First Look: 2021 Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House at Disneyland Park

Published: juillet 12, 2021 / Last Updated: juillet 12, 2021 / By: Arvid Bux

Haunted Mansion Holiday will return for its 20th season beginning Sept. 3 at Disneyland! This merry makeover of the eerie estate, inspired by “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas,” celebrates the collision of Halloween and Christmas.

A favorite tradition is the yearly changing gingerbread house, which graces the mansion’s, Grand Hall. Since today marks our Halfway to the Holidays, today we get a first look at what this gingerbread house will look like.

The team over at Disney Parks Blog 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 to celebrate 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 houses seem to get more elaborate each year, and for 2021, it’s no exception! As you can see in the rendering above, a piece from each house is represented in this year’s house to create a visually chaotic yet perfect Dr. Finkelstein-esque mashup! Tim’s favorite element? The giant man-eating wreath from 2005!
