Top 10 BEST Eats at Epcot's Festival of the Holidays 2024 | Cookie Stroll Review | Disney World

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- With 16 different food booths and accompanying menus designed to capture the international flavor of the Holiday Season, figuring out exactly what to eat at Epcot's International Festival of the Holidays can be an insurmountable task. We've been attending this Festival for years and after trying all the new eats we decided to make a list breaking down our can't miss items for the 2024 iteration.
Unfortunately, quick services eats like these can be inconsistent at Walt Disney World. Due to this, we make sure to try each item as we number them to see if they're as good as we remember and ultimately deserve to be among the upper echelon of Holiday foodie greatness (at least in our unrefined opinion).
This video also includes our experience completing this years Cookie Stroll. For those that don't know, the Cookie Stroll is an activity where patrons of Epcot's Festival of the Holidays can get their guide book stamped after ordering a differing selection of cookies. After purchasing five of these cookies guests are provided a completer prize at a select location in Epcot's World Showcase. Each year offers a different prize and some unique cookies to try. Since we completed our stroll during this visit we provide our analysis on this years prize and which cookies we think are can't miss.
This was an eventful day for us. Since this is our favorite Epcot Festival, it was hard for us to pin down what exactly we thought should make the list. Due to this, we made sure to cover many other options that stuck out to us and things we think others might like. See our thoughts, favorite eats and festive guide to a good time while we experience the Christmas season at Walt Disney World's most eclectic theme park.

This holiday festival looks so fun. This was a great video, I always love your top 10 videos. DCA food looks better, but Ive always heard Disneyland's food is way better.
The storytellers really make it! We’re so glad you enjoy them, we love filming them and getting to have all our favorites. It’s crazy the difference in the food between the parks.
Jay's mention of Boston Market. We lost our Boston Market's here in the Midwest years and years ago. I thought they were 100% gone, but I guess not!
There's still some in NY for sure!
Yes, I really miss Boston Market!
All of this looks absolutely amazing. Definitely trying all of it! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you enjoy 😊
🎄🎄fun stroll 1 of each starting with the turkey poutine but hot and ending with that frozen hot chocolate. your going to Japan woop woop 🙌🙌🙌🙌🍪
Hot Poutine is preferred LOL I've been hearing a lot of people have been getting it cold, which is disappointing- wish it was just a one off. We can't believe we're going to Japan, it's going to be here before we know it.
Hey guys, it was so awesome getting a chance to meet and talk to you at Epcot on Saturday while you were waiting in that long line for the sushi Christmas tree! Keep up the good work and can’t wait for those Japan videos!
So glad we got to meet you both, thank you for making our time waiting in line go faster :) The lines were crazy that day, but we still had a great time filming this. We are so pumped for Japan!!!
This festival looks so much fun. Hopefully it’s it started when we come next year
It always starts on Black Friday!
It all looked good! The Mickey nitrogen cake pop sounds good!!
Great video ♥️🎄✨
It's so tasty, I always like the desserts at Swirled Showcase! Thank you for watching.
Such a fun video😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😊
FYI -the hazelnut is ground into flour, which is why you don’t see pieces of nuts. You can use ground almond flour too…my Oma was from Germany and made these every year. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for letting us know :)
@@ThemeParkFoodiesI was just going to write that and I saw Marcia’s comment 👍🏻
The linzer cookie from Germany is our absolute favorite from The Festival of the Holidays.
Thank you so much Sam and Jay for your awesome videos 🤩
Came here to say this…not because I know anything about cookies….but because I have a nut allergy and this cookie sent me to the ER last year! Lol prior to last year I don’t believe it had hazelnut because I loved this cookie and never had a reaction before. I was happy to see that they added hazelnut to title/description this year, apparently last year a lot of people had reactions because they (like me) didn’t think to check the allergy friendly menu for this cookie since it didn’t have hazelnut before 😢 I miss this cookie though!
@ we are sad to hear this cookie sent you to ER 😢
we figured it was now in the description of the cookie because of nut allergies.
I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!! You make people happy from afar!
Thank you so much for your kind words Trish, you made our day!!!
I loved this video! The pork with the mushrooms 🍄 looked so delicious!!! Thank you so much sending my love ❤️🍄❤️
So happy you enjoyed 🙂. That was definitely the best dish. It should've been #1! Thank you and sending our love back to you ❤.
Fun vlog you guys 😊 Great overview of the fest. So excited to hear you're going to Japan! We haven't been, looking forward to hearing about your travels ❤
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed the vlog 🙂. Japan has been a bucket list for us. I (Jay) have wanted to go since I was 7 years old. We can't wait to share our experience there with you!
The turkey dinner was one of our favorites!! Linzer cookie was our favorite cookie❤
It's a great well rounded dish and taste like a real meal! I was worried about making the cookie #1 but I am glad everyone seems to love it :)
Another fun blog. Thank you so much, guys. I just love spending time it yous ❤❤
We love spending time with you too 🙂. Thanks so much for your support. It really means a lot ❤.
Happy Sunday! Very much looking forward to watching this tomorrow!!! Many Christmas 🎄 blessings to you both 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Happy Sunday! We're looking forward to you watching 🙂. Many Christmas blessings to you too!
Awesome video! Food looks great!
Thank you! It was 🙂
Enjoy the season!💚
Thank you! You too 🙂
That scoop of potato is ridiculously small! I love this festival but struggle a bit with the food as someone who doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth. Looking forward to trying the schnitzel and the Reuben croquettes. Thanks for sharing your top ten!!
It's more of a tablespoon than a scoop! Germany is the best for savory food. Hope you enjoy the festival this year :)
That twix frozen hot chocolate is my all time favorite drink ever produced on property, I mention it at least twice a day. Hope you two have a great trip to Japan! Enjoy!
It was god tier and honestly blasphemy it wasn't on this list. We realized how great it was in hindsight 😆. Thank you! We're so excited. It's a true bucket list trip for us 🙂.
It appears that there is either hazelnut flour or crushed hazelnuts in the Linzer cookie dough. You can see the darker speckles in the 2 halves of cookie. 😉 Thank you for taking us with you! Epcot was always my favorite part of Disney. ❤
Ahhh gotcha, I wish the taste was more forward, I love Hazelnut! Thank you so much for following along, Epcot is my favorite park too :)
That catfish blew me away . I was shocked at how good it was. And our portion was giant. Prob my #1 item at the fest
We haven't heard anyone say anything negative about the catfish- everyone loves it!
regarding the mini turkey dinner- im a wedding caterers and i honestly have no clue how theyre making a profit at $6.25! I feel like theyre losing money on it. looks delicious!
It is 100% the best value in the park, I am sure Disney has some money they can afford to lose hahah
The apple caramel crumb cake is reminding me of the Eplekake at Kringla Bakery. Have you tried it? If not, it's delicious- and you can get it all the time at Kringla.
Love you guys!
We haven't had it because we always get sucked into the other treats there but we will keep that in mind :) Thank you Lisa!
8 days away from Epcot festival of the holidays for me and my family…..Feasting at TRASH cans….LETS GOOO
You're almost there! Hope you have the best time 🙂. Trash can dining is an Epcot staple 😆.
Hey there!
Flying out to Orlando tonight
Am there for a quickie 4 days
Staying at the Contemporary for the first time
Excited by our 4 restaurant reservations
Flying Fish - my fave and third time there
Brown Derby
California Grill
And Space 220 for the first time
Hope you're both doing well and enjoying the Holiday season
I'm still thinking of coming back in January and getting a vibo in Oakwater for a dining / resort and Springs visit
Hello! Hope you travel safe and have the best time. You're dining at some of our favorite restaurants. Space 220 was amazing on our last visit and we actually have Flying Fish booked for Christmas. The Holidays this year have been pretty eventful for us. We feel privileged to be experiencing so many things. Thank you 🙂.
I love Brown Derby and California Grill!!
Never been to Flying Fish or Space 220
"That is the smallest scoop of mashed potatoes"..... omg Sam! is that a tablespoon lol. Everything looks good. The turkey meals (America and poutine) look so good (having missed T'giving due to bleh...these look so yummy). I love that Jay made a cookie #1. Cookies are one of my food groups in real life so a #1 cookie works. Love the top 10 per usual. It is hard to do an overall top 10. Maybe a sweet top 10, a savory top 10, a drink top 10 lol.... on and on. Ok I am writing too much. Thank you so much. :)
Cookies are a major food group for us too 😆. This 10 was so hard to pin down. I think in hindsight the Frozen Hot Chocolate needed to be on here and the Schnitzel should've been 1. Great idea for all those top ten breakdowns 💡. I just wish Disney made this Festival longer! As always, your kind words really help motivate us. Thank you!
I would like to try the caprese poutine! It looked good.
Great pick! Definitely a better seasonal Poutine 🙂
we were there last week and had the poutine and my cheese curds were frozen 😂 They did warm up slightly as we were walking but still, not the best
Oh my goodness!!! Refreshment Port needs to get it together!
@@ThemeParkFoodies I mean I still ate them lol but yeah...a bit more quality control
Celebrate the holidays around the world 🌎 and at epcot 😊
One of the best places to celebrate 🙂.
Congrats on the Japan trip. Are you going to Tokyo Disney?! This video: are these treats usually annual? Since we will be down there over the holidays 2025, there is a lot of these foods/drinks that look so good! Do most of them come back year to year?
Thank you- it's a bucket list stay for us and we're very excited. We will be doing 3 days at Tokyo Disney :) A lot of the festival of the holidays food items return each year!
I am so jealous. I want to go to Japan soooo bad ! If I went... besides shopping... I wanted to go to pretty much every theme park. Sanrio Puroland, Tokyo Disneyland, Fuji-Q Highland Theme Park, Universal Studios, Aqua Park . I also want to check out the Alcatraz ER Prison Themed Restaurant, a Robot Restaurant, a Maid Cafe and Cafe Ron Ron the all you can eat dessert carousel bar.
Side note: Only 16 boston markets left! Sad times.
If we had two or three weeks we'd definitely be hitting up a bunch more theme parks. Unfortunately, we only have time for Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea. We're hyped though! We'll also be traveling around Tokyo and Kyoto. Going to try to get to a Robot Restaurant and Carousel Sushi spot in Tokyo. Hope you can make it to Japan sometime soon! This is going to be a bucket list trip for us.
So sad! I need to visit a Boston Marker before they're all gone. Their greatness must be recognized!
Great video. We were planning to go to Japan as well but the lines sort of turned us off. Even the line for popcorn can get to be 45 minutes. Hopefully you won’t have that problem. (I’m assuming you are going to Disney Seas)
The popcorn is so popular there! I can confirm we're going to both land and sea 😆. Hoping to beat the lines a bit by going at a deader time and we purchased a vacation package that has some included premier access passes. We're also exploring both Tokyo and Kyoto. We can't wait 🙂. This is a true bucket list trip. Thank you!
@ I’m
Sure you guys will have tons of fun. Besides the plane tickets, everything else is decently cheaper (room, tickets, food…) enjoy.
Theme park foodies 🤘. Rock on.
LET'S EATTTTTTTTTTT!
Wow the Empanadas didn’t make the list 😮
They should have at least gotten a notable mention!
