Disney4me Posted 37 minutes ago Report Posted 37 minutes ago Hanging up stockings, sipping cocoa, singing carols… who doesn’t love a holiday tradition or two? Well, one of the Festive Food Marketplaces at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays has a tradition all its own… 2026 Booth Welcome to A Twist on Tradition, the Festival Food Booth that has made an annual custom out of putting a spin on classic comfort dishes! The 2026 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays is now running at Disneyland Resort through January 6th, 2027. And if you’re wondering if you should make a tradition of stopping by this Food Booth, we hope you’ll join us for our full review of A Twist on Tradition! Menu A Twist on Tradition presents the new Chicken Pot Pie Wings to the Festival of Holidays this year! The wings are joined by Shrimp & Grits on the menu. A Twist on Tradition Booth Menu Both beverages are new to the Festival this year: the TWIX Bits Iced Chocolate and, for the beer drinkers, Stella Artois Pilsner. I don’t know about you, but I’m sure curious to find out what happens when Chicken Wings meet Pot Pie… so let’s dig in! Eats The new Chicken Pot Pie Wings are plated with a rich gravy and herb pie crumble, so you can take in the flavors of a classic home-cooked pot pie on your favorite game day snack! The batch of wings is $9.75. Chicken Pot Pie Wings These Chicken Pot Pie Wings are tender and smooth, not at all crispy. The gravy is rich and hearty, straight from a holiday table. The peas and carrots were rather soft and chewy, with a bland flavor. The herb crumble adds a much-needed crunch, but it wasn’t enough. It tastes impressively like a chicken pot pie, but we couldn’t get over how soft and mushy these were. Chicken Pot Pie Wings The Shrimp & Grits with andouille sausage is back this year. This dish moved from its original home at Holiday Duets and can now be purchased here at A Twist on Tradition for $9.50. Though it’s been a few years since it was available, the Shrimp & Grits has made our Best of the Fest list in the past. Shrimp & Grits These Shrimp & Grits were very spicy and flavorful, with pepper being the strongest flavor. The grits were very cheesy, which balanced out the spice. The shrimp and sausage were plentiful but had an off-putting, overcooked, rubbery texture that we couldn’t get behind. Shrimp & Grits Drinks Is it a drink or is it dessert? Believe it or not, the new TWIX Bits Iced Chocolate is made for sipping! For $9.50, this non-alcoholic beverage combines chocolate oat milk with caramel and cookie butter syrups, and tops it all with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and TWIX Bits. Whew! TWIX Bits Iced Chocolate Despite all of the chocolate, the cookie butter was the predominant flavor, adding warm cinnamon and nutmeg notes. The chocolate is still strong, though, so it tastes like a Mexican hot chocolate all together. Despite the TWIX bites on top, we couldn’t taste any caramel flavor in the drink itself, so it’s not a drink to get your chocolate-caramel fix from. TWIX Bits Iced Chocolate Now, if that doesn’t sound exactly like your cup of… well, umm, Iced Chocolate, then you should know that Stella Artois Pilsner is up for grabs for $15.25. OVERALL While the food options at Twist on a Tradition are fun spins on classic holiday dishes, they rarely beat the real thing. We recommend eating at other festival booths instead. However, if you’re craving an iced Mexican hot chocolate, the TWIX Bits Iced Chocolate somehow delivers that more than chocolate-caramel flavors, and everyone on our team enjoyed it.
