Foodie Guide to Disney Festival of Holidays 2023 at Disneyland Resort

November 1, 2023

Get ready to celebrate all the diverse cultural festivities of the holiday season because Disney Festival of Holidays is nearly here! From Nov. 10, 2023, through Jan. 7, 2024, Disneyland Resort will be serving up delicious dishes and sips inspired by various traditions and holidays, like Christmas, Navidad, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, and Three Kings Day, at both Disney California Adventure Park and Downtown Disney District.

There are quite a few new eats and sips being delivered by the talented culinary teams this holiday season, like the Barbacoa Tamal de Res from Grandma’s Recipes and the Mad Santa Macaron Inspired by the Disney+ series “The Santa Clauses” from Favorite Things. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of returning favorites ready to gift some flavor to unwrap, like the Pumpkin Layered Cheesecake at Making Spirits Bright and the Guava-Melon Lassi from A Twist on Tradition.

And the festivities don’t stop with just the food. There’s plenty of entertainment to get you into the spirit of the season with offerings like “Mickey’s Happy Holidays,”the lively Holiday Toy Drummers, musical and dance performances at various locations throughout the park, and, of course, character sightings guests won’t want to miss.

To add another element to the Disney Festival of Holidays experience, consider getting the Sip and Savor Pass. This pass offers eight entitlement tabs that can be redeemed for select bites and nonalcoholic beverages from several of the marketplaces and participating dining locations in Disney California Adventure pPark. It can be used throughout the entirety of the festival, so guests can keep coming back as many times as they'd like throughout the season.

Now let's take a look at this year’s Foodie Guide to Disney Festival of Holidays at Disneyland Resort!
