Ten Gifts to Ask Santa For: From Marvel to Star Wars, the 2025 Disney Christmas Gift Guide

As every year, this October also saw the return of the traditional Disney Christmas event. A few days ago, the group's Milan headquarters opened its magical doors to present new product lines dedicated to its most famous brands. In an exclusive event, reserved for press and creators, I had the opportunity to browse the latest news from Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars, getting hands-on with the newest items just launched on the market or arriving in the coming days in physical stores or online, starting with the Disney channel on Amazon.

Accompanying this piece is a video montage with all the proposals dedicated to the world of Marvel, Star Wars, and Tim Burton related to board games, Lego sets, and games for kids.

For those who want to get a head start and find the right Christmas gift (perhaps taking advantage of Black Friday soon), here's a small guide to all the year's Disney novelties, suitable for all needs, ages, and price ranges. From collector's gems to accessories that bring a touch of magic to everyday life, here are ten unmissable gift ideas I selected from the treasures presented by Disney.

Star Wars Advent Calendars

If there's one item that embodies the anticipation and joy of Christmas, it's undoubtedly the Advent calendar. This year, the Disney world has offered many, designed for both adults and children, truly satisfying all tastes, from princesses to the most die-hard Star Wars fans. They range from classic ones with chocolates to more elaborate ones with mini-figures or small collector's items.

Among the many proposals, the most intriguing we found is undoubtedly the Star Wars Stormtrooper Bath & Body Advent Calendar by Mad Beauty. This calendar is designed for a male audience, who are often difficult to buy beauty gifts for. With spectacular graphic design that echoes the iconic Stormtrooper, it contains 24 mini-size bath and body products, perfect for those who travel or simply want to try something new every day. An original, practical idea with a design that will impress any Star Wars fan. Here you can find the Lego Star Wars themed Advent calendar

LEGO Sets with Christmas and Nerd Themes

LEGO sets are a timeless Christmas classic, capable of uniting generations and stimulating creativity. And for Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars fans, the offer is truly boundless, with many new releases coming out these hours. For those who love not only to build but also to display, I'd like to point out that both the Marvel and Star Wars logos, for example, have been recreated in LEGO version, becoming perfect decorative elements for any collector's room.

But the set that most impressed us at the event is undoubtedly a gem that combines two worlds: the Star Wars Gingerbread AT-AT Walker. It's not just a Star Wars set, but it's also intrinsically Christmassy, transforming the iconic imperial vehicle into a delicious gingerbread version. Once built, it won't end up forgotten: it will become a fun and original decoration to use every year during the holidays, bringing a touch of a galaxy far, far away even under the Christmas tree.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot Cards

For darker souls with a soft spot for animation, The Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot deck (Lo Scarabeo Editions) is the perfect gift. This is not just a simple deck of cards, but a true work of art designed for an eclectic audience. It's ideal for artists, for those enchanted by Tim Burton's genius and his unique world, but also for those who appreciate the "super deformed" aesthetic typical of some Japanese animation productions.

Each card is a small gem, blending the film's iconic gothic and spooky style with captivating graphics and details that will delight fans. For collectors of tarot decks, it represents a gothic and original version, far from traditional canons but rich in charm and mystery. A unique way to explore the future or simply to enjoy a collector's item that celebrates Jack Skellington's unforgettable masterpiece. You can find them here on Amazon

Benetton Pajamas (Christmas and otherwise)

This year, one of the Disney pajama collections is signed by Benetton: it stands out from more classic lines for a fresh and versatile approach. Forget the classic Christmas themes that often limit use to a few weeks: here we're talking about garments designed to be worn all year round, maintaining the magic of classic characters with a decidedly urban style. The illustrations are stylish and modern, capable of reinterpreting Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and other iconic characters with a contemporary touch that perfectly suits men, women, and children alike. They are the ideal gift for those seeking practicality, quality, and a touch of Disney magic without sacrificing style and the possibility of using them well beyond the Christmas holidays. 

Fantasyland Castle Perpetual Countdown Calendar

For lovers of Christmas decorations, for whom Christmas means above all filling every corner of the house with themed decorations until the Christmas atmosphere is breathed in every corner of the house, there are a couple of really pretty and functional furnishing ideas on the Disney Store.

The first is a perpetual calendar with a retro design themed after Fantasyland Castle: this splendid object is not just a decoration, but a perpetual calendar designed to count down the days until Christmas.

Its beauty lies in the fact that, once purchased, it can be reused year after year, becoming a fixed and beloved element of Christmas decor. It's a touch of enchantment and tradition, ideal for those who love to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere and collect objects that tell timeless stories. A gift that not only decorates but creates an annual ritual of joy and anticipation.

Mickey Mouse "Joy" Decorative Pillow

For those who love to decorate their home for the holidays but only with quick and effective solutions that don't require delicate arrangements, the Mickey Mouse "Joy" Decorative Pillow is a perfect gift. This pillow is not just a soft furnishing accessory, but a real "magic trick" to bring the Disney Christmas atmosphere into your living room in a flash.

With its cheerful and festive graphics, featuring the iconic Mickey Mouse in a Christmas version, simply take it out of the box, place it on the sofa or favorite armchair, and the decoration is done. Perfect for "waking up" the environment with a touch of Disney cheer and warmth, without stress.

Disney Decorative Light Bulb by Paladone

Staying on the topic of decor, but with a touch of modern design, the Disney Decorative Light Bulb by Paladone is a true gem. This item is perfect for various needs: for girls' rooms who want a soft, fairy-tale light, for an original gift for your significant other, or simply for those who love modern decor with exposed light bulbs and are looking for a discreet yet distinctive detail.

Its charm lies in its ability to evoke the Disney world in a very subtle and elegant way. It's not a flashy lamp, but a design object that integrates tastefully into the environment. It's a versatile gift, so refined that it's also suitable for special occasions like Valentine's Day, thanks to its romantic touch and minimalist design. A luminous and enchanting way to add a touch of magic without sacrificing style.

Clementoni Star Wars R2-D2 Robot

For the little ones, but also for young padawans with a passion for technology, the Clementoni Star Wars R2-D2 Robot is a gift that combines play and learning. This robotics kit encourages children to approach STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in an interactive and engaging way.

Building your own R2-D2 droid, piece by piece, is an educational experience that develops manual skills and logic, while learning how a robot works. Once assembled, R2-D2 is not just a static model, but an interactive companion to play and experiment with. It's the perfect way to transform complex concepts into a fun adventure, inspiring curiosity and creativity, all under the aegis of one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars saga.

Disney Stitch Interactive Plush Toy

This adorable blue alien, protagonist of Lilo & Stitch, arrives in a version that strongly resembles the beloved Furby, offering hours of fun and companionship to the little ones. Stitch was designed to be an interactive friend: he responds to touch, sounds, and voices, moving his ears, eyes, and emitting characteristic sounds. His "somewhat Furby" nature makes him irresistible and engaging, perfect for stimulating children's curiosity and affection.

It's a gift that goes beyond a simple toy, becoming a companion for adventures and cuddles, capable of bringing a smile and a bit of Stitch's alien charm directly into the children's bedroom.

Magical Disney Sound Stories - De Agostini

This series offers classic tales accompanied by adorable character plush toys and a sound reader that makes the reading experience even more immersive and magical. It's a bit like reliving "old-fashioned bedtime stories," an evening ritual that helps little ones relax and dream. The practical audio box allows children, even those who are learning to read or cannot yet do so, to listen and re-listen to stories independently, developing their listening skills and the pleasure of storytelling. A gift that combines play, learning, and old and new Disney canon fairy tales, ideal for moments of calm and fantasy.
