Holiday treats are starting to pop up all over Disney World, and we’re loving it!
Not only did we try tons of new treats at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights, but there are also plenty of treats around Disney World that you don’t need an after-hours ticket to try. Especially over in Disney Springs, which is where we just found some of our FAVORITE holiday ice cream we’ve had so far this year!
We headed over to Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs to grab one of their new holiday treats, the Peppermint-Chocolate Swirl Cone! This is Peppermint and Chocolate Soft-serve Swirl inside a Red Velvet Cone garnished with Peppermint Bark and Holiday Sprinkles.
The first thing we noticed about this cone was that it melted FAST. We grabbed our photos as fast as we could, and it wasn’t very hot outside that day, but the moment we grabbed it, it began melting down our hands and arms, so be sure you grab napkins and be ready to eat it fast!
Our reporter absolutely loved this peppermint soft serve and adored its flavor, however she noted that it really overpowered the chocolate. It did very little to balance out the flavors between the two, but she still enjoyed it because she’s a big fan of peppermint ice cream, and even said it’s the best soft serve she’s had this holiday season.
One of the other standouts here were the sprinkles! They were the perfect size and our reporter even found herself wishing they were somehow all throughout the ice cream instead of just on top. The cone was also great, even though we didn’t get much of a red velvet flavor. The white chocolate coating on the inside was delicious and really helped it hold up against the massive amount of soft-serve that was piled on top of it! The peppermint bark on top was also fantastic!
At the end of the day, you REALLY have to love peppermint to enjoy this treat, but if that’s your thing, then this is right up your alley!
