food IS a theme park
You know that wonderful smell of a turkey being cooked in the oven for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner?
Christmas Tree Trail
It’s one of the best smells around for the holidays!! We still have to wait a bit longer until we can feast on some Thanksgiving dinner at places like Raglan Road and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill. Buuut, you get your turkey on NOW with the latest snack in Disney World!
Hot chocolate, eggnog, apple cider — we all have our favorite Christmastime drink!
California Adventure Christmas Tree
But, have you ever had horchata?! Filled with flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, the milk and rice-based beverage is a delicious treat that’s irresistible! And, the holidays in Disney California Adventure are off to a great start with a dessert inspired by the seasonal drink!
Disneyland is serving up ALL kinds of eats and treats for Christmastime!
A Christmas Fantasy Parade
There’s seafood, grilled cheese, French dip, Chicken Mole, and MORE (whew!!) ringing in the holiday season in the parks. Buuuut, we’re leaving meat behind and grabbing something a lil bit different than the norm in Adventureland!
Even though it’s Christmastime in Disneyland, we haven’t exactly hit Thanksgiving just yet!
Christmas in Disneyland
While there’s a bunch of themed Christmas treats around the park, you can Fall into a celebration of the good food and cool weather of BOTH holidays with the new holiday menu items in the park!
Christmastime has flurried into the Disneyland Resort, and the Festival of Holidays has come along with it!
Festival of Holidays Banner
While we’ve tried SO MANY drinks, like the Warm Bourbon Cider, Navidad Punch, Cranberry Sangria, and Horchata Aqua Fresca to name a few, we’re ready to sip and stroll through Disney California Adventure for another holiday treat!
We’ve seen eats and treats, holiday decorations, and the Festival of Holidays around Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for Christmastime (yaaas!).
Cars Land Holiday Decor!
For a limited time, you can take a late-night car ride through Radiator Springs if you’re an Annual Passholder!
Christmastime is EVERYWHERE in Disney World!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is in Magic Kingdom, the Merry Menagerie puppets are snuggling up with guests in Animal Kingdom, and ALL the treats are being baked up in Hollywood Studios! With all the stuff to do in the parks, it’s important to stay hydrated! That’s why the NEW holiday merch item at the Disney resorts is a great park-hopping tool (let’s win Disney World!!).
It’s the happiest season of all, and that means we’re celebrating with all the Christmas goodies in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure!
2017 Grand Californian Gingerbread House
And, even though there are plenty eats and treats popping up in both parks (lookin’ at you, Festival of Holidays!), you can still get into the holiday spirit without even leaving your Disney resort! (Hot chocolate by the fireplace? Yes, please!!)
Lift your voices loud and clear and join in on the Christmas cheer in Disney California Adventure!
Christmas at California Adventure
While we’ve seen lots of festive treats, like the Pecan Pie Churro, Peppermint Soft-Serve, and Cranberry-Orange Lemonade already, now we’re sipping on a classic drink in the park!
As a kid, we all remember that childhood tradition where you’d leave out cookies and milk for Santa. And, the next morning, they’d mysteriously be gone! 😉
California Adventure Christmas Tree
Buuut, now that we’re all grown up, we’re the ones eating all the Christmas treats in Disneyland! While we’ve spotted the Man-Eating Christmas Wreath Rice Krispie and seasonal Cranberry-Orange Slush for the holidays, now we’re heading over to Disney California Adventure to try a churro that will have you grabbing for a glass of milk!
