The Ultimate Holiday Cookie Stroll

For those with a sweet tooth, the Holiday Cookie Stroll is a must-do tradition. You grab a Festival Passport, collect stamps for each cookie purchased, and earn a “completer” prize at the end. It’s a fun way to taste your way around the world. Our top picks this year include:

  • Ginger-Molasses Cookie: A brand-new addition featuring a soft, spiced base topped with rich cream cheese icing.

Sip and Be Merry: The Hot Cocoa Flight

If you need something to wash down all those cookies, there is a new drink option that was practically screaming our names: the Festive Flight featuring Hot Cocoa by Joffrey’s.

  • Christmas Sugar Cookie Hot Cocoa: Topped with whipped cream and festive sprinkles.
  • Gingerbread Hot Cocoa: Topped with whipped cream and a cute gingerbread garnish.
  • Cookie Butter Hot Cocoa: Topped with whipped cream and aromatic speculoos spice.

Must-Try Savory Dishes

While the sweets are spectacular, the savory dishes are what keep us coming back for seconds. Here are the items that topped our list this year:

Turkey Poutine * Location: Refreshment Port (Near Canada)

  • The Dish: This is easily our number one food item. It’s a festive twist on a classic, using sweet potato fries topped with turkey gravy, cranberry relish, and crispy onions. It’s essentially “Thanksgiving in a bowl.”

Sushi Tree Roll

  • Location: Shi Wasu Holiday Kitchen (Japan)
  • The Dish: This is as much a work of art as it is a snack. It’s a Christmas tree-shaped sushi roll filled with krab meat and cream cheese, garnished with spicy mayo and colorful rice pearls that look like tiny ornaments.

Reuben Croquettes

  • Location: Favorites of Festivals Past (CommuniCore Plaza)
  • The Dish: A clever take on the classic sandwich. These crispy bites are packed with pastrami, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, served with a side of Thousand Island dipping sauce for the perfect tangy finish.

Red Velvet Cookie Funnel Cake

If you still have room after your cookie stroll, head over to the American Adventure pavilion for a true showstopper.
