2025 Festival of Holiday Booths and Menus — Stay tuned for 2026 Reviews!
Brews & Bites
Just a heads up about the Brews & Bites Festive Foods Marketplace (or Food Booth, as the Marketplaces are better known)… There’s only one “Bite” on the menu: the returning Chorizo Queso Fundido!
You can pair it with one — or more — of several Brews. We’ll get into the specifics below, but you can order a full-size beer or try an assortment of all four options with the Festive Beer Flight. Cookies and Cream Hazelnut Hot Cocoa is a non-alcoholic option, and the Irish Hot Cocoa Cocktail is also up for grabs.

Favorite Things
Let’s see… how does that song go? Oh, yeah! “Brown paper packages tied up with string… These are a few of my Favorite Things!” Well, I guess a few Festival dishes really have become Favorite Things, because both the Braised Pork Belly Adobo and the seriously adorable Sticky Toffee Pudding Macaron have returned for this year!
For beverages, the returning Guava Melon Lassi is joined by the new Winter Citrus New York Sour.

Holiday Duets
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! 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.
