We’re the ones who told you where to find the latest haberdashery and snack craze that has taken Disney World by storm. Yes, friends, we’re talking about the Cotton Candy Santa Hat in Epcot!
BUT WAIT! Now it appears one of our DFB buddies has spotted a variation of this MUST-GET holiday snack of the season! See what we mean BELOW!
Why, it seems the Cotton Candy Santa Hat has turned GREEN! It appears the demand for the original Cotton Candy Santa Hat has created a shortage of red sugar, so the cotton candy artist at House of Good Fortune has come up with a creative solution! MAKE IT GREEN INSTEAD!
It kinda looks more like a Cotton Candy Elf Hat to us now, but, oh wells. It’s still SUPER adorbs! Of course, if your tastebuds are INSISTING on a red Santa hat instead, luckily there’s plenty of Santa-hat-snack-opportunities right now in Disney World! And we’re sure the China Pavilion will refill the red sugar stocks quickly, so stay tuned!
Thanks @peggsdodisney for keeping us all in-the-know about this unexpected turn of events! Stay tuned to DFB for any and all things Cotton Candy Santa Hat-related! And if you’d like to know when you can get your Cotton Candy Santa Hat in Epcot’s China pavilion, check out the time schedule here!
