Douglas Fir, the roaming and talking Christmas tree, has returned to Disney Springs at Walt Disney World for the 2026 holiday season.

The character rolls through the shopping and dining district in a red planter box, interacting live with guests. Douglas is decorated with small lights, Santa hats, suit jackets, stockings and two gingerbread men.

WDWNT spotted Douglas outside Earl of Sandwich in the Marketplace area, near Once Upon a Toy and Pin Traders. The character first debuted in 2023 and has also appeared during summer in an orange-tree version.
