Disney4me Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is under way and we are trying every single booth. Yes, seriously! We have tried them all and we NEEDED to tell you about the one you can find in the American Adventure Pavilion. 2023 Booth The 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially begun and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, shows and storytellers to watch, souvenirs to grab (of course), and even a cookie stroll to complete. But don’t let it overwhelm you — we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — the American Holiday Table — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out! Menu Over at the American Holiday Table, you’ll find a variety of available items. You can enjoy Slow-roasted turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce or delight in the Blackened Catfish with Hoppin’ John and comeback sauce. Both of these main dishes are returning this year as well as the Gingerbread Cookie which is a Cookie Stroll Item. The gingerbread cookie here is part of this year’s COOKIE STROLL! Look out for the () emoji as we mark which items help earn you the Cookie Stroll prize at the end of the day! pic.twitter.com/TYWa1Xs062 — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) November 24, 2023 You can also enjoy a few beverages– the new Crooked Can Brewing Company Bah HOPbug IPA, the 3 Daughters Brewing Eggnog White Porter, the Playalinda Brewing Co. Peppermint Chocolate Stout, or all of them in a Beer Flight. The American Holiday Table is OPEN with some goodies returning this year! pic.twitter.com/iwixKjMXD5 — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) November 24, 2023 Look at this delicious-looking lineup of food items! We can’t wait to start tasting. American Holiday Table Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Here’s our line up from the American Holiday Table! Slow-roasted Turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce Blackened Catfish Gingerbread Cookie Beer Flight pic.twitter.com/ZByIxvKTeH — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) November 24, 2023 Eats First up, we grabbed the Slow-roasted Turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce. You can get this little meal for $6.25 Slow Roasted Turkey This is a returning dish that we have really enjoyed in the past! It’s like packing a whole Thanksgiving meal into one tray. It’s a bit of everything from a traditional Turkey Day dinner all in one bite. If you don’t enjoy all the flavors in one bite or your food touching, this might not be the dish for you. But if you are a fan of post-Thanksgiving sandwiches where all the flavors are combined, this is calling your name. Slow-roasted Turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce This year, we thought the turkey dish was a best of the fest item! It was so good. We loved how everything went so well together. The cranberry sauce wasn’t overwhelming, the mashed potatoes were creamy, Disney potatoes, the stuffing was light and soft, and the Turkey was melt-in-your-mouth juicy. Everything was covered in brown gravy which was so good. We also really liked the portion size of this item. Everything went so well together! Next, we picked up the Blackened Catfish with Hoppin’ John and comeback sauce. You can get this little meal for $6.75. Plus, it’s gluten/wheat friendly! Blackened Catfish This is also a returning dish that we raved over last year. It was new in 2022, and we are so happy to see that it’s back. We remember this being one of the best festival foods we’ve possibly ever eaten and this year, it’s back and just as good as we remember. Blackened Catfish with Hoppin’ John and comeback sauce We’re also including the Blackened Catfish on our Best of the Fest list for 2023! It has a nice spicy kick that reminded us of flavorful Cajun seasoning. The catfish was fall-off-the-fork tender. The rice and beans were also flavored with spices and seasonings that complimented the catfish nicely. We would definitely recommend this. So flavorful and tender! Last, we had to try out the cookie stroll Gingerbread Cookie! You can get this little meal for $3. Plus, it’s gluten/wheat friendly! Gingerbread Cookie We noticed this was a pretty standard gingerbread cookie. It seemed to have more ginger flavor than a sugary cookie. It’s good since it is on the cookie stroll, but otherwise, we might not just pick this up. Drinks In terms of drinks at this booth, we got the Beer Flight for $10.25. With the Beer Flight, we got to try all three beer options– the returning 3 Daughters Brewing Eggnog White Porter, the Playalinda Brewing Co. Peppermint Chocolate Stout, and the NEW Crooked Can Brewing Company Bah HOPbug IPA. Here’s a closer look at that beer flight from the American Holiday Table! pic.twitter.com/BLicXFgQIP — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) November 24, 2023 The new Bah HOPbug IPA is definitely named correctly for its hops. If you are a fan of hoppy IPAs then you would probably enjoy this one! There is a sweetness hiding behind the hops and it’s nice and light. It’s an easy beer to sip and enjoy. Crooked Can Bah Hopbug ipa We would recommend leaving the peppermint stout for last on this flight. It’s hearty and very rich, as a good stout should be. You can also get that peppermint flavor coming through which is a nice touch if you enjoy a good holiday peppermint treat. Peppermint Chocolate Stout We found this to be our least favorite of the three on the flight. The eggnog was a hard flavor to pull out in the beer which was on the heavier side since it’s a porter. If you’re looking for a lighter option, we would suggest the IPA over this. Eggnog White Porter OVERALL This is definitely a must-visit booth. The two main course options here are both on our best-of-the-fest list and are great portions for their prices. There’s a lot of flavor at this holiday kitchen that we recommend enjoying it on your day in EPCOT. Full Spread, 2023 That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
