Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Foodie Guide Is Here!

Oh, this is one of my favorite signs that Christmas at Disney World is almost here—the holiday party food announcements!

Disney released its complete 2026 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Foodie Guide on October 29, and there's a delicious mix of new treats and returning favorites coming to Magic Kingdom.

The party runs on select nights from November 8 through December 22, bringing back the holiday entertainment we love, including Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks, and Mickey's Most Merriest Celebration.

But let's talk about the food!

A few new offerings that caught my attention include the Gingerbread Cheesecake Beignets, the Tostada de Nochebuena, and the adorable Very Merry Mickey Sundae.

And returning favorites include the Holiday Pot Roast Melt and the Nice List Shake.

One thing I especially appreciate about Disney's Foodie Guides is that they identify which treats are exclusive to the separately ticketed party and which are also available during regular park hours.

That's an important distinction, because not everything in the guide requires a Christmas party ticket.

With so many festive options, I think deciding what to try might be half the fun!

You can find the complete menu, including locations and availability, in Disney Parks Blog's 2026 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Foodie Guide.

Disney Jollywood Nights Has a Whole New Menu of Holiday Treats!

And Magic Kingdom isn't the only park serving up some holiday deliciousness!

Disney released the 2026 Jollywood Nights Foodie Guide on October 28, giving us a look at the food and beverages coming to this year's separately ticketed celebration at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Jollywood Nights returns on select evenings from November 7, 2026, through January 5, 2027, combining old-Hollywood glamour with plenty of Christmas sparkle.

This year's menu has a little bit of everything, from savory dishes to over-the-top desserts.

Some of the new items include the Yuletide Ham Popover, filled with honey-glazed ham and mashed potatoes, and A TWIX on a Classic Pie, featuring caramel mousse, chocolate ganache, and TWIX cookie pieces.

The Partysaurus Rex Brookie is another fun addition, especially for anyone who loves a chocolate chip cookie-and-brownie combination!

And if you're looking for something savory, the returning Birria Taco is back on the menu.

I love that Jollywood Nights has its own personality. Even the food feels a little different from what we'd expect at Magic Kingdom's Christmas party!

Disney Parks Blog's 2026 Jollywood Nights Foodie Guide has the full lineup, including locations and descriptions.

Disney Reveals New Year's Eve Fireworks Times for Three Parks!

We're still getting ready for Christmas, but Disney is already giving us something to look forward to when it's time to welcome 2027!

The New Year's Eve fireworks schedule has appeared for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

And yes, Magic Kingdom is bringing back its special celebration on two nights!

Magic Kingdom — December 30 & 31

I love that Disney offers a 6:30 p.m. show! It's perfect for little ones (or even some of us adults! 😂) who can't quite make it to midnight but still want to enjoy their own New Year's countdown. And with the celebration happening on December 30, too, there are even more opportunities to enjoy those spectacular fireworks over Cinderella Castle!

EPCOT — December 31

EPCOT will welcome the new year with Cheers to the New Year: A Sparkling Celebration, scheduled for 11:54 p.m.

Earlier in the evening, Luminous: The Symphony of Us is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

EPCOT is always such an exciting place to celebrate, especially with the different countries around World Showcase joining in the festivities.

Disney's Hollywood Studios — December 31

Hollywood Studios is joining the countdown, too!

The park's New Year Countdown Fireworks are scheduled for 11:57 p.m., just a few minutes before midnight.

The evening also includes scheduled performances of Fantasmic! and Wonderful World of Animation.

Three parks, three different celebrations, and a whole lot of fireworks to welcome 2027!

These are the published showtimes as of October 29, 2026, and are subject to change.

John Stamos Is Coming to EPCOT with the California Sound!

Well, here's a fun surprise for EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival!

There's been a change to the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, and John Stamos is heading back to EPCOT!

John Stamos and the California Sound are now scheduled to perform on November 11 and 12, replacing The Beach Boys on the concert lineup.

Stamos has a long musical history with The Beach Boys, so while the lineup has changed, fans can still look forward to seeing a familiar performer on the America Gardens Theatre stage.

Between the Food & Wine Festival booths and the concert series, EPCOT is giving us plenty of reasons to visit before the festival wraps up!

You can find the updated lineup on Disney's official Eat to the Beat concert schedule.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Tickets Are Selling Out Fast!

And speaking of the holidays, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is proving just how popular Christmas at Magic Kingdom really is!

By October 28, 15 of the 25 party nights had sold out, leaving only 10 dates available at that point.

That includes 10 of the 12 November parties and five December dates.

Opening night on November 8 is already sold out, along with several dates around Thanksgiving and the final party on December 22.

It's amazing how quickly these holiday evenings fill up, especially once November gets close!

The 2026 parties run on select nights from November 8 through December 22.
