Saks Fifth Avenue and Disney are collaborating once again to bring the holidays to life. The two iconic brands will come together to delight shoppers this holiday season with dazzling “Frozen 2”-inspired windows, exclusive product and a one-of-a-kind in-store experience called Disney’s Frozen 2 Enchanted Forest Experience at Saks.
Saks will unveil its “Frozen 2”-inspired holiday windows on Monday, November 25, following the movie’s U.S. theatrical debut on November 22. The magical unveiling event will take place in the middle of Fifth Avenue and will include a musical performance by Idina Menzel (voice of Elsa) of a song from the “Frozen 2” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, along with a song from her upcoming holiday album, “Christmas: A Season of Love.” The production will also include a 10-story-tall theatrical light show and entertainment from a local choir, dancers and characters from the film. The theatrical light show will run on a nightly basis throughout the holiday season.
Throughout Saks’s center six windows, scenes from “Frozen 2” will be brought to life, with each display featuring a character from the film along with the elements of wind, fire, water and earth, themes central to the film.
“The powerful imagery and themes from ‘Frozen 2’ lend themselves perfectly to Saks’s iconic, theatrical-like window displays and holiday lightshow,” said Ken Potrock, President of Consumer Products, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. “This collaboration with Saks Fifth Avenue will once again bring the magic of the holiday season to life for fans and families, allowing them to feel as though they are a part of Anna and Elsa’s enchanted world like never before.”
“We’re delighted to partner with Disney to celebrate the magic of the holiday season,” says Emily Essner, SVP of Marketing and Digital at Saks. “At Saks, we’re constantly looking for ways to connect with our customers in a meaningful way and are confident that the spectacular ‘Frozen 2’ window displays, in-store experience and exclusive merchandise will do just that.”
Idina Menzel will also be featured on the cover of Saks Fifth Avenue’s 2019 Holiday Book which will debut later this month.
In addition to exclusive product offerings inspired by the film, Saks will host Disney’s Frozen 2 Enchanted Forest Experience. Marking a first for Saks, the immersive experience will offer visitors the chance to be transported to the spectacular world of “Frozen 2” and experience Anna and Elsa’s journey as they traverse through the four elements, encountering beloved characters along the way. Located on the ninth floor of the New York flagship store, the activation will run from Tuesday, November 26 through Tuesday, December 24. Tickets will be $5 (+ taxes and fees) each. Saks will donate $5 from the sale of each ticket to New York-Presbyterian Phyllis and David Komansky Children’s Hospital. Tickets can be purchased here.
Beginning today, “Frozen 2” product is available at all U.S. and Canada Saks stores and on Saks.com. Created in collaboration with designers like Roberto Coin, Hanna Andersson, Kipling, Barefoot Dreams, Converse and S’well, shoppers can purchase product inspired by the beautiful imagery and elements from the upcoming film. Exclusive to Saks are “Frozen 2” limited-edition Elsa and Anna dolls, available online and in stores today. Designed by Disney store artists, the dolls will awaken a new spirit of adventure in Disney fans and collectors alike.
Here is a sneak peek at some of the products coming:

In Disney+’s “Lady and the Tramp,” a timeless re-telling of the 1955 animated classic, a pampered house dog and a tough but lovable stray embark on an unexpected adventure and, despite their differences, grow closer and come to understand the value of home.
Life is good for Lady, an overachieving American Cocker Spaniel who resides in an upscale suburban neighborhood. Her owners, Jim Dear and Darling, spoil her daily and her neighbors, Jock, an outspoken Scottish Terrier and Trusty, a world-weary Bloodhound, are always within barking distance. But when a baby enters the picture, Lady is no longer the center of attention, and the arrival of cat-loving Aunt Sarah only complicates matters. Lady soon finds herself alone on the streets in an unwelcoming part of town.
Fortunately, Tramp steps in, and the streetwise mongrel is quick to teach her the ways of the world. Before long, the prim and proper pure bred and the fast-talking mutt are partaking in moonlight strolls in the park and romantic spaghetti dinners by candlelight. Tramp savors the independence of a world without leashes or fences alongside his roguish friends Peg and Bull, but Lady misses the comfort and safety of a family, and soon both must decide where – and with whom – they belong.
A heartwarming romantic adventure that seamlessly combines live action and photorealistic animation, “Lady and the Tramp” stars: Tessa Thompson as the voice of Lady and Justin Theroux as the voice of Tramp; Kiersey Clemons as Darling; Thomas Mann as Jim Dear; Janelle Monáe as the voice of Peg; Yvette Nicole Brown as Aunt Sarah; and Sam Elliott as the voice of Trusty. The film is directed by Charlie Bean from a screenplay by Andrew Bujalski and Kari Granlund, and is produced by Brigham Taylor, p.g.a., with Diane L. Sabatini serving as executive producer.
“Lady and the Tramp” premieres on November 12, 2019, streaming only on Disney+.
Here is a look at the all-new trailer for Disney’s Lady and the Tramp
