If Baby Yoda Doesn't Come for Christmas, Blame Coronavirus
Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) missed a bonanza last Christmas. Thanks to coronavirus, it may miss another bonanza this Christmas as well.
Hoping to keep its popular "Baby Yoda" character from The Mandalorian a secret, Disney delayed ordering toys based on the character (officially known as "The Child") for as long as possible. Because The Mandalorian premiered with the advent of the Disney+ streaming service on Nov. 12, 2019, there were no Baby Yodas on store shelves in time for Christmas last year.
