It’s almost time for the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, which runs from November 27th through December 30th, and honestly, we could not be MORE ready. This festival always brings a great time to EPCOT, including the Candlelight Processional with its celebrity narrators, loads of beautiful holiday decor, holiday storytellers at the pavilions, and even Santa!

EPCOT Festival of the Holidays

One of our FAVORITE things about the festival is — and this should come as no surprise — the FOOD. Well, Disney literally said “hold my beer” this year because when it announced the food booth menus, we counted 98 brand-new foods and drinks. WOW!

So let’s take a look at some of these new menu items, shall we? Here are the ones we’re MOST excited about, but you can see the full menus for the festival here. So the Holly Jolly Bánh Mì, which is a Vietnamese-style sandwich with smoked turkey, cranberry-Chambord liqueur mayonnaise, pickled vegetables, cucumbers, Fresno chilis, and cilantro, sounds AMAZING, and it will be found at a brand new booth, Season’s Eatings.

We also think the Milk Chocolate Minnie Bows and Mickey-shaped Nonpareils are adorable. You’ll find those at Holiday Hearth Desserts. We have a feeling these might be very popular this year.

We also plan on dropping by Sunshine Seasons to enjoy the Snickerdoodle Milkshake, which is topped with a spiced cookie and snickerdoodle Bundt cake. We’ve always been suckers for an over-the-top milkshake.

Speaking of sweet treats, the Norway Cart will have a Salted Chai Bolle, and we can’t WAIT to bite into it. It looks SO good, right? We’re big fans of the baked treats in Norway, as it is, so this special one just HAS to be good.

We’re also excited about the new item coming to Sommerfest. It’s a Christmas Market Bratwurst made with Beef and pork bratwurst with sauerbraten pot roast, red cabbage, and sweet mustard on a warm pretzel roll served with paprika-curry chips. Oh, YEAH. A loaded Brat? Yes, please!

We also always look forward to what the Funnel Cake Stand has in store for the festival. This year, we’re getting a Hot Cocoa Funnel Cake, which is a funnel cake with chocolate-chocolate chip ice cream topped with powdered sugar, marshmallow whipped cream, mini marshmallows, cocoa cinnamon sugar, and dark chocolate sauce. We think this one will go over really well with chocolate lovers.
