3 Holiday Dining Experiences Coming to Disneyland Resort

It’s the most wonderful (and tasty) time of the year! Well, almost. As the holiday season is just around the corner, you know what that means – holiday bites are too. And this year, Disneyland Resort has three won’t want to miss. Santa is even dropping in from the North Pole for one of them.

You’ll be able to indulge in festive fun with Holiday Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Hearthstone Lounge, the adorable Mickey’s Holiday Pajama Party Breakfast and Brunch at Storytellers Cafe, and Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates the Holidays. All of these yuletide festivities will add an extra holiday touch to you and your family’s festivities. Advanced reservations are highly recommended for all of these tasty outings.

What do you say we unwrap these experiences on the way to Disneyland Resort?

First up, we’re jingling all the way over to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa with Holiday Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Hearthstone Lounge. On select days from December 3 through December 24, 2024, you’ll be able to join none other than Santa and Mrs. Claus for a special tea party. But this isn’t your average tea party – Mrs. Claus has been hard at work putting together a tasty selection of holiday-inspired bites.

This elevated holiday experience also features a variety of premium loose-leaf teas, the finest tea sandwiches, and delicately prepared treats to put you in the spirit of the season. Some of the holly highlights include a caprese salad, shrimp salad, prime Holstein tea sandwiches, truffled Christmas egg, and scones. You can enjoy a Classic Tea, Premium Tea, or Deluxe Tea experience, with the Deluxe Tea including strawberries and chantilly cream and a glass of champagne.

Be sure to say hello and grab some photos with your hosts – Santa and Mrs. Claus – before they must head back to the North Pole for the big day. Guests will be able to enjoy a unique interaction with Santa and Mrs. Claus as they share stories of the joy of holiday baking with family and friends and the fine (and fun) art of sipping tea. You may hear “Jingle Bells” play throughout the restaurant during their dining experience!

Bookings open on October 31 for this brand-new, one-of-a-kind experience the whole family will love!

We don’t need to venture far for our next stop on this holiday foodie adventure. This holiday season, Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will host Mickey and his pals in their festive and coziest fashion for Mickey’s Holiday Pajama Party Breakfast and Brunch. From November 19 through January 1, 2025, the gang will be welcoming you to their pajama party as you feast upon the delicious offerings, including some seasonally themed bites, amid yuletide décor around the dining room. You bring your appetite, and we’ll bring the holiday cheer.

As the sun goes down, you can also indulge in the Storytellers Cafe Holiday Dinner. While Mickey and friends won’t appear during dinner, there’s still plenty of foodie fun to be had. Your taste buds will be more than satisfied with the all-you-care-to-enjoy holiday dinner buffet. For those visiting on Thanksgiving, you can also enjoy these can’t-miss experiences on November 28, too!

Last, but certainly not least, we’re heading over to the Disneyland Hotel where there are even more merry moments to be had at Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates the Holidays. Goofy and his friends have busted out their merry best to welcome you to this holly, jolly dining experience from November 19 through January 2, 2025.

As they greet their guests throughout the dining room, you’ll be able to treat yourself to a selection of delicious bites, including some limited-time holiday delights. Whether joining for breakfast, brunch, or dinner service, Goofy and the team will be bringing the season’s greetings all day long.
