The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and, obviously, really good food. Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts take holiday eats to the next level, putting their own pixie-dusted twist on some classic treats. We’ve rounded up some of the treats we have to try this holiday season…let us know on Facebook and Twitter which ones are on your must-try list!
Disneyland Resort
Santa’s Mitten Macaron––Schmoozies, Disney California Adventure park
Mint chip ice cream snuggled between two mitten-shaped macarons? A treat that’s both delicious and destined for Instagram.
Gingerbread Funnel Cake Fries––Award Wieners, Disney California Adventure park
Hybrids of some of our favorite foods are always a good idea, and these gingerbread funnel cake fries seem like the best of both worlds.
Candy Cane Beignets––Mint Julep Bar, Disneyland park
A Disneyland classic paired with a holiday favorite seems like a match made in holiday treat heaven (Is that a place? Can we go there?).
Cookie Butter and Jelly Cheesecake––Holiday Duets, Festival of Holidays, Disney California Adventure park
You’ve heard of PB&J, but have you heard of CB&J? Cookie butter and jelly meet cheesecake in this delightful dessert.
Frosty Frosé––A Twist on Tradition, Festival of Holidays, Disney California Adventure park
Frosé may seem like an odd choice if you’re experiencing actual winter weather, but here in Southern California, this frozen rosé with blue curacao and white cranberry juice is a welcome treat in the December heat.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate Churro––Town Square and Sleeping Beauty Castle Churro Carts, Disneyland park
Disneyland Resort has been doing some pretty crafty things with their churros lately, but this treatment might just be our favorite.
Mint Chocolate Soft Serve––Paradise Pier Ice Cream Company, Disney California Adventure park
Yep, you read that right: Mint Chocolate soft serve. Grabbing a cone at Paradise Pier just got merrier (or, sprinkle your soft serve with crushed candy canes at Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land).
Walt Disney World Resort
Red Velvet Whoopie Pie––Sweet Spells and Fairfax Fare, Disney’s Hollywood Studios
This looks like the perfect treat to enjoy as you take in the sights and sounds of Sunset Seasons Greetings.
Mickey Cinnamon Roll––Main Street Bakery, Magic Kingdom park
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again—everything tastes better when it’s Mickey-shaped. This sweet cinnamon roll, topped with festive frosting, is a sweet treat at any time of the day.
Red Velvet Mickey Waffles––Sleepy Hollow Refreshments, Magic Kingdom park
Available only during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Mickey waffles get the holiday treatment with a rich red velvet flavor.
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Mousse––Satu’li Canteen, Flame Tree Barbecue, and Pizzafari, Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We love the blueberry cream cheese mousse served at Satu’li Canteen, so we’re sure this seasonal take on the fan-favorite treat will be delicious.
Maple Bûche de Noël––Yukon Holiday Kitchen, Canada, Epcot
There are tons of eats to try during Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, but we’ve got our eye on this maple Bûche de Noël in the Canada pavilion.
