Six Toy Story windows, more than 10,000 hours in the making, run free on Melbourne's Bourke Street Mall through Jan. 5. By our math, that's 60 days of Woody.
Woody and the gang have a new room for the holidays. It's a department store window in Australia.
Myer opened its 71st Christmas windows at its Bourke Street store in Melbourne on Saturday, Nov. 7, with a Toy Story theme made with Disney and Pixar. The display runs through Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2027. By our count, that's 60 days.
The six windows follow the picture book Merry Christmas, Woody, AAP reported. Crews spent more than 10,000 hours building them.
Families got a first look Friday, Nov. 6, with Santa and his elves in Bourke Street Mall. AAP reported that hundreds of thousands of families are expected. Myer said more than 1 million people saw the windows in 2024.
Myer executive chair Olivia Wirth hinted at this in October. "We are absolutely taking Christmas to the extreme," she told The Nightly, before the theme was public.
The windows opened the same week Myer's next-door rival, David Jones, went into voluntary administration, AAP reported. Wirth called that "really sad" and said the next six to 12 months will be tough for shoppers and stores.
Here's a walk past the windows from Melbourne family site Kiddiehood:
What's in the Myer Toy Story Christmas windows?
The story starts on a busy Christmas Eve in Andy's bedroom. Woody frets about finding the perfect gifts for his friends while the toys decorate, wrap presents and plan Buzz's Christmas party, Kiddiehood reported.
By the end, Woody learns the best gifts aren't always under the tree. You saw that coming. So did Woody, probably, around the third movie.
Here's what visitors are spotting so far:
Rex in a Santa suit
Buzz running a light show, with the aliens joining in
Slinky Dog, Bo Peep, Hamm and the Little Green Men around Andy's room
Jessie, Wheezy and Mr. Mike in the mix
Cotton-ball Christmas trees, each made from more than 100 handmade cotton balls
Melbourne family guide ToThotOrNot says every window hides Disney and Pixar nods, too.
Stage One creative and technical director John Kerr led the build, Kiddiehood reported. The team mixed more than 200 special paint colors, and over 100 of them went to the Toy Story characters alone.
MasterChef Australia judge Andy Allen narrates the story. Yes, a guy named Andy narrates a story set in Andy's room. He told AAP the script work was new for him, since "MasterChef is all essentially live."
When can you see the Myer Christmas windows?

Weekends and school holidays get busy, so Kiddiehood suggests a weekday visit.
What is the Toy Story Play Zone at Myer?
It's a free play area in the basement of the Bourke Street store, open through Christmas Eve. Kids can pose at Toy Story photo backdrops, read in a book corner and make a Forky or a Toy Story bauble at a free craft station.
There's also an interactive Lilypad. That's the tablet from Toy Story 5, so Myer is keeping its toys current.
Santa photos at Myer Santaland, on Level 7, start at 33 Australian dollars for two prints, ToThotOrNot reported.
Has Myer done Disney Christmas windows before?
Yes. Myer has run the windows since 1956, and Disney has dropped by before. Recent themes:
2022: Disney100, with about 40 characters, from Mary Poppins to Elsa's coronation, Laughing Place reported
2023: Bluey's Christmas, starring the Heeler family
2024: An Irwin's Christmas Story, with the Irwin family and Australia Zoo
2025: A 70th-anniversary LEGO display built from 488,215 bricks
Can you get a Toy Story Christmas without going to Melbourne?
Mostly, yes.
The book: Merry Christmas, Woody by Kristen L. Depken came out from Random House in 2013. It's 16 pages, for ages 3 to 7.
The movie: Toy Story 5, Lilypad and all, has streamed on Disney+ since Sept. 23.
The parks: Disney World's Toy Story gingerbread popcorn bucket is out for the holidays at $31.99.
A plane ticket to Melbourne costs more than all three combined.
