he most wonderful (and flavorful) time of the year is nearly here! The Disneyland Resort is kicking off its holiday festivities next week from Nov. 10, 2023, through Jan. 7, 2024, and, you guessed it, there’s a sleigh-worth of goodies on the way. As lights and decorations turn Disneyland Resort into a winter wonderland, the culinary teams have been hard at work in the toyshop – I mean kitchen – putting together plenty of bites and sips to put you in the holiday spirit.
This year, the resort is filled to the brim with delicious delights that will light up your taste buds just like a Christmas tree. With soon-to-be new favorites like the Chocolate Mint Shortcake at Plaza Inn and returning classics like the Snowman Sourdough Bread from Aunt Cass Cafe, and, of course, Mickey Gingerbread, everyone will feel like they’re on the nice list with these tasty treats.
But that’s not all. There’s so much holiday excitement going on. See the holidays take over with dazzling lights from “it’s a small world” Holiday and Wintertime Enchantment at Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle, as well as mesmerizing entertainment with A Christmas Fantasy Parade, “Believe … In Holiday Magic” Fireworks, and World of Color – Season of Light. And be sure to check out Disney ¡Viva Navidad!, a festive celebration held in Disney California Adventure park. This authentic fiesta showcases holiday traditions from Mexican and Brazilian cultures with lively entertainment, like Disney ¡Viva Navidad! – A Festive Street Party, special character greets, and more that you won’t want to miss!
