Disney’s Animal Kingdom has added a new Merry Menagerie merchandise collection at Island Mercantile, according to WDWNT. The 2026-themed lineup includes a sweatshirt, T-shirt, ear headband and Christmas ornament inspired by the park’s seasonal animal puppets.
The pastel blue Merry Menagerie sweatshirt costs $54.99 and features the Tree of Life, an owl and a fox on the front. Its back design shows two deer against an orange-and-pink ombré background with “Disney’s Animal Kingdom Merry Menagerie 2026.”
A purple T-shirt, priced at $36.99, depicts the Tree of Life with a deer and penguin on the front. More animals—including a polar bear, fox and owl—appear on the back as they walk in front of the tree.
The $38.99 ear headband has a fox on one ear and a penguin on the other, with embroidered facial details. It has a detachable bow, a light blue exterior, purple interior and “Disney’s Animal Kingdom Merry Menagerie 2026” embroidery.
