The Disney+ Subscription Card is the ultimate last-minute Christmas gift

By Lucas Coll Published April 21, 2022

Christmas is only a few days away now, and with retailers and delivery partners overloaded due to the increase in online shopping this year, it’s most likely too late to order physical gifts online and have them arrive in time (unless you’re willing to shell out the extra cash for express shipping, although even that window is rapidly closing). Thankfully, digital subscriptions make for excellent last-minute Christmas gifts, so if you’re frantically shopping around online for something you can give on the 25th, then the Disney+ Subscription Card might be just the ticket. Read on to find out more.

In an increasingly crowded field of online streaming services, Disney+ is a relative newcomer to the scene. It quickly caught on a big way, however, and now serves as an all-in-one streaming hub for everything Disney. That huge (and growing) content library includes Disney and Pixar films along with everything else that exists in the House of Mouse, such as Marvel movies, National Geographic productions, exclusive Disney+ shows, and Star Wars films and series like The Mandalorian. Disney+ even has the complete 30-year catalog of The Simpsons now, including holiday specials.

All that makes the Disney+ Subscription Card is the perfect last-minute Christmas gift for Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars fans. Disney+ is compatible with virtually all modern devices capable of streaming as well. That covers PC web browsers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and even Xbox and PlayStation gaming consoles. Even if you’re thinking of getting the Disney+ Subscription Card as a last-minute Christmas gift for someone who isn’t an avid streamer, you can rest assured that they’ll still be able to enjoy full access to the entire Disney+ catalog of shows and movies.

Gifting a Disney+ Subscription Card could not be easier. You simply pay $70 for a year’s worth of Disney+ to be emailed to the recipient on a day of your choosing — most likely Christmas Day, if that’s what you’re shopping for. The subscription will be activated when it’s sent out so not a day is missed. Note, however, that the one-year Disney+ Subscription Card can only be redeemed by new members; current members cannot use the card for their existing subscription.

10 years ago, Disney released the most underrated Marvel superhero movie ever

A blimp soars above the clouds in Big Hero 6.

The superhero genre has become remarkably overcrowded over the last 15 years. The Marvel Cinematic Universe and Christopher Nolan-led redefining of the genre in the late 2000s and early 2010s paved the way for an era of Hollywood dominated by movie characters in capes and villains with world-ending plans. Whether that era is still going is up for debate, but it led to a few years there — roughly 2014-2023 — where superhero movies and TV shows genuinely felt like they were everywhere, and sometimes to a suffocating degree. That doesn't mean, however, that certain superhero films haven't fallen through the cracks here and there over the past 10 years.

Andor season 2 is coming sooner than a lot of Star Wars fans thought

Cassian stands by a hillside in Andor season 1.

It looks like Lucasfilm may have accidentally revealed the long-awaited premiere date for Andor season 2, and on the Disney+ mobile app, no less. Early Saturday morning, some eagle-eyed users noticed a new date attached to the bottom of the app's Andor streaming tile. The date in question promises that Andor season 2 is coming April 22, 2025.

It isn't just possible but likely that this Disney+ update was made earlier than Lucasfilm planned. Not only was it added to the streaming service's mobile app with no accompanying announcement or comment from Lucasfilm, but Disney is also in the midst of hosting its D23 Brazil convention this weekend. The event has already given fans their first look at Diego Luna's Cassian Andor in Andor season 2, and it's possible that the show's return date was being saved for D23 Brazil as well.

WandaVision creator reveals the series’ scrapped MCU cameo

Marvel Studios' WandaVision spawned countless fan theories when it originally aired in early 2021. Many of the theories that sprouted around it turned out to be incorrect. The most well-known among these is the belief certain viewers had that WandaVision's final episodes would reveal a red-skinned comic book figure named Mephisto as the show's secret villain. However, one strong rumor that also grew in the weeks leading up to WandaVision's finale back in March 2021 was that Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) was going to make a surprise cameo appearance in the show.

That never ultimately came to pass, but it turns out that fans weren't entirely misguided in thinking it would. In a recent interview with Variety, WandaVision and Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer revealed that Stephen Strange was at one point supposed to appear in WandaVision. When asked if she could divulge any scrapped post-credits scenes that she's written for Marvel over the years, Schaeffer responded, "Yes. I’ll tell you this one, because it’s been a long time, and so maybe the statute of limitations is up on it. Initially, Doctor Strange was going to appear in the tag for WandaVision."
