Disney’s global Make the Holidays Magic campaign launched November 9, 2026, with a new holiday short. It connects seasonal celebrations across Disney’s parks, streaming services, television networks and stores.
A Disney Holiday Short: The Invisible Horse is available on Disney+ and online. Dougal Wilson directed the film.
The story follows Jack, a boy who believes he’s outgrown the magic of the season. A mysterious invisible creature arrives at Christmas, sparking an adventure that rekindles Jack’s imagination and brings his family closer.
