We’ve been wearing our stretchiest pants ’cause we’ve been snacking and sipping on some of the BEST holiday treats in Disney World!
Toy Story Land Holiday Decor
We tasted 58 (!!!) different holiday offerings throughout Disney World for you guys. Buuuut, in no particular order, all we want for Christmas are these ten eats and treats!
Put down the candy canes! I repeat, put down the candy canes!! All your sweet peppermint dreams can be fulfilled with one bite of the Double-Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwich at Dino-Bite Snacks in Animal Kingdom.Vanilla ice cream with peppermint candy bits sits between two double chocolate cookies, one of which is dipped in red-swirled white chocolate.
Double-Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwich
This is actually a masterpiece. The cookies are soft compared to the crunch of the peppermint candy. While there was peppermint flavor is prominent, it’s balanced by rich chocolate and smooth vanilla. This is one of the best treats we’ve EVER had during the holidays, and we definitely think you should go try it (like right now).
Double-Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwich
You can find gingerbread all around Disney World, but Storybook Treats in Magic Kingdom is the only place serving up the Gingerbread Sundae! The ice cream beauty features gingerbread soft serve topped with gingerbread pieces, whipped cream, and a Minnie Mouse waffle topper.
While the Kakamora in Moana are violent thieves and pirates, the only “theft” with this float is how quickly it’s stolen our hearts! Aloha Isle, home of the delicious Dole Whip, is serving up the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party exclusive coconut soft-serve with pineapple juice, blue curaçao syrup, and a chocolate Kakamora cake pop for guests to try during the event.
Kakamora Float
Although we love ourselves a good Dole Whip, we’d choose the Kakamora Float every day instead! While the flavor of the coconut soft-serve is creamy, the tartness from the pineapple juice and citrus flavors from the blue curaçao really come through. And, you get a little chocolate cake pop on top of everything to make the Kakamora Float MORE refreshing!!

Another Mickey’s Very Merry exclusive is flying into Sunshine Terrace in the shape of the (super cute) Orange Bird Christmas! The citrus almond cream cake is surrounded by orange-scented white chocolate mousse, an orange curd filling, a candied “orange peel,” buttercream leaves, and a white chocolate Orange Bird piece.
An Orange Bird Christmas
This treat is citrus-y, light, and DELICIOUS! The balance of the simple white chocolate mousse and almond cream cake with the orange curd and candied orange peel makes our tastebuds sing like Orange Bird himself!! We only can hope they’ll bring this treat back after the holidays. Y’know, just without the Santa hat!

Did someone say bubble waffle?? AristoCrepes in Disney Springs is the home of the airy and crunchy bubble waffle and now it has created the Peppermint Bubble Waffle for Christmas! The classic bubble waffle is topped with lots of mint chocolate chip ice cream, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and peppermint bark.

What we love most about this dessert is the fact that there is an equal amount of softness and crunch! The peppermint flavor from the mint ice cream and peppermint bark go beautifully together, and the bubble waffle adds a tasty finish to each bite. This treat is big enough to share, so you don’t have to worry about being a lil too stuffed while you hit up the Christmas Tree Trail in Disney Springs!

While lunch box tarts aren’t really anything new at Woody’s Lunch Box, the Cinnamon-Apple Lunch Box Tart is a holiday treat you don’t want to miss out on!
Cinnamon-Apple Lunch Box Tart
The flaky crust is so buttery that it basically melts in your mouth. And, that cinnamon-apple filling?? It’s the PERFECT combination of sweet and spice (and everything nice!). If you’re wanting to try something different from all the gingerbread and peppermint, head over to Toy Story Land for this bb!

So, while we’ve been awe-struck by all the Christmas decorations in the parks right now, you can actually EAT one of them too! Jk, jk, but the Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone sure looks like something right off one of our Christmas trees at Backlot Express in Hollywood Studios.
Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone
The “pinecone” is made with chocolate mousse and sits a praline “leaf.” The chocolate mousse is rich, soft, and incredible. We could eat a whole jar of this alone by the fireplace with a spoon (sounds like a great evening to us!). The praline is crunchy and nutty, which adds a lovely twist to the flavor of the treat. And, there’s even a lil surprise of chocolate cake in the praline (yaaaas!).

“My, what a guy, that Gaston!” And,
Gaston’s Tavern is housing the tastiest
beer-cheese dip with
smoked bacon bits and
breadstick antlers. But, while he uses antlers in all of his decorating, this snack is a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party exclusive.
Gaston’s Cheese Dipper
Seriously, we could go on and on about our
favorite cheesy snacks in the parks, and
Gaston’s Cheese Dipper has definitely made the list. It’s so good that we would eat it every day if we could!! Plus, it’s super shareable, so you can gather the townsfolk (or just your family and friends) to snack on it. Just don’t eat four dozen eggs immediately afterward. (;

Another non-dessert holiday item on this list? Wait, what?? Yeah, the Holiday Turkey Burger is so good at D-Luxe Burger that it had to make its way onto our top ten! The turkey patty is topped with fried butternut squash risotto, mozzarella pearls, bacon-cranberry jam, lettuce, tomato, and served on a parker house roll.
Holiday Turkey Burger
Okay, we were sold the second we realized the fried squash had cheese INSIDE of it! (Ugh, how can D-Luxe be so good at everything?!) The bacon-cranberry jam has a hint of tartness compared to the juicy turkey burger patty. We really might eat this for our Christmas dinner, you guys!

This yuletide treat is brand-spankin’ new to Disney World’s holiday snack scene, but it definitely made quite an impression on us! We’re calling it a Giant Cake Pop because it’s round and cakey, but it takes the cake for being the LARGEST cake pop we’ve ever seen!
Giant Cake Pop
We found the Giant Cake Pop at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa’s Gingerbread House snack shop this morning during its ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning. This tasty treat consists of a tennis ball-sized serving of rich, moist chocolate cake (we’re NOT exaggerating — that’s how BIG this thing is!) It’s so delightfully fudgy and delicious, that we’ll be dreaming about it for a long time, and heading back to the Grand Floridan before the end of the holiday season to grab it again!

After looking at all those treats, we might have to do a dessert crawl in Disney World! ‘Tis the holiday season, you know. (;
