On Oct. 17, 2023, Mouse Trap News published an article saying that starting in 2024, Disney World parks would no longer celebrate Christmas. According to the article, the change was a move towards a more inclusive celebration, allowing the company to celebrate "the holidays" instead. The article read:
Disney World Will Not Celebrate Christmas in 2024
Christmas is often considered the most wonderful time of the year. This of course is for many reasons. It celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, it’s full of beautiful lights, presents, joy, and more. However, as the years go on, a holiday celebrated by the majority of Americans is slowly being canceled. Disney World is the next one on that list with the announcement that they will not celebrate Christmas in 2024.
While a photo on the original Mouse Trap News article shows a screenshot of Disney's website supporting the claim, the website in question makes no mention of the supposed final year of Christmas at Disney. This is because Disney has no plans to cancel its Christmas celebrations. Mouse Trap News is a site that describes itself as "the world's best satire site," meaning that none of its articles should be read as truthful. The site's about page has a full disclaimer explaining more:
