Disney has unveiled A Disney Holiday Short: The Invisible Horse, an original Christmas film directed by Dougal Wilson. The short launches Make the Holidays Magic, Disney’s global seasonal campaign bringing together festive experiences, entertainment and gifting, alongside initiatives supporting children and families.
The film tells the story of Jack, a boy who believes he has outgrown the magic of the season. When a mysterious invisible creature enters his life at Christmas, Jack is drawn into an adventure that rekindles his imagination and brings him closer to his family. Its theme is finding wonder when it is least expected, and the idea that the most meaningful holiday memories often begin with a little belief.
The Invisible Horse is available to watch now on Disney+ and online. It arrives as brands roll out their festive campaigns for 2026, following recent Christmas adverts from Amazon and LEGO.
“Disney has long been part of the traditions, memories, and moments that make the holiday season so special for families around the world,
Asad Ayaz, Chief Marketing and Brand Officer, The Walt Disney Company
“This season, we’re bringing the best of Disney together to give families more ways to make the holidays magic: a trip they’ll talk about for years, a new favorite to watch together, the perfect gift under the tree and, for the children and families who need it most, a wish come true.”
Throughout the season, Disney will support its long-standing partner Make-A-Wish, creating moments of joy, comfort and togetherness for children living with critical illness and their families. Through the short film, Disney aims to raise awareness and funds for the charity.
Children and families across the UK and Ireland will also receive special surprises and experiences as part of the wish-granting programme at Disneyland Paris.
