We had previously shared all the booth and menu items to be featured at this year’s festival, but now we’ve got a first look at some of the new food!
In addition to some returning favorites (like the slow-roasted turkey at the American Holiday Table), Disney has shared some new items!

Thanks to Disney Parks Blog we now have the official foodie guide and a first peek at some brand new dishes! We’re so happy to see the return of the family-friendly Holiday Cookie Stroll. The Bavaria Holiday Kitchen in Germany is featuring a new Linzer cookie this year that will be a part of the stroll. The Feast of The Three Kings Kitchen will also be featuring a new cookie, the totally yummy looking chocolate crinkle cookie.

Just like last year, you’ll find a Cookie Stroll page in your Festival of the Holidays Passport (these are free!). This page will list the booth locations of holiday cookies around the Festival. If you’re up for a sweet challenge, you can purchase five cookies throughout the Festival and collect a stamp at each food booth where the cookie is found.

Refreshment Port near the Canada Pavilion will be featuring yet another twist on classic Poutine. The Turkey Poutine returns but this year the base is no longer sweet potato fries — classic fries take their place. Replacing the eggnog shake will be T.G. Lee Eggnog, available non-alcoholic or with spiced rum.

The Shanghai Holiday Kitchen in China will be offering up a new Chengdu Spicy Street Fries. This looks like the perfect dish to soak up all that eggnog you’re sipping OR the 3 new holiday cocktails this booth will be serving up (they tend to be pretty heavy-handed at this booth — in a good way!).

The Firework features Jose Cuervo Tequila Gold, Vodka, Mango Syrup, Orange Juice and Soda Water. For something with a more dessert twist, the cleverly named Marco Boba features Amaretto, Iced Coffee, Milk and Boba.

To curb that sweet tooth the Horchata Cheesecake will feature a Creamy Rice-based Cheesecake and is served with Cajeta Sauce. Last year’s La Posado Margarita got an upgrade and is now the Horchata Margarita. Be careful with this one! The cocktail features Tequila, Horchata Rum, Cinnamon Whisky, and Agua de Horchata served on the rocks.
