Holiday Duets is back at the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays again this year, and if you’re a fan of mac and cheese, this is the booth you NEED to visit!

The 2025 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays has officially started at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through January 7th, 2026, you can devour some tasty eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Come along with us as we check out the Holiday Duets booth for 2025.

Menu

Mac and cheese is on the menu at Holiday Duets again this year! The Savory Kugel Mac & Cheese is back for 2025 and is joined by the new Al Pastor Mac & Cheese. If you can’t decide which to choose, you can get The Holiday Duet, featuring half portions of both mac and cheese dishes.

If you’re a beer drinker, this is where you’ll find a collection of four new beers — all available in a Holiday Hops Flight for $20.50.

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

Returning for 2025 is the Savory Kugel Mac & Cheese made with herb breadcrumbs, sour cream, and chives and priced at $8.50. Last year, we enjoyed this dish and found it to be super creamy but light on the sour cream taste.

Once again, the dish was very creamy. The sour cream was a standout flavor, and the bread crumbs added a nice crunch to the dish — the blending of the soft and crunchy textures was so satisfying. Overall, a nice dish, but if we had to choose one, we would take the next one we had!

New this year is the Al Pastor Mac & Cheese with tortilla crumble and cilantro for $9.00.

We’re calling this a best of the fest item! The dish had a lot of flavor, as well as a bit of a kick, but it wasn’t too spicy — more flavor than heat. There was quite a bit of meat, and they were in generous chunks. The dish also had great texture. The Mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful. The one thing we didn’t notice at all was the cilantro.

Drinks

It’s all about beer at the Holiday Duets booth!

This year you’ll find:

• Trumer Brewery Doppelgänger Northern Lager (New) — $17.00
• Trademark Brewing Perfect Gentleman West Coast IPA (New) — $18.50
• Great Notion Brewing Northleft Hazy IPA (New) — $18.50
• Kern River Brewing Co. Winter IPA (New) — $18.50

And if you can’t decide which beer you want, there is a Holiday Hops Flight for $20.50 with smaller pours of each beer.

The Trumer Brewery Doppelgänger Northern Lager was a fruity lager with a little bit of a bitter aftertaste.

The Trademark Brewing Perfect Gentleman West Coast IPA was our favorite of the four beers. It had hints of grapefruit and pineapple. This beer was also more on the bitter side.

The Great Notion Brewing Northleft Hazy IPA had a hazy, thicker texture. We were picking up citrus notes. It looked different than the other three.

Lastly, but not least, is the Kern River Brewing Co. Winter IPA This one was our least favorite among the four. It had citrus and floral notes, with an earthy taste.

OVERALL

Overall, we’ll definitely be going back to this booth! It has one of our favorite items at the festival, and you can never go wrong with some good mac n cheese. Make sure you stop by this booth when you’re at the festival.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
