From the above link:
We just got word from our friends in Walt Disney Imagineering that an Adventureland attraction will receive its first-ever holiday makeover this year. Beginning in early November, Jungle Cruise at both Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom Park will temporarily transform into “Jingle Cruise” for the holiday season!
In this new seasonal storyline of the attraction, the Skippers have grown homesick for the holidays, so they’ve added holiday cheer to the Jungle Cruise queue and boathouse with decorations that have been mailed to them from home (plus a few they’ve created themselves). The Skippers have also added a slew of new jokes to their tours that are the perfect way to get guests in the holiday spirit. Additionally, Jungle Cruise boats have been renamed with the holidays in mind, and if guests listen carefully, they may hear a holiday-themed radio broadcast playing in the background.

Jingle Cruise will begin launches in early November at both parks. Be sure to keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog for more updates!

The holiday overlay for the Jungle Cruise will be for the boats, queue, and skippers' spiels and not the jungle display.

MousePlanet-Disneyland Update

I was hoping to see a gorilla Santa Claus or having a reindeer replacing the rhino in the lost safari or having Trader Sam have his heads giftwrapped.

I like the holiday (Christmas) tree they set up.

just got back from disney. The jungle cruise for the holidays was done clever. The tree posted in the pic of above, burlap sacks as present wrapping, christmas lights draped random places and burlap sacks made into snowmen. Its didn't take anything away from the ride for me.
