Hop into a tractor trailer and go square dancing with Mater himself over at Mater’s Jingle Jamboree – a holiday overlay for Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree – in Radiator Springs (or Cars Land, as it’s officially called). Guests take a seat in the trailers of each vehicle and hang on as the tractors’ dance moves send those trailers whipping and whirling around.
During the holidays at Disneyland Resort, Mater’s Jingle Jamboree changes its music to classic holiday tunes with some tow-riffic lyrics by the pickup himself (and you’ll see some festive decorations, too).

Is Mater’s Jingle Jamboree Kid-Friendly?
Mater’s Jingle Jamboree is very kid-friendly, and it’s the perfect pick for any Mater fans in your life who are looking for a slightly more thrilling kids’ attraction. While it doesn’t move fast and the tractors’ dancing won’t frighten first-time riders, the whip-style movement of the trailers adds an exciting element.
Just note that there is a height requirement for this ride, and the whip motion can be both surprisingly fast and include a bit of a bang when you hit the end of the swing. This may be a little jarring for the littlest guests.
Best For: School-age kids and up who enjoy rides with a little speed and unpredictability, or anyone who’s a Cars fan.
Will Mater’s Jingle Jamboree Cause Motion Sickness?
Mater’s Jingle Jamboree shouldn’t cause motion sickness for most guests, but the swinging whip-style movement and dancing turns may pose an issue for some.
