Disney has released the full food and beverage lineup for the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. This year’s event features 186 total offerings, including 98 brand-new items distributed across 20 different Holiday Kitchens.
What's new
Two new Holiday Kitchens are joining the festival lineup for 2026: Diwali Holiday Kitchen and Season’s Eatings.
At the Diwali Holiday Kitchen, guests can find new items such as Pani Puri and a Thandai Milkshake. Season’s Eatings, located at CommuniCore Plaza, will serve a Holly Jolly Bánh Mì—a smoked turkey sandwich with cranberry-Chambord liqueur mayonnaise—and Reuben Croquettes.
Other notable new food items include:
* Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow (CommuniCore Hall): The Prototype Cookie, which is a caramel blondie with peanut butter buttercream and TWIX cookie bar pieces.
* Connections Café: A Wreath Matcha Mochi Doughnut.
* Connections Eatery: Sausage Pizza with Calabrian honey and a Mistletoe Margarita made with coconut milk and tequila.
* Holiday Hearth Desserts (The Odyssey): Peppermint Bark and a Hot Chocolate Mousse Cup.
For those participating in the Holiday Cookie Stroll, a new Disney PhotoPass Magic Shot is available. Located near the Christmas tree at the entrance of World Showcase, photographers will have a cookie tray prop for guest photos.
When and where
The festival runs from November 27 through December 30, 2026, at EPCOT. Holiday Kitchens are located throughout the park, with major hubs at CommuniCore Hall, CommuniCore Plaza, The Odyssey, and around the World Showcase lagoon.
In addition to the food booths, the festival includes several entertainment offerings:
* The Candlelight Processional
* Holiday Storytellers at World Showcase pavilions
* Voices of Liberty Dickens Carolers
* JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season
What it means for your visit
With nearly 100 new items and two new kitchens, crowds are likely to be highest at CommuniCore Plaza and CommuniCore Hall during the opening weeks as guests try the new menus. If you plan to complete the Holiday Cookie Stroll, you must purchase five specific cookies from the festival passport to earn a "special sweet treat" from the Holiday Sweets & Treats booth.
To manage payments while balancing food and drinks, Disney is offering a wearable gift card wristlet featuring Mickey and Minnie. These are available at merchandise locations throughout the park.
If you are attending the Candlelight Processional, be aware that these performances draw significant crowds to the American Adventure pavilion. Planning your meal stops at nearby kitchens like L’Chaim! or Bavaria Holiday Kitchen during showtimes may result in shorter lines at those specific booths while others are watching the performance.
