Sneak peek of the 2021 Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House at Disneyland
The Haunted Mansion Holiday is returning for its 20th season this year at Disneyland and each year a new gingerbread house graces the mansion’s Grand Hall.
Starting Sept. 3 (when Halloween Time begins at Disneyland) the Haunted Mansion receives a makeover inspired by “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas,” celebrating the collision of Halloween and Christmas. Since 2001, there has been a special gingerbread cake made. And now for the 20th year (the park was closed last year due to COVID-19) a very special cake is being made.
“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,” Tim Wollweber, associate art director for Disney Parks, who designed this year’s house, told the Disney Parks Blog.
Here is the rendering of the new house.
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!
