It seems the Pumpkin King has a new surprise this year for the holiday season at Disneyland — it looks like Sandy Claws will be making appearances this year, too. After a quick tease on social media earlier this year, Disney Parks welcomed Jack Skellington back for the 2025 Halloween Time season with a fresh new look and now it seems for the holiday season he’s got a wardrobe change, too!

Here’s a closer look at the Jack Skellington character dressed as Sandy Claws.

We felt the updates to the character that debuted this year were a welcomed and much-needed change. Aside from a noticeably more accurate head and face, the character also features more realistic fingers that suit the character’s bony appearance better.

With this new look, Jack can still speak and interact with guests and his mouth still moves. Disney has not announced if the current Jack Skellington meet and greet will extend pas the Halloween Time season but we expect that may just be the case this year…

You can watch the full teaser video posted to Disney socials below.
