We’ve been waiting all year to celebrate the holiday season at the Disneyland Resort, and one popular festival is launching the festivities with a bang!
The holiday season officially starts on November 14th, and the Disneyland Resort is getting the party started extra early withDisney California Adventure’s Festival of Holidays! Running from November 14th through January 7th, 2026, this event is a hotspot for great entertainment, festive eats, and fantastic sips — and it’s already up and running!
The 2025 Festival features six Festive Marketplace Booths, as well as numerous event-exclusive offerings at additional locations throughout the theme park. You can even grab a festival guide already!
This will help you find your way around the festival. Even if you know the park, this is super handy for finding the festival-exclusive experiences!
It gives you a look at the menus…
…and the entertainment. The Festival of Holidays is jam-packed with live music, street performances, fantastic entertainment, and amazing decorations that grace Disney California Adventure for a limited time! Entertainment doesn’t start until November 14th, but the food booths are open!
You know we immediately ran to a food booth! First up is Favorite Things — we’ll be back later with our full review!
We’re making our way around the festival, so stick with us here at the Disney Food Blog for all the latest Festival of Holidays reviews, updates, and tips. Full booth reviews will be coming to you soon!
