Nightmare Before Christmas Merchandise Is Coming to Take Over Your Other Holidays, Too

Isn’t it enough that the Pumpkin King of Halloween has brought Christmas into spooky season at Disneyland with the Haunted Mansion Holiday takeover? Apparently Jack Skellington and friends are descending upon the rest of the holidays, if Loungefly’s latest collection is any indication.

Yes, even as we’re heading out of the winter holidays there’s already new whimsigoth goods inspired by Disney’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The film directed by Henry Selick has become a beloved handed me down gateway rite of passage for multiple goth and emo generations since it was released in 1993, and the collecting trends that came with it–from Suncoast videostore rare merch in the ’90s, to Hot Topic mall mainstays in the early aughts, and now online fandom hubs like Loungefly drops–and we’ve got an exclusive look at some of the newest merch reminding us that, at least in the world of collectibles, Nightmare Before Christmas is no longer a Halloween movie or a Christmas one, but an all year-round opportunity for merchandising.

Coming out the gate for 2025 is a new delightfully macabre collection from Loungefly which capitalizes on the chaotic charm of the movie’s premise of expanding into other holidays. We would be mad, but they made the collection center the goodest of ghoul’s best friends, Zero. And who can complain about Zero?
