What is Winterspell about?

Glimmers from Disney’s Mickey’s Christmas Carol will carol their way into your decks… ghosts and all! With over 200 cards in the forecast, you’ll love experiencing the magic that arrives with this winter season.

Even though these glimmers are used to the tropical heat, they’re turning this snow day into the ultimate play day. And with the wintry winds come Angel, Reuben, Slushy, and more experiments from Disney Lilo & Stitch: The Series, ready to join the snowball fights and snowboarding runs.

You no longer need to wonder if Pocahontas and her forest friends are near. Making their realm debut, these glimmers can’t wait to explore the forests of Lorcana, now blanketed in snow. With her strength and kindness, this heroine will lead you to exciting adventures.

As a mysterious vine begins to grow in the Inklands, an Elsa glimmer attempts to stop its growth with her mystical powers. However, this inadvertently causes a winter storm to blow through the realm. In this adventure, you’ll not only happen upon this incredible Ice Artisan, but other glimmers donning crisp new looks.

These wintry conditions are perfect for these unlikely friends to embark on a new adventure. Scamper around the snowbanks with them, and you may even run into glimmers of Big Mama, Vixey, Boomer, Dinky, and the ever-caring Widow Tweed.

What is Lorcana?

Disney Lorcana is a game where you team up with your favorite Disney characters and embark on exciting adventures! In the magical realm of Lorcana, you’ll work with your team of characters in a race for prized story stars. This immersive trading card game involves collecting cards and building decks, offers fun and strategic play, and lets you play against one or more opponents.
