REVIEW: You'll REGRET Forgetting About This New EPCOT Festival Treat!

The 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is celebrating the holiday season with 18 Holiday Kitchens this year, along with some additional locations serving up some popular Festival eats!

Welcome to the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays!

The 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially begun, and there is something for everyone. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you. We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. Let’s take a look at the bonus spots and see if you need to stop and check out the eats!

Additional Locations

Canada Popcorn Cart

Over at the Canada Popcorn Cart you’ll find a Canadian Hot Toddy made with maple syrup, honey, black tea, lemon juice, cinnamon, and Tap 357 Canadian Maple Rye Whisky, served warm. This is a returning item at the Festival of the Holidays! This drink is priced at $10 — and honestly, it was PERFECT for the day we were having. What do we mean by that? Well, we were feeling a little sinusy, and this drink helped clear us up.

Canadian Hot Toddy

You can’t go wrong with a Hot Toddy when you’re not feeling well, and this is just a classic version of that drink. It also has a lot of familiarity, so we expect a lot of folks will be ordering this. However, we don’t think the small size is worth $10, so unless you really need a Hot Toddy, you might want to skip it.

Sunshine Seasons

This EPCOT spot is back with a Cookie Stroll item again for 2024! Here, you can pick up your Peanut Butter Cookie made with Red & Green M&M’s Milk Chocolate Minis to round out your Cookie Stroll for $4.29. So, this is a good cookie. It’s also HUGE, so you can take a few bites, box it up, and take it back to your hotel room for later. Flavor-wise, it’s so buttery with lots of peanut butter flavor (but not TOO much).

Peanut Butter Cookie made with Red & Green M&M’S Milk Chocolate Minis

Is it our favorite peanut butter cookie of all time? Probably not, but it’s delicious all the same.

UK Beer Cart

The UK Beer Cart is joining in the Festival of Holidays fun this year with a Frozen Chocolate Orange Cocktail made with hot chocolate, orange syrup, and blood orange liqueur. This drink is priced at $16.50. Okay, so a Cast Member told us that this drink was going for those classic Terry’s chocolate orange flavors, and it delivered. We’re not sure they work as a drink; this drink was a miss for us.

Frozen Chocolate Orange Cocktail

You don’t get a lot of the chocolate flavor unless you stir it up, but then the chocolate tastes very artificial, plus there’s a strong artificial orange flavor. So the flavor profile is SPOT ON, but we just don’t like it in drinkable form. We also think it’s overpriced for what you get.

While it’s true there is NO shortage of great eats at the ‘regular’ booths at this year’s Festival of the Holidays, don’t skip out on these additional locations! If we had to choose, though, we’d say head straight to Sunshine Seasons for the cookie and grab the Hot Toddy if you’re feeling a little cold or under the weather.
