Disneyland Festival of Holidays foods for 2025 have been released and this menu has been updated. Disneyland Festival of Holidays is the central piece of the Disneyland holidays celebration in Disney California Adventure park. The celebration brings together entertainment and food offerings throughout Disney California Adventure park that celebrate Christmas/Navidad, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Three Kings Day.
The 2025 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays runs from November 14, 2025 through January 7, 2026. Festival of Holidays menu with all of the food items available, a look at the various entertainment offerings, and tips based on our visits. Disneyland has now announced the 2025 Disney Festival of Holidays foods!
The festival is a refreshing example of how the size of a Disney Park allows for the specific spotlight of multiple cultures without being reductive. The variety of offerings during the Festival of Holidays is a great foil to the more traditional Victorian-esque Disneyland Christmas celebration throughout the rest of the resort. The Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure begins at the same time as the rest of the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort.
Disneyland Festival of Holidays 2025 Food Items and Menu
One of the highlights of the festival is the Festival of Holidays marketplaces. Throughout Disney California Adventure there are eight different food booths with a variety of food and drink items for purchase. The booths (example seen in the photo above) are the same ones used for the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival. These booths are placed up and down the parade corridor between the Buena Vista Street entrance area of the theme park and Pixar Pier. The festival also extends to some participating food and beverage locations in the park.

Over the years of covering the festival we have gotten to know the head chef for the festival and manager over the entire area. They and their teams work tirelessly to try the mix of unique and fun flavors that make up these dishes. They’ll tell you it’s a plum gig to get to try all the different varieties that come to the festivals, but we know that it’s hard work to deliver flavors that will be popular with guests and push the boundaries.
To experience the festival, you can either purchase items individually or purchase a Sip and Savor pass which is $63 and gives you 8 coupons that you can redeem at booths throughout the festival. There is also a four coupon option for $32. I typically use one card to share with an entire group. The pass is a lanyard with digital coupons that can be redeemed when a Cast Member scans your pass and you enter a 4-digit code. For more on the pass including the Magic Key discount information, see our specific section below on the Disney California Adventure Sip and Savor pass here. You can see some of our favorite new food items announced here.

2025 Festival of Holidays Food Locations Map
We will post a new visual of the map for 2025 once we visit Disneyland for the start of the holiday season!
The Festival of Holidays food locations are located all across Disney California Adventure. Below, you can see a map of where each location is. If you’re going to a certain ride, or if you have several food items you are picking up, it’s helpful to know where each marketplace and participating location is so that you can grab food on the way to wherever you are heading.

Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays 2025 Sip and Savor pass
How much is the 2025 Festival of Holidays Sip and Savor pass?
Last year’s Festival of Holidays Sip and Savor Pass was $63 for regular park guests and discounted to $58 for Disneyland Magic Keyholders. That comes out to tabs costing you about $7.88 for regular guests and about $7.25 for Magic Key Holders. There was also a $32 option for a 4-coupon pass.
If you were to purchase items individually they typically cost about $5-6 per item for sweets and $8 for savory items. Thus, the Sip and Savor pass is really only worth it if you are planning on eating mainly savory items.
Where can you buy the Sip and Savor pass at Disney California Adventure?
Though you’ll see a large line to purchase the Sip and Savor pass at the specific booths labeled selling the Sip and Savor passes, you do not have to wait through the inevitable line that will have formed here. The Sip and Savor passes are sold at locations throughout Disney California Adventure.
Sip and Savor passes are sold at:
- Elias & Co.
- Festival Gifts
- Festive Food Marketplace
- Julius Katz & Sons
- Seaside Souvenirs
- Sip and Savor Cart
Key Disneyland Festival of Holidays Food Tips
- The Festival of Holidays booths each have their own lines to order food. What most don’t realize is that you can actually order all of the food items that you want from the festival from one of the booths rather than going to each individual booth to order. So, you should take a look at our above guide and mark down what items you are most interested in and then order them all at the same time from one booth. You’ll then be given a receipt with the items listed out. Don’t lose this receipt. You’ll use it redeem all of your food items from the various booths as you are ready to eat them. As you pickup items, the Cast Member at the pickup line will cross out the item. At the other Festival of Holidays booths you’ll proceed directly to the pickup lines and skip the growing ordering lines.
- Share food items with other members of your party. It’s worth looking at the offerings ahead of time to see what interests you and take into account if your party is composed of heavy or light eaters. During this trip, we had two lighter eaters, so we shared items through the Sip and Savor pass and got several meals out of it. If you are sharing with another member of your party and feel like you need more after redeeming all of your tabs, you can always make a la carte purchases.
- If you do decide to mix utilizing the Sip and Savor pass and a la carte purchases, make sure you use the Sip and Savor pass for higher-price items and save your a la carte purchases for less expensive items.
- Look at the Festival of Holidays foods map before starting to walk anywhere! If you’re going to pick up multiple items, you might find that you accidentally passed one marketplace on the way to another and need to walk back in the other direction. Or, you might be headed to a ride with a marketplace of interest located nearby or on the way. Before you start picking up items, see where the marketplaces are located on the map so that you can effectively plan your route and save some walking.
Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays Entertainment
I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to be at Disneyland right now. The entire resort across both theme parks is BUZZING with musical acts and character performances. It feels like there is some live music or performance to see at every moment of your day.
The Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure feeds this frenzy of entertainment. There are a number of bands that perform throughout the day, a character cavalcade, and a character street show that you can’t miss.
First up, I’ll share more on what might be my favorite Christmas entertainment that’s part of the festival (it competes for the top spot with A Christmas Fantasy Parade).
Disney ¡Viva Navidad! Street Party During Festival of Holidays
Tucked in the back corner of Disney California Adventure in the Paradise Gardens area the Disney ¡Viva Navidad! celebration is a ~12 minute high energy street party that occurs throughout the day. The show features authentic folklórico dancers, mariachis, Brazilian samba dancers, and drummers. The show also features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and the three caballeros (Donald Duck, Panchito, and Jose) and two large Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus 12-foot-tall mojiganga puppets.
Throughout the twelve minutes there is a collection of authentic dances and music types. The show artfully mixes together Disney characters and the various music. The dancers are SO impressive and really put a ton of energy out there to give you a great show. Each performer is clad in a beautiful authentic costume. There are floats and bikers darting around the performance area at high speeds which just adds to the energy and excitment.
You can watch the finale of the Disney ¡Viva Navidad! show below.
You can watch the entire show on Youtube here.
The ¡Viva Navidad! area also features character meet and greets with favorite characters (including Mirabel from Encanto), special food items, and other live entertainment. This is a great addition to the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure.
Viewing Area Tip for Disney ¡Viva Navidad!
Right in the middle of the performance area there is a section that is marked off during the lead up to the show because the main float of the show has to turn in that spot and uses the area. Right after the float has turned (happens one minute in), this area opens up and is accessible for guests to view. This is also where the technical leads for the show stand to supervise. As is the rule for most shows, standing right near the director will provide a great central view of all the action.
So, the best way to get a good view for Disney ¡Viva Navidad! is to line up right next to this yellow line and then after the float turns and the Cast Member gives you the go ahead to move forward into this protected section. Stand right in front of Bayside Brews in the shade (the mid day sun can be hot even when in the winter) while you wait. This also allows you to walk up a little closer to showtime and still end up with a front row view.
Other Festival Entertainment – Live Music, Character Cavalcade
Mickey’s Happy Holidays is a character cavalcade that travels the length of the Disney California Adventure parade route featuring toy soldier drummers and some of your favorite Disney characters dressed in holiday gear. You’ll spot some characters that you wouldn’t usually see dressed up for the holidays – Mr. Incredible and Frozone from the Incredibles were sporting red and blue, respectively, Santa hats.
At other moments throughout the day, you’ll also encounter the toy soldier drummers performing in front of Ariel’s Undersea Adventure. These live drummers really bring the energy.
There are also other bands and musical acts representing the various different holidays and cultures that play throughout the event. Those include:
- Mariachi Divas – a supremely talented group of performers that put their own spin on holiday tunes
- Mostly Kosher – Eclectic blend of music that honors Hanukkah with music styles ranging from klezmer and jazz to Latin and rock
- Blue13 Dance Company – The group celebrates Diwali with traditional dances
- Phat Cat Swinger – Big band group that performs swinging holiday music with a twist
- The Mistletoes! – This a cappella vocal group celebrates both Christmas and Kwanzaa through rhythm and soul
- Tina and The Sounds of Celebration! – This group from Latin America fires up the crowd with Salsa, Merengue, Caribbean and Latin Rock music
These music groups provide an awesome atmosphere and are easy to walk up and enjoy at the festival stage in front of World of Color or in the Wine Country terrace area. Check the Disneyland daily entertainment schedule for times during your trip.
Meet Santa at Disney Festival of Holidays
Santa Claus meets guests in Disney California Adventure in the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Santa will be here meeting guests until Christmas. That day he has to get back to the North Pole to get ready to deliver presents.
