NEWS: Festival of Holidays Opens EARLY at Disneyland Resort

The holidays are kicking off in spectacular fashion at Disneyland!

The Festival of Holidays is BACK at Disney California Adventure from November 14th through January 7th, 2026, but we got an early look at the festival and most of its offerings! Come check it out!

We’re trying out the food booths and taking in the vibes at this year’s festival! Already, several offerings have definitely stood out!

After admiring the special festival tables, we picked up a festival guide!

You can find a full map in here! Even if you’ve been to the park dozens of times, we recommend grabbing it since it points out the highlights of the festival specifically.

Along with the plethora of eats, you’ll be able to find event-exclusive entertainment like live music, the Mickey’s Happy Holidays character celebration, Holiday Toy Drummers, Disney ¡Viva Navidad! Street Party, and so much more!

We’re making our way around trying tons of food, and will be posting our full reviews soon!

Marketplaces (also known as food booths) offer plenty of event-specific holiday fare, with some new offerings that you can pair with returning classics. These booths are found all over the park, and you can even find marketplace offerings at established restaurants like Paradise Garden Grill and Smokejumpers Grill.

And there you have it! Let us know what you’re most excited to try, and continue to follow us for more extensive coverage of the 2025 Festival of Holidays!
