Interactive Queue
Guests approach the mansion, now adorned with garlands, candles, and pumpkins, while Jack's sleigh is on the roof. As guests proceed through the queue area while interacting with the objects that got a scary Christmas makeover, they can hear a music box play strange, creepy music. While the Interactive Queue remains unchanged.

Upon entering the foyer with garlands draped on the walls. Then, they see a painting of Jack transforming from the Pumpkin King to his Sandy Claws guise replacing the Aging Man changing portrait as the mysterious voice tells the recap of nightmare before christmas. After that, guests are greeted by The Animatronic The Great Gonzo as he reveals to be the ghost host as he escorts them to the stretching room, where the paintings of the Mansion's former residents are replaced by stained glass windows and the ceiling appears as a green wreath with a yellow bow surrounding a blue area. When the door closes, As the lights go out and the room starts to stretch, Gonzo then recites the part of the original nightmare before Christmas poem, the glass shatters, revealing depictions of a nightmarish version of Christmas are revealed underneath:

* The Outside of the house decorated for Christmas changes to a large monster wreath.

* The Christmas Tree with Presents underneath changes to be Jack's Toys, The Stockings all hung by the chimney with care is revealed to be Jack Skellington with ghosts and The Children, nestled all snug in their bed is revealed to be Candy Snake. The suicidal Ghost Host is replaced by Jack's face saying "Happy Holidays Everyone! EE-HEE-HEE-HEEEE!" and falling.

As the lights return to normal, the doors open, leading into the loading hallway which is decorated with orange Christmas lights and Halloween pumpkins. Seven of the "Sinister Eleven" portraits have been replaced with ones depicting the film's characters doing various activities.

Attraction Ride-Through

After boarding our black sleigh, we go into the painting hallway with the exact copy of California's overlay with the pictures being replaced (windows on one side, pictures of the snowman, Jack Skellington, Sally, Santa's sleigh, and the Mansion that change when the lightning strikes.) Orange Christmas lights wrap around the staring busts in the library as Zero wraps a floating tree made out of books with tinsel garland. In the music room, guests see a life-size audio-animatronic Sally, seeming depressed and sitting in the chair next to the ghostly piano that the Scary Teddy plays. We leave the music room and climb up the stairway, adorned with orange Christmas lights, black garland, and pumpkins. Guests see the Mayor walking up and down, decorating it. Guests then go into the hallway with the blinking eyes, glowing Halloween and Christmas decorations are seen glowing within.

As the Ghost Host continues telling the story, Zero is now seen floating in the endless hallway in place of the candelabra. The moving suit of armor wears a purple and green Santa hat. A pile of dog bones in front of the hallway and a wreath made of dog bones adorns the top of the hall. On one floating bone, a tag reads "To Zero". Presents sit in the chair and poinsettias reside next to that chair.

The corpse trapped in the coffin in the conservatory is unchanged, but the Scary Teddy now sits on it, hammering nails back in. A tag reading "Do Not Open Till Xmas" hangs from the lid. The dead funeral flowers have sprung to life and now perform the song Kidnap the Sandy Claws. The corridor of doors is now filled with the same comically-vicious flowers, all singing loudly. Guests then pass underneath a large green-eyed wreath with very sharp teeth, which all the flowers seem to be connected to. The demonic grandfather clock has the tentacles of the wreath wrapped around it. A tag reading "To Leota, From Sandy Claws" is seen next to the clock.

Madame Leota floats along with several glowing bottles surrounding her and now chants "The 13 Days of Christmas" while The Mayor of HalloweenTown listens. The floating instruments have been replaced with huge tarot cards, depicting Leota's 13 Christmas gifts of which she is chanting.

The Doom Buggies then move into the ballroom. The ghosts here are the same, but the decorations have changed. The table is set for a Christmas party and a huge gingerbread house that looks like Disney World's Haunted Mansion sits in the center. An immense dead Christmas tree (with one live branch at the top) covered in candles and spiders with lights now sits in the middle of the dance floor, but the ghosts waltz right through it. Zero floats above the scene near the tree.

The guests are then taken to the attic, where most of the usual props and characters have been replaced with a clutter of all sorts of creepy toys and presents. A huge snake coils around the room with a "naughty and nice" list in its mouth. Throughout the room, some of the evil toys come to life as the guests pass by, including three jack-in-the-boxes (one featuring a stylized skull, another a black cat's head, and another a jack-o-lantern), a bullet hole-ridden duck, a cymbal-crashing Oogie Boogie doll, a monstrous train on tentacle-like tracks, an ax-wielding puppet, and a demonized baby doll.

Then, guests leave the attic and into the balcony, snowflakes are seen falling instead of ghosts rising as guests Go down the stairs next to the balcony, the guests witness the Scary Teddy chewing on Christmas lights, threatening to blow a fuse. As the Doom Buggies reach the ground level, they pass by a towering audio-animatronic figure of Jack in his Sandy Claws outfit, wishing the guests a Merry Christmas as a replacement for the wide-eyed caretaker that usually stands in his place, with Zero accompanying him in place of the caretaker's dog. The graveyard is now covered in snow and the spiral hill from the movie is featured as a centerpiece covered in glowing pumpkins. The music combines "Grim Grinning Ghosts", "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", and "Jolly Old St. Nicholas". The vehicles pass under huge snow angels with pumpkin heads. The singing busts remain the same at the base of the spiral hill. The characters besides Jack and Sally are seen interacting with the graveyard ghosts like Oogie Boogie, the witches, and the Mayor of HalloweenTown having tea with them, the Harlequin Demon conducting the 5 minstrels, the Wolfman singing with the opera ghosts, Lock Shock, and Barrel peeking their heads from each side of the lid, the Ghost Mummy wearing a Santa hat, the Old Man wearing a scarf with little pumpkins on it, and the Zombie Band playing music while the prisoner (wearing a black and purple hat and scarf), executioner and the decapitated knight (wearing earmuffs with skulls) sing. Before entering the crypt, guests see the Scary Teddy one last time, playing the trumpet with another pumpkin-headed snow angel above.

The Doom Buggies then enter the crypt, where the Hitchhiking Ghosts are standing with a dead Christmas tree, a picture of Jack and Zero and a plie of presents. The crypt is decorated with a black wreath, black garland, and orange Christmas lights. Phineas wears a purple and orange scarf, Ezra would be holding his hat and skeletoe at the same time, and Gus would have his ball and chain adorned in orange Christmas lights and he would wear bonedeer antlers and a small orange nose. They are asking Sandy Claws (you) for a ride. The guests then go by the mirrors where the Hitchhiking Ghosts are seen interacting with them.

The guests then arrive at the unload area, which is also filled with snow and jack-o-lanterns. As the guests travel up the speed ramp to the exit, a tiny version of Sally (taking the place of Little Leota) is seen thanking Jack as he flies away in his sleigh and tells the guests to hurry back.

Changes The interactive queue now have Christmas decorations. Jack transforming from the Pumpkin King to his Sandy Claws guise replaces the Aging Man portrait. The portraits in The Stretching Room are replaced by the same portraits found in the Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland version of the rides. The portraits in The Portrait Hallway are replaced by the changing portraits of the Nightmare Before Christmas characters, this includes: Sally's christmas tree turning into a burned one. The original Haunted Mansion turning into the Haunted Mansion Holiday. A snowman transforming into a pumpkin snowman. Sandy Claws riding his sleigh turning into Jack riding his sleigh with skeletal reindeers and Zero. The blinking eyes seen in the staircase scene are replaced by flickering Christmas lights.
