Holiday season at Disneyland

If you find yourself at Disneyland in Anaheim during the holiday season, you are certainly in for a good time. With some great treats available and festive park changes everywhere you look, joy and good food can be found around every corner. Speaking of good food, we recently found some NEW SEASONAL ITEMS on Main Street, U.S.A. that we HAVE to tell you about!

Over at Refreshment Corner on Main Street, U.S.A., you can usually find quick-service American cuisine like hot dogs and mac & cheese. However, right now, Refreshment Corner is offering TWO limited-time seasonal items — the Cinnamon Roll Pretzel and the Chile Verde Firefly Chips. But were they any good? Read ahead to find out!

Seasonal offerings at Refreshment Corner

Let’s start with the Chile Verde Firefly Chips! Made up of spicy corn chips and topped with chile verde pork, cheese, and pickled chiles, this snack promises a bit of a kick.

Chile Verde Firefly Chips

The snack comes in a small brown bag, which immediately complicates things. The chips — which taste and look exactly like Flamin’ Hot Fritos — are all at the bottom of the bag, so you’ll need a fork to mix it all up, and you’ll have to do so delicately to avoid spillage.

The pork has a lot of good flavor

As for how the snack tastes, overall, it’s pretty good! There’s a lot of flavor happening, and most of it works. The majority of the spice is at the bottom of the bag with the chips, but if you mix it up, you should be able to spread out the spices. The spice itself is moderate. People who LOVE spicy food may feel it’s not enough, while people who regularly avoid spicy food will probably think it’s way too hot.

The pork is the real standout of this snack. The chile verde seasoning is very tasty and lingers after each bite, prompting you to take another. The cheese blend also adds a welcomed layer that not only adds good flavor but also helps to curb the heat. We do recommend you eat this fast, though, as all the components make for a soggy snack.

People who like Fritos (both Flamin’ Hot and regular), pork, chile verde, and spicy foods should give this snack a try. We liked it, but you may absolutely love it. Those who avoid anything spicy like it’s the plague, are looking for more bang for your buck, a more sophisticated snack, something easier to eat, or don’t like pork should probably pass on this one. The Chile Verde Firefly Chips can currently be found at the Refreshment Corner for $7.49 for a limited time.

The next seasonal item we tried was the Cinnamon Roll Pretel. This cream cheese pretzel is topped with cinnamon roll filling and drizzled with cream cheese frosting. Out of the two treats, this was definitely our favorite.

Cinnamon Roll Pretzel

There was nothing we disliked about this pretzel — it was FLAWLESS! This snack was akin to a cream cheese pretzel amped up to 11. First and foremost, it is a really good cream cheese pretzel. Ours was thick — not because it was stale but because it was hardy and filling. The pretzel goes beyond a light afternoon snack and is definitely underpriced for how full we were after eating it.

The pretzel is DEFINITELY filling

Although the pretzel doesn’t ooze cream cheese, the cream cheese frosting definitely makes up for that. The cinnamon topping is applied liberally and (with the frosting) really creates a lovely blend of sweet and savory that makes this a perfect treat any time of day. The best way to sum up this snack is to compare it to one of the best churros you’ve ever had dipped in cream cheese frosting. It is absolutely delicious and a must-try the next time you’re at Disneyland!

The Cinnamon Roll Pretzel gets two thumbs up from us!

The Cinnamon Roll Pretzel is available at Refreshment Corner for $7.59 for a limited time.
