We’re getting ready to celebrate the holidays early, folks!! We might still be a few weeks away from the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays which will take place from November 27th through December 30th, but we’ve got all the snack news you NEED to know!

You might know that the Festival of the Holidays brings together different holiday cuisines from cultures around the world. You can try things that are new and exciting at the Holiday Kitchens (AKA Food Booths) while you stroll around the park.

And, since the Festival of the Holidays is back again in EPCOT, we’re happy to announce the MENUS for the 16 Holiday Kitchens and a few other places to get your sip and snack on!

Check out the FULL MENUS for the Holiday Kitchens coming to the Epcot Festival of the Holidays HERE!

We hope you’ve got your stretchy Santa pants on ’cause we’re taking you with us to look at all the food!

Returning Favorites

Of course, we love seeing some of our FAVE eats and drinks making their way back to the Festival of the Holidays this year as well!

We’re especially excited for some of our favorites we see on the menu at Bavaria Holiday Kitchen like the Pork Schnitzel with Mushroom Sauce, Spätzle, and Braised Red Cabbage…

…and the Cheese Fondue in a Bread Bowl with Steamed Baby Vegetables and Marble Potatoes. You KNOW how we feel about CHEESE.

Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen is giving us a pretty great Christmas present with that Giant Tostada de Chorizo we mentioned. Last year the Giant Tostada de Puerco made our Best of the Fest, so hopefully, this one is just as good as that old favorite!

And we love giving in to our sweet tooth so we’re PUMPED for the return of Sfenj: Warm Beignets with Cream, Cinnamon-Sugar, and Chocolate Sauce at Sapphire Holiday Kitchen! Yum!

We’re gearing up to have a sleigh full of snacks this year!! Will you be joining us when the Epcot Festival of the Holidays opens on November 27th??
