The most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner, and that means a new EPCOT festival is coming soon! Get ready to celebrate the season with EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays, featuring some BRAND NEW menus full of festive bites and cheery drinks!

EPCOT Festival of the Holidays

The 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays runs from November 26th through December 30th. During the festival, guests can enjoy foods from a variety of holiday kitchens in the World Showcase, sample cookies on the Holiday Cookie Stroll, and enjoy special holiday entertainment. We’re so excited to see everything that the festival has to offer this year, but we’re MOST excited about the food and drinks! So, let’s take a look at all of the Holiday Kitchen menus for 2021.

NEW Booths and Menu Items

Chestnuts & Good Cheer Holiday Kitchen — NEW!

Chestnuts & Good Cheer will be over near the entrance to World Showcase. The booth will sell items like cinnamon-glazed almonds, cashews, and pecans, as well as fire roasted chestnuts. Something else exciting about the food offerings here is that they’re all gluten friendly!
