Foodie Guide to EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays


The holiday season is upon us! The only thing missing from the holidays at Walt Disney World Resort is the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Presented by AdventHealth but fear not because it soon will be giving us our seasonal fix. From Nov. 25 through Dec. 30, guests can enjoy holidays around the world with this classic festival.


With over 15 Holiday Kitchens, guests will find flavors from across the globe highlighting ways the world celebrates the season. This year, guests can discover a new Holiday Kitchen, Nochebuena Cocina with an IMPOSSIBLE Chorizo Tamale, as well as indulge in returning favorites, like Potato Latkes from L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen or Cheese Fondue in a Bread Bowl from Bavaria Holiday Kitchen. Their tastebuds will be gifted with each bite!


If guests are looking to indulge in their sweet tooth, they simply must do the Holiday Cookie Stroll, a food stroll featuring decadent and delightful cookies from the Holiday Kitchens. As guests treat their elf they can collect stamps in their Festival Passport by purchasing five of these items to redeem a special treat from Holiday Sweets & Treats.


In addition to the food, a staple of the festival is the entertainment. As you travel throughout the World Showcase, be sure to take the time to listen to the holiday storytellers sharing each country’s holiday traditions. Listen to the joy of Christmas and Kwanza with the lively JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season or grab the whole family for some holiday searching with Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition Scavenger Hunt. As the sun goes down, you can’t miss Candlelight Processional – a moving retelling of the story of Christmas featuring a celebrity narrator and stirring songs performed by an orchestra and choir.
