It’s officially our favorite time of year, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays lineup for 2026 has us making a very long snack list! The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth runs Nov. 27 through Dec. 30, 2026, with 186 food and beverage offerings, including 98 brand-new items, across 20 Holiday Kitchens. After going through every festive treat, cozy sip and fun souvenir, we put together the food, beverages and novelties we are looking forward to the most.
There are even two brand-new Holiday Kitchens this year, Diwali Holiday Kitchen and Season’s Eatings, so you know we’re heading there first. (Planning your whole festival day? Don’t miss our 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays guide, and if you’re heading out west too, check out the Disneyland holiday food we’re looking forward to!)
New EPCOT Festival of the Holidays 2026 Treats and Sips We Can’t Wait to Try
Mickey-shaped Caramel-Gingerbread Macaron at Sunshine Seasons
Caramel and gingerbread in a Mickey-shaped macaron? That’s basically our two favorite holiday flavors wearing ears. This one is going straight to the top of our list.
Pani Puri at Diwali Holiday Kitchen
The all-new Diwali Holiday Kitchen is the one we’re most curious about, and these crispy shells filled with curry-spiced potatoes and chickpeas and served with tamarind water are first on our list. They’re plant-based too, and we’re planning to wash them down with the new Thandai Milkshake with almond, fennel, cardamom and saffron flavors topped with rose petals and toasted almonds.
Chicken Biryani at Diwali Holiday Kitchen
Spicy chicken and long-grain basmati rice topped with yogurt sauce, pomegranate seeds and bird’s eye chilis sounds like the perfect hearty bite between World Showcase strolls. We love seeing this kind of flavor at the festival.
Holly Jolly Bánh Mì at Season’s Eatings
A Vietnamese-style sandwich with smoked turkey, cranberry-Chambord liqueur mayonnaise, pickled vegetables, cucumbers, Fresno chilis and cilantro is such a fun holiday twist. Honestly, the name alone sold us. (The Reuben Croquettes at this brand-new kitchen are calling our name too!)
Cranberry-Almond Frangipane Bar at Season’s Eatings
Cranberry-cherry compote, whipped cream and a candied orange peel on an almond frangipane bar looks way too pretty to eat. We’ll manage, though.
Prototype Cookie at Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow
A caramel blondie with peanut butter buttercream and TWIX cookie bar pieces on a shortbread cookie? This is the cookie we’ve been waiting for, and we fully expect it to be the one everyone is talking about this season.
Snickerdoodle Milkshake at Sunshine Seasons
A snickerdoodle milkshake topped with a spiced cookie and a snickerdoodle Bundt cake is gloriously over the top. It’s dessert on top of dessert, and we’re here for it.
London, England: The English Pub Poutine at La Poutinerie
Chips, cheese curds and bangers topped with caramelized onion gravy is pure comfort food. This is our go-to when we need something savory after one too many cookies.
Carbonara at Tuscany Holiday Kitchen
Cheese tortellini in carbonara sauce with pecorino romano and crispy pancetta is creamy, cozy and exactly what we want on a chilly EPCOT night (if Florida gives us one!).
Mistletoe Margarita at Connections Eatery
Teremana Blanco Tequila, lime, agave and Grand Marnier with coconut milk, garnished with cranberries and rosemary, sounds like a festive toast before we even reach World Showcase.
Returning Holiday Favorites We Are Excited to Eat Again
Lomilomi Salmon at Mele Kalikimaka Holiday Kitchen
Salmon with tomatoes, onions, salmon roe and yuzu mayonnaise served with yuca chips is light, fresh and such a nice break from all the sweets. We’re so happy to see it back.
Potato Latkes at L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen
Crispy potato latkes are a must for us every single year. They’re simple, they’re plant-based and they taste like the holidays.
Hazelnut Linzer Cookie at Bavaria Holiday Kitchen
This hazelnut Linzer cookie with raspberry jam is a classic, and it counts toward the Holiday Cookie Stroll! Buy five stamped cookie stroll items, then redeem your Festival Passport at Holiday Sweets & Treats for a special sweet treat.
Glühwein at Bavaria Holiday Kitchen
House-made hot spiced wine served warm is the closest thing to a European Christmas market we can get without a passport. We’ll be sipping one while we stroll Germany.
Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie at Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow
A cookie shaped like the EPCOT icon itself? It’s adorable, it’s salted caramel and it makes the best photo.
Sushi Tree Roll at Shi Wasu Holiday Kitchen
A Christmas tree-shaped sushi roll with krab meat and cream cheese, garnished with spicy mayonnaise and colorful rice pearls, is one of the most festive things at the whole festival. We smile every time we see it.
Slow-roasted Turkey at American Holiday Table
Turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce is a full holiday dinner in festival size. We love it every single year.
Macaron de Noël aux Épices at Le Marché de Noël Holiday Kitchen
A large gingerbread macaron with a spiced filling is our idea of the perfect France stop. Grab a napkin, because it’s worth every crumb.
Pan de Jamón at Nochebuena Cocina
Traditional Latin Christmas bread rolled with ham, raisins and green olives is sweet, salty and totally unique. It’s one of those dishes we always tell friends to try.
Fire-roasted Chestnuts at Chestnuts & Good Cheer Holiday Kitchen
Nothing says the holidays like the smell of chestnuts roasting. We’ll be walking around World Showcase with a warm bag of these and humming you-know-what.
Holiday Novelties We Have to Bring Home
Of course, we can’t forget the souvenirs! This year there’s one festival novelty at the very top of our list, and we’re planning to grab it early.
New Figment Holiday Sweater Bucket with Jelly Doughnut Popcorn at Holiday Hearth Desserts
Figment in a cozy holiday sweater might be the cutest popcorn bucket we’ve seen all year, and it comes filled with jelly doughnut popcorn! It’s available while supplies last and limited to two per person, per transaction, so this is our number one souvenir pick.
Mickey and Minnie Disney Gift Card Wristlet at select merchandise locations throughout EPCOT
This year’s wearable gift card features Mickey and Minnie in their winter best, and it makes paying at the Holiday Kitchens so easy. It’s practical and festive, which is our favorite kind of souvenir.
And for the cookie lovers, don’t miss the new Disney PhotoPass Magic Shot with the cookie tray prop near the Christmas tree at the entrance of World Showcase. It’s the perfect keepsake from a Holiday Cookie Stroll day!
Our Thoughts
Honestly, this might be our favorite EPCOT holiday lineup yet. Between the new Pani Puri at Diwali Holiday Kitchen, that Prototype Cookie, our beloved Lomilomi Salmon and the adorable Figment Holiday Sweater Bucket, our snack list is already way too long, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Add in the Holiday Storytellers, the Voices of Liberty Dickens Carolers, JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season and the Candlelight Processional, and we can’t wait to eat, sip and sing our way through the season!
