Holiday Food and Beverage Offerings at Walt Disney World 2026

Availability windows and location considerations

Walt Disney World has announced holiday food and beverage offerings for the 2026 season, with availability dates varying significantly by location. Magic Kingdom items generally run from November 1 or November 8 through January 2, while Hollywood Studios offerings span November 7 through January 5. Animal Kingdom has varied windows, with most locations from November 6 through January 3, though the new Santa’s Holiday Grove operates from November 13 through January 3. Disney Springs locations follow their own calendars, with some items available starting November 10 and others limited to specific months.

Guests planning visits should note these date ranges vary by venue. The Santa Surf Shack Float at Aloha Isle, for instance, ends December 25 rather than continuing into January. The eet by Maneet Chauhan offerings run only during December through December 31. Mobile ordering is confirmed for select locations including Columbia Harbour House, Rosie’s All-American Cafe, ABC Commissary, Backlot Express, Woody’s Lunch Box, Milk Stand, and Flame Tree Barbecue, though the announcement does not systematically detail whether all holiday items will be accessible through these systems.

New venue and expanded dessert offerings

Santa’s Holiday Grove represents the most substantial addition to the 2026 lineup. This new location near Theater in the Wild at Animal Kingdom offers the broadest single-location menu, with items including the Peppermint-Chocolate Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich, Pistachio Cookie with Sicilian pistachios and candied orange, and Pan de Jamon, a savory bread roll with smoked ham and olives. The venue also serves beverages including a Cookie Butter Milkshake and Chilled Mulled Wine made with Cabernet Sauvignon.

Animal Kingdom features multiple dessert options across several locations. Terra Treats debuts a Festive Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich and Reindeer Sundae with dulce de leche ice cream and espresso caramel. Gingerbread-themed items appear at multiple parks: a Gingerbread Cake at Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom with cream cheese frosting and dulce de leche panna cotta, a Gingerbread Milkshake at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor with gingerbread syrup and gingersnap crumbs, and a Gingerbread Cheesecake Pop at Flame Tree Barbecue with gingerbread cheesecake mousse.

Savory options and full-service additions

While desserts dominate the announcement, several savory items appear on the roster. The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom introduces a Classic Reuben Sandwich with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing, and Santa’s Floridian Pulled Pork Sandwich with roasted pineapple chutney and sweet-and-spicy barbecue sauce. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ at Disney Springs offers the most extensive savory lineup, available November 29 through January 3, including HFK Scotch Eggs with deviled egg filling and pimento cheese, Tomato Bisque with grilled cheese, Brussels Sprout Salad with bacon and cranberries, and Seasonal Ham Steak with pineapple chutney.

The eet by Maneet Chauhan menu, limited to December, includes The Jolly One’s Nachos with tandoori pulled pork and cheddar. Earl of Sandwich offers a Holiday Turkey Sandwich available through January 8 with roasted turkey, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce, and gravy.

Alcoholic beverage selections across price points

Cocktails range from relatively simple preparations to complex multi-spirit drinks. The Merry Berry Cosmopolitan at Plaza Restaurant combines vanilla vodka, Cointreau, and cranberry juice. More elaborate options include the Smoke and Sugar at Enzo’s Hideaway and Maria and Enzo’s, which features marshmallow bourbon with a homemade marshmallow roasted tableside, and the Toasty Tidings at the same location with smoked maple bourbon, RumChata, allspice dram, and ginger liqueur.

Wine-based drinks include the Fig Spritz at Enzo’s Hideaway with Prosecco, the Mistletoe Spritz at Homecomin’ with gin and Prosecco, and the Cranberry Gin Fizz at Homecomin’ with raspberries and strawberries topped with Cheerwine soda. The Chilled Mulled Wine at Santa’s Holiday Grove features Cabernet Sauvignon. The announcement does not include pricing for any items.
