The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays 2021, November 26 to December 30, perfectly timed with Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. The highlight for many visitors was the Holiday Cookie Stroll, a tasty and interactive experience that combined cultural exploration with delicious treats.
Cookie Stroll Highlights with Chef Kevin
During a special media preview, I met Chef Kevin, who gave us an exclusive look at the year’s most anticipated cookies. Each cookie represented holiday traditions from various cultures, making the Cookie Stroll an outstanding way to journey around World Showcase.
The Must-Try Cookies
Participants for 2021 enjoyed sampling five unique cookies from different kitchens:
- Linzer Cookie from Bavaria Holiday Kitchen
- Black and White Cookie from L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen
- Gingerbread Cookie at Holiday Hearth Desserts
- SNICKERS-Doodle Cookie from Yukon Holiday Kitchen
- Chocolate Crinkle Cookie at American Holiday Table
After collecting stamps for each cookie in the Festival Passport, guests received a complimentary specialty cookie—the perfect sweet ending.
Celebrating 50 Years of Disney Magic
The 50th Anniversary brought added magic to the festival. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure had just opened in the France Pavilion, while Harmonious, the dazzling nighttime show, captivated guests at World Showcase Lagoon. These additions and the Cookie Stroll made the festival a memorable celebration of Disney’s rich history.
