Seasons eatings! The holidays bring us all together and this couldn’t be more true than with Disney Festival of Holidays at Disneyland Resort. This joyous occasion, held from Nov. 15, 2024, through Jan. 6, 2025, celebrates a diverse season of celebrations in Southern California. The limited-time menu items highlight a range of holiday festivities, including Christmas, Navidad, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, and Three Kings Day!
The culinary teams have drawn inspiration from these merriments to create a variety of sips and bites that will transport you on a festive foodie adventure. The new Sticky Toffee Pudding Macaron and Al Pastor Pork & Pineapple Slider are a must-try, with returning favorites like the Mickey-shaped Gingerbread Cookie back to dazzle your taste buds.
