We Ate an ABSURD Amount of Sugar for a Prize in EPCOT…and It Was 100% Worth It!

EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays starts TODAY and we couldn’t be more excited!

This festival runs from November 29th to December 30th this year and we’re live from the first day to cover everything there is to do! Yes, that includes the festival merchandise, all the holiday kitchens and their offerings, and the special additional offerings such as the Holiday Cookie Stroll! That’s right, you can win a PRIZE for eating a ton of cookies in EPCOT!

To complete the 2024 Festival of the Holidays Cookie Stroll, you’ll need to buy FIVE cookies from various food booths you can find in your Festival Passport (which you’ll want to pick up close to the front of the park at the start of your day). You’ll get a sticker for each cookie you purchase, and you’ll need to fill in each spot to win your prize!

This year, the cookies available as part of the stroll are:

- Spaceship Earth Tile Gingerbread Triangle from Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow
- Hazelnut Linzer Cookie at Bavaria Holiday Kitchen
- SNICKERS-Doodle Cookie at American Holiday Table
- Black and White Cookie at L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen
- Peppermint Pinwheel Cookie at Yukon Holiday Kitchen
- Coffee Mocha Cookie at Mele Kalikimaka Holiday Kitchen
- Cinnamon-Spiced Chocolate Crinkle Cookie at Nochebuena Cocina
- Holiday Sugar Cookie at Connections Cafe
- Peanut Butter Cookie with Festive Red & Green M&M’s Milk Chocolate Minis at Sunshine Seasons

Make sure you ask Cast Members to stamp your festival passport so you can keep track of all those cookies! Now, you can buy five different cookies on this list, or five of the same (or any combination). Then, stop by the Holiday Sweets and Treats food booth to receive a Specialty Completer Cookie!

This year to complete the challenge we grabbed them ALL. Remember, you only need five…but we are overachievers! So we tried the Peanut Butter Cookie made with Red & Green M&M’S Milk Chocolate Minis…

…the Black and White Cookie…

…the Coffee Mocha Cookie…

…the SNICKERS-Doodle Cookie…

…the Spaceship Earth Tile Gingerbread Triangle…

…the Peppermint Pinwheel Cookie…

…the Hazelnut Linzer Cookie…

…the Holiday Sugar Cookie…

…and the Cinnamon-Spiced Chocolate Crinkle Cookie.

Once we completed our Cookie Stroll, we took our Festival Passport to the Holiday Sweets & Treats booth to get our prize, which was a gingerbread cookie mix!

All you need is water and you can make and decorate your own cookies at home. You also get festive sprinkles and M&M’s!

It’s also important to note it doesn’t have to be ONE person getting the cookies — you can combine festival passports to get the prize, or you can bring your passport back and get your stickers over multiple visits.
