It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Especially now that the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll is back for its second year! This fun (and free) activity brings all the holiday feels! The parks aren’t the only place getting into the festive spirit. Take a “stroll” around Disney Springs and find beautifully decorated Christmas trees, each with their own Disney-inspired theme!
History Of The Christmas Tree Stroll
The Christmas Stroll replaced the Christmas Tree Trail in 2020, due to social-distancing efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of having all the trees in one location, Disney has spread them out all over Disney Springs to allow more space to enjoy viewing the trees. In years past, the Christmas Tree Trail drew huge crowds and at times could be overwhelming with the amount of people. I remember seeing really long lines to get into the event area some evenings of the Christmas Tree Trail. Once you were in, it was difficult to get photos because of the crowds. In my opinion, the Christmas Tree Stroll is a much better set-up.
How To Participate In The Stroll
To take part in this fan-favorite activity, start by visiting a Christmas Tree Stroll map distribution location. Maps are available at these select Disney Springs shops and restaurants:
- City Works Eatery & Pour House
- Planet Hollywood
- Chicken Guy!
- The Boathouse
- Under Armour Brand House
- Amorette’s Patisserie
- Basin
Once you have your map in hand, you’ll notice tree icons scattered across the map. Those icons mark the location for each tree on the Christmas Tree Stroll. Attached to your map is a set of stickers which corresponds to the theme of the trees. As you stroll around Disney Springs, place the correct sticker on the correct location marker on the map. Who doesn’t love a holiday themed scavenger hunt?
After you’ve placed all the stickers on your map, you can return to any of the redemption locations (same as the map distribution locations listed above) to receive a complimentary gift! Spoiler alert: It’s a button!

This year, the number of elaborately decorated, twinkling trees on the stroll has increased from 12 to 20! The Disney-inspired themes of the trees available for viewing, include:

There are also 3 other trees that aren’t directly Disney themed, but are still over-the-top, beautifully decorated and fit perfectly into the stroll.
The details on all of these trees are incredible! I hope you spend some time taking it all in. If you enjoy the decorations, stop by Disney’s Days of Christmas to take home the featured ornaments.
