The seasonal market for ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ themed merchandise includes both retail product launches and specialized collectibles.

In the United States, Bath & Body Works released a Halloween collection in collaboration with Disney. The collection features fragrances inspired by characters Jack Skellington and Sally, including a Jack Skellington scent with notes of pumpkin, palo santo, and spiced vanilla, and a Sally scent featuring berry patchwork, ghastly blooms, and tonka. The launch introduced a new product innovation: single-wick candles featuring layered wax. The range also encompasses accessories such as tote bags, coin purses, and soap dispensers.

Expanding into the Japanese market, Walt Disney Japan announced a new collection for Disney Store locations starting September 11, 2026, with early access at select locations on September 8. This collection utilizes original artwork with a “tarot card aesthetic” and includes apparel such as Spirit Jerseys, dresses, and knit cardigans. Home goods such as monochrome tableware, jigsaw puzzles, and LED light figures are also featured, alongside an expansion of the ‘Disney stanDs’ plush series and specialized items like advent calendar bag charms.

Complementing these retail offerings, themed decor and collectibles continue to be utilized for seasonal celebrations, such as hand-painted sculptural tabletop clocks from The Hamilton Collection.
