Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the Toy Story gang are bringing a little Disney magic to Melbourne this Christmas, with the Myer Christmas Windows returning for their 71st year.
The six-window display at Myer Melbourne brings the Disney and Pixar picture book Merry Christmas Woody to life, taking families into Andy’s bedroom for a festive Christmas Eve adventure.
The story follows Woody as he frets about finding the perfect presents for his friends, while Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Rex and the other toys prepare for Buzz’s big Christmas party.
Visitors can watch the toys wrap presents, decorate the room and dress Rex as Santa before Buzz puts on a magical light show. Along the way, Woody discovers that the best part of Christmas is spending time with friends.
Myer Executive Chair Olivia Wirth said: “The Christmas Windows have been one of Myer’s proudest traditions since 1956, and every season we see families come back to share them with the next generation.
“Disney and Pixar are the world’s great storytellers, so collaborating with them on our 71st windows has been a real privilege. Toy Story is loved by people of all ages, and we can’t wait for Melbourne to see it.”
The elaborate installation took more than 10,000 hours to construct, with over 200 paint colours mixed and almost 100 customised character movements bringing the scenes to life. Families can also look for hidden Disney and Pixar Easter eggs throughout the windows.
The Christmas experience continues inside The Basement, where a Toy Story Play Zone features photo opportunities, festive activities, a book corner and an interactive Lilypad.
Narrated by Australian television presenter Andy Allen, the Myer Christmas Windows will run daily until the evening of 5 January 2027. The Basement activation runs until Christmas Eve.
