Frozen 3 is officially on its way and the first new details have arrived with all the wintry magic fans hoped for. Disney confirmed at D23 that Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf will return to cinemas on 24 November 2027, while newly revealed animation hints at a mysterious villainess with powers to rival Elsa’s.

For interiors lovers, the announcement is also a lovely excuse to revisit one of winter’s most enduring looks: icy blue, crisp white, sculptural stars and softly glowing light. You do not need character merchandise to capture that sense of enchantment. A few carefully chosen paper star lanterns can create a grown-up fairytale mood that feels magical now and remains beautiful long after the film arrives.

What has Disney announced about Frozen 3?

At its D23 showcase on 14 August 2026, Disney revealed new animation featuring Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven. The footage teased a new villainess whose powers may rival Elsa’s, while cast members Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad introduced new music. Disney says Frozen 3 will be released in cinemas on 24 November 2027. Plot details remain limited, which leaves plenty of room for anticipation—and winter-inspired decorating.

How to create an icy fairytale interior

The simplest formula is blue + white + warm light. Cool colours create the snow-and-ice feeling; warm illumination stops the room becoming stark. Keep the background calm, then vary the size and shape of your stars to add movement.

1. Start with one deep blue statement star

A saturated blue gives the scheme depth. Firework Sea Blue has a rich blue base with tiny points of light, creating the feeling of a winter night sky when illuminated. For a larger, more architectural silhouette, North Star Sea Blue makes a striking focal point in a window, hallway or party setting.

2. Layer in crisp white stars

White stars lift the darker blue and reflect light around the room. Our bestselling Venus White has a clean seven-point shape with hand-cut details, while the many-pointed Sunny White works beautifully as a snowflake-like centrepiece.

For the most convincing display, hang stars at different heights rather than arranging them in a straight line. An odd-numbered group—three or five—usually feels relaxed and balanced.

3. Add a Nordic decorating layer

Nordic winter interiors are less about novelty and more about texture, simplicity and light. Pair white paper stars with pale wood, soft wool, silver details, glass and natural greenery. The active Prosecco Bundle brings together three white, nine-pointed Scandi-style stars for an instant coordinated display.

An icy blue gifting edit

A paper star lantern makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves celestial décor, winter styling or softly lit interiors. Choose blue for a bolder, storybook feel or white for a versatile present that works throughout the year.

• For the colour lover: Firework Sea Blue.
• For the celestial maximalist: North Star Sea Blue.
• For the minimalist: Venus White.
• For a ready-made set: The Prosecco Bundle.

Our lanterns can be bought on their own or with a compatible lighting option where shown. Always select the option on the product page that best suits the room and display you have in mind.

Ideas for a winter party or film night

For a subtle fairytale atmosphere, switch off the main overhead light and use several low-glow light sources around the room. Hang one blue star behind a drinks or dessert table, add white stars near a window, then finish with silver ribbon, paper snowflakes and clear glassware. Keeping the palette to two or three colours makes even a playful theme feel polished.

The same arrangement can be reused for Christmas, winter birthdays, New Year gatherings and cosy film nights, making it a more considered alternative to single-use themed decorations.
