mouse at the centre of a chaotic Christmas adventure.
What's Mickey's Home Alone About?
Mickey is excited to spend a quiet Christmas at home with Pluto. However, plans change when Minnie Mouse surprises everyone with a holiday trip to a spectacular Ice Palace.
In the rush to leave, Mickey and Pluto are accidentally left behind.
While the rest of the gang enjoys their festive getaway, Mickey soon discovers that Christmas at home isn't going to be peaceful. Two hungry holiday thieves – a mischievous raccoon and a crafty weasel – set their sights on stealing Christmas dinner, forcing Mickey and Pluto to defend their home using clever traps and plenty of Disney-style comedy.
Meanwhile, Minnie and friends race to return home before Christmas is ruined.
New Christmas Songs
Disney has also revealed that the special will feature several original songs, including:
- Ho-Ho-Home for Christmas
- Favorite Christmas Feeling
- A brand-new rendition of Jingle Bells
The music is expected to play a major role in the festive adventure, helping bring extra holiday magic to Mickey's latest Christmas story.
A New Christmas Tradition?
The announcement has already generated excitement among Disney and Christmas fans alike, with many noting the obvious nods to the classic Home Alone films.
While Disney has produced several holiday-themed Mickey Mouse specials over the years, Mickey's Home Alone feels like one of the company's biggest Christmas releases featuring Mickey and friends in recent memory.
With festive music, holiday hijinks, and a family-friendly adventure inspired by one of the most beloved Christmas movies ever made, this could become a new seasonal favourite when it arrives later this year.
Disney has not yet announced an exact release date, but we'll be counting down the days until Mickey and Pluto's Christmas adventure arrives.
