Haunted Mansion Holiday’s gingerbread house begins as a wooden framework in the carpentry shop, before gingerbread, fondant and frosting cover the Disneyland Park display.

In a new 62-second video, Walt Disney Imagineering traces the carpentry work behind the seasonal centerpiece. The unfinished house stands among tools and detached decorative trim before the edible finish is added.

This is a new look at the construction process rather than a new house debut. Haunted Mansion Holiday is already running at Disneyland Park for the 2026 season.
