Disney is giving TikTok users an early chance to shop its holiday collection through Disney Super Brand Day, running from November 4 to 10. The event brings together a range of gifts, festive clothing and home décor in a dedicated TikTok Shop storefront, with selected products available before they appear on Disney Store’s online shop and other retailers.
More than 20 brands are taking part, with creators sharing finds across categories including toys, beauty and accessories. Among the early-access releases are Darth on a Hearth and a holiday-themed Loungefly mini backpack.
The event is part of Disney’s Make the Holidays Magic campaign and gives shoppers a chance to get their hands on selected festive releases ahead of the wider retail launch.
