Dale stole Santa’s hat and beard, and Disney turned the evidence into a Christmas decoration. The Dale Light-Up Christmas “Candle” Figure recreates his disguise from Pluto’s Christmas Tree, right down to the poor Santa left standing beside him without either one.
That bareheaded Santa is the detail that makes this one. Dale is trying to blend in with the candles while still looking very much like a chipmunk in a stolen beard.
It lights up, but it isn’t a candle you burn
Disney Store lists the figure for $49.99. The sculpted display has Dale and two Santas together on a faux-wood-finish base, with flickering, flame-shaped LED lights above the hats.
Despite “candle” being in the name, this is a battery-powered decoration—not a wax candle with a wick. Disney lists resin, stone powder, LEDs and electronics among its materials. It takes three AAA batteries, which are included.
Check the width before clearing a spot
The whole display measures approximately 5¾ inches high, 7½ inches wide and 2¼ inches deep. That’s one compact scene rather than three separate candle figures to spread across a mantel. The straight-on product photo shows the full base and Dale’s disguise without the surrounding holiday greenery.
The design comes from Disney’s 1952 animated short Pluto’s Christmas Tree. You don’t need a whole matching collection for the joke to work; the missing hat and beard tell the story.
The figure was included in the Disney Store merchandise drop announced for October 26, and its U.S. listing was live at $49.99 when checked October 26, 2026. Check the listing for current stock and delivery details before ordering.
