Let’s take a look at all the tasty treats that are coming to Walt Disney World for this holiday season. There are a few epic treats coming to the parks that will get you into the holiday spirit. I’ll be giving my thoughts on them too.
EPCOT
The initial EPCOT treat list is light but that will change as Disney announces the food lineup for the Taste of EPCO International Festival of the Holidays.
Spiked Frozen Apple Pie — Ole Smoky Apple Pie Moonshine with Minute Maid® Apple Juice and Cinnamon (Available at Block & Hans now — Dec. 31)
Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Sneak Peek! Maple Bûche de Noël — Maple mousse and cranberry rolled in gingerbread chiffon cake.
I don’t think I would get any of these treats but I’m sure I would get some of the items coming to Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.
Animal Kingdom
White–Chocolate Peppermint Cream Cheese Mousse — White chocolate peppermint cream cheese mousse with peppermint sauce and chocolate cookie crumbles (Available at Satu’li Canteen Dec. 20 — Jan. 2). Who knew they celebrated Christmas in Pandora?
Menagerie Cupcake — Gingerbread cupcake with cream cheese frosting topped with a white chocolate bear (Available at Creature Comforts, Flame Tree Barbecue, and Restaurantosaurus Dec. 1–30). This cupcake sounds pretty epic, even though sometimes gingerbread at Disney can be hit or miss.
Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwich — Vanilla Ice Cream sandwiched between two pumpkin cookies decorated with fall sprinkles (Available at Dino–Bite Snacks Nov. 1–30). This ice cream sandwich looks delicious. I think this item would be hard to screw up.
Santa Mickey Mousse — White chocolate peppermint mousse dome on a brownie base, snowflake sprinkles, and chocolate Mickey ears (Available at Creature Comforts Dec. 1– Jan. 2). I’m all for chocolate Mickey ears and brownies but I’m simply not a peppermint guy.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Frozen Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate — Frozen salted caramel hot chocolate topped with marshmallows, green sugar, and a chocolate drizzle served with a souvenir Mickey Glow (Available at PizzeRizzo, Backlot Express, ABC Commissary, and Rosie’s All–American Café Nov. 6 — Jan. 4). Definitely would drink this.
Mickey’s Holiday Cookie — Vanilla butter cookie enrobed with white chocolate and sugar snowflakes (Available at ABC Commissary and Rosie’s All–American Café Nov. 6 — Jan. 4). Definitely would eat this.
Holiday Whoopie Pie — Red velvet whoopie pie filled with a classic cream cheese filling (Available at The Trolley Car Café and Backlot Express Nov. 6 — Jan. 4). Definitely would try this.
Olaf’s Snow Flurry — Yellow cupcake with vanilla buttercream, snow flurry sugar, and Olaf Glow (Available at Rosie’s All–American Café Nov. 6 — Jan. 4). Definitely would eat this! Olaf is a plus too.
So, far Hollywood Studios has the best treats on paper.
Magic Kingdom
Twice Upon a Cupcake — A confetti Christmas tree tops a vanilla cupcake with a red velvet hidden Mickey (Available at Main Street Bakery Nov. 6 — Dec. 30). This looks and sounds absolutely awesome.
Let it Snow Taco — Sugar cookie “taco shell” filled with salted caramel and spiced chocolate mousse (Available at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe Nov. 6 — Dec. 30). I love that this item is specifically themed to the place it is being served in. I also think this item would be tasty.
An Orange Bird Christmas — Orange–scented white chocolate mousse filled with orange curd (Available at Sunshine Tree Terrace Nov. 6 — Dec. 30). I feel like this item would be a toss-up it depends how heavy on the orange they go. A missed opportunity to just do a Fanta Orange float.
Chip and Dale Christmas Churros — Gingerbread churros topped with apple pie filling and chocolate chips (Available at Westward Ho Nov. 6 — Dec. 30). Confession time: I’ve never had a churro from Disney. Maybe this would be a good place to start?
Pistachio Chai Tea Float — Pistachio soft–serve, spiced chai tea, and a red velvet cake pop ornament (Available at Aloha Isle Nov. 6 — Dec. 30). This is a no from me.
