From a galaxy far, far away to the magic of Disney, you can grab your favorite characters in their festive, animatronic form from The Home Depot’s holiday collection. This year’s lineup includes new animated versions of Mickey, Minnie and the ever-lovable snowman Olaf. You’ll also find “Star Wars” icons like Chewbacca and Darth Vader decked out for the holidays.

Each animatronic features motion, sound and lights to make your display truly come alive. My parents got their hands on the Mickey and Minnie and can’t wait to break them out of the box. (Honestly, I’m expecting them on display as soon as the clock strikes midnight on Nov. 1.) Whether you want to create a Disney holiday dreamland or transform your yard into the ultimate galactic winter wonderland, these Home Depot holiday animatronics make it easy. What will make it into your holiday decor this year?
