Disney Festival of Holidays returns to Disney California Adventure from November 13, 2026, through January 6, 2027. The seasonal celebration brings six Festive Foods Marketplaces, Disney ¡Viva Navidad! in Paradise Gardens Park, holiday menu items at restaurants across the park, and live cultural performances. Disney published its foodie guide for the festival on November 3, 2026, and every food and drink from that guide is in our interactive guide below.

When Is Disney Festival of Holidays 2026?

The festival runs November 13, 2026, through January 6, 2027, the same dates as Holidays at the Disneyland Resort. Most festival menu items are available for the full run. A few restaurant items have their own windows: the Holiday Mickey Ice Cream Bar at Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream is available November 12 through January 21, and the Cookie Butter Trifle at Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta runs November 13 through January 21.

A theme park reservation and valid admission for Disney California Adventure on the same date are required to visit.

Where to Find the Festive Foods Marketplaces

All six Festive Foods Marketplaces are set up along the Performance Corridor in Disney California Adventure. Each one has its own menu of food, cocktails and beer:

  • Holiday Duets: KRAFT Deluxe mac & cheese in Holiday Brisket and French Onion versions, or a duet of both
  • A Twist on Tradition: comfort food with a twist, including Shrimp & Grits and TWIX Bits Iced Chocolate
  • Brews & Bites: Chorizo Queso Fundido, a Hot Cocoa Macaron and Cafe de Olla Cold Brew
  • Grandma’s Recipes: home-style dishes like the Turkey Tamale and Sweet Potato Pecan Pie
  • Favorite Things: Braised Pork Belly Adobo with garlic rice
  • Merry Mashups: the Reimagined Beef Wellington and Cookie Butter & Jelly Cheesecake Tart

Disney lists Festive Foods Marketplace pricing in its snack tier of $14.99 and under per adult.

What’s New on the Menu This Year

Disney’s foodie guide lists 44 food and drink items for the festival, and 24 of them are new for 2026. Disney highlighted three new items in particular: the Reimagined Beef Wellington, Chicken Pot Pie Wings and TWIX Bits Iced Chocolate. Returning favorites include the Cafe de Olla Cold Brew, Chilaquiles Carnitas Torta and Braised Pork Belly Adobo.

The festival also reaches beyond the marketplaces. Restaurants and carts from Buena Vista Street to Grizzly Peak add holiday items, including Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream, Studio Catering Co., Terran Treats, Aunt Cass Café, Lucky Fortune Cookery, Rita’s Turbine Blenders, Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill, the Cappuccino Cart, Flo’s V-8 Cafe, Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta, Smokejumpers Grill and select outdoor vending locations. Many of those locations offer mobile order.

Disney says more Disney California Adventure holiday offerings will be in its upcoming Foodie Guide to Holidays at the Disneyland Resort 2026.
