I'm afraid to say that I'm one of those people who gets excited about spooky season at some point in late August, and Disney Halloween merch isn't helping.

I mean, really. The House of Mouse goes all in on the creepiest time of year with bespoke clothing, accessories, and decorations that are simply bloody delightful. My latest obsession? This Disney Halloween light-up Mickey Mouse Pumpkin.

My office space has been in need of a spruce-up recently, and it's definitely missing some homey touches. That's why this Mickey Mouse Pumpkin is so perfect as we enter Fall. It's got that patented Disney charm (Mickey looks so happy, bless him) to go with an ability to glow in three different colors. Because LEDs make everything cozier, right? You can get this in a couple of sizes, and a larger version is available, but I opted for the small one as it could sit on my desk. A matching Minnie Mouse version is up for grabs too, alongside a version with Minnie and Mickey together.

I was sent a copy by Disney as part of a preview for its Halloween range, and even though it wasn't necessarily the thing I was looking forward to most (that honor goes to my favorite Disney Halloween decoration ever), it quickly became a standout. As the name would suggest, it glows one of three colors when activated – a moody red, yellow, or orange. You simply tap the ornament to switch between these shades, and thanks to a 30 or 60-minute timer, you can avoid wasting battery power.

It's of a higher quality than I'd expected, too; the build materials feel more premium.

One of the things that appeals to me most is how it isn't just a Mickey face carved into a pumpkin, either. It's actually based on the giant Mickey pumpkin design that stands in pride of place on Main Street U.S.A in Disneyland every Halloween season. That makes this smaller version a way to bring a piece of the parks back home with you, which I'm always in favor of.

You can always combine it with the matching Minnie Mouse Pumpkin Lantern too, or go for the larger counterparts that are identical other than being a heck of a lot bigger. Want to put something outside your door come Halloween to welcome in the spirits? This is a good option.

It's unclear how long this will stay in stock, though. Once the year's Halloween merch has sold out at the Disney, it tends to vanish from shelves until the following Fall.

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
