Disney has released the official foodie guide for the 2026 holiday season at Walt Disney World Resort. The lineup includes a mix of new seasonal items and returning favorites available across the theme parks and Disney Springs.
What's new
Several new dishes and treats are joining the holiday lineup this year. At Magic Kingdom, The Plaza Restaurant is introducing a Classic Reuben Sandwich and a Red Velvet Cheesecake. Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Milk Stand and Backlot Express will serve a new Life Day Wookiee Cookie, featuring oatmeal cookies with cassis eggnog buttercream.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is debuting several items at Terra Treats, including a Festive Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich and a Reindeer Sundae made with dulce de leche ice cream and coffee-coconut streusel. Flame Tree Barbecue will also offer a new Gingerbread Cheesecake Pop.
At Disney Springs, Amorette’s Patisserie is introducing a Gingerbread Crème Brûlée, while Santa’s Holiday Grove will feature a Peppermint-Chocolate Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich.
When and where
Holiday food offerings roll out on a staggered schedule across the resort:
* Magic Kingdom: Most items are available from November 8 through January 2. However, The Plaza Restaurant begins its seasonal menu on November 1, and the Santa Surf Shack Float at Aloha Isle is only available through December 25.
* Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Seasonal treats are generally available from November 7 through January 5. The Hot Cocoa Lunch Box Tart at Woody’s Lunch Box will remain available longer, through January 31.
* Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Holiday items are available from November 6 through January 3.
* Disney Springs: Various locations will host seasonal treats, including returning favorites like the Hot Sipping Ganache at The Ganachery.
What it means for your visit
If you are visiting during the first week of November, note that holiday treats arrive at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios a few days earlier than at Magic Kingdom.
To save time, use the My Disney Experience app for mobile ordering at locations like Columbia Harbour House, ABC Commissary, and Rosie’s All-American Café. These seasonal items often draw high demand, so ordering your food during off-peak hours (before 11:30 a.m. or after 2:00 p.m.) can help you avoid long waits at quick-service windows.
For those with dietary restrictions, the Mickey Whoopie Pie at Liberty Square Market is a plant-based and flourless option. If you are looking for a full meal rather than just a snack, The Plaza Restaurant is the primary sit-down location mentioned with a specific holiday menu, so reservations are recommended.
