New Nightmare Before Christmas: 13 Days of Christmas Picture Book Coming Soon!

Jack Skellington at Disneyland brings festive fright as he decorates a Christmas tree inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas; later, he entertains fans by reading the "13 Days of Christmas" picture book while seated regally on his Halloween Town throne.

Calling all “The Nightmare Before Christmas” fans out there! A new picture book is arriving soon, and we’re sure we aren’t the only ones excited about it! Christmas and Halloween collide with this fun, unique book. Check out the details below.

Jack Skellington and Sally pose beside a festively adorned Christmas tree with Zero at Disneyland, beneath The Nightmare Before Christmas sign, bringing the enchanting spirit of "13 Days of Christmas" to life for park guests.

As shared by Disney: “If you’re a fan of Jerrod Maruyama’s unique Disney-inspired artwork, you may remember his 2018 merchandise collection inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, which brought his adorable art style to some of our favorite Halloween Town residents. Now fans can experience his artwork in a brand new way when thirteen days of frighteningly festive fun come to life in the new picture book, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: 13 Days of Christmas. Renowned Imagineers Steven Davison and Carolyn Gardner’s text turns turtle doves and French hens into floating candles and true-love potions. When you combine that with Maruyama’s adorably spooky art style, it’s the perfect spine-chilling spin on Christmas traditions!”

Disney takes us on a closer look of the book with the inside photos below:

In a delightfully spooky theme park setting inspired by Nightmare Before Christmas, a cartoon girl explores a festive graveyard scene where a skeleton wearing a Santa hat stands atop a snowy hill under the bright sun. Surrounding Halloween decorations add to the holiday mash-up atmosphere, perfect for fans attending special 13 Days of Christmas celebrations in an immersive, storybook environment.

Three spooky monster hands reach up as Jack Skellington sits on a grand throne, reading a picture book, surrounded by stacks of colorful books and playful toys—capturing the whimsical Halloween Town vibe.

A Christmas tree topped with a glowing star and festive cards stands beside Dr. Finkelstein’s lab desk, complete with a chalkboard and Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, recreating a magical scene you’d find at Disneyland during the holiday season.

We can’t wait to get our hands on this one! Will you be adding it your Nightmare Before Christmas collection? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: 13 Days of Christmas is available wherever books are sold beginning July 6. For more information, visit DisneyBooks.com.
