Your Guide to the BEST Eats and Drinks at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays

The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off, and we’re bringing you with us to explore everything this exciting event has to offer.

The 2025 Festival of the Holidays runs from November 28th, 2025, through December 30th, 2025. This festival brings Holiday Kitchens, the Candlelight Processional, International Storytellers from around World Showcase, and a whole lot more. We’ve tried EVERYTHING at the festival, and we’re telling you what our favorite eats and drinks are!

We’re STUFFED after trying all the new and returning eats and drinks at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and now we’re bringing you our favorites, so you know which items are worth your time and money! Check out our favorites below.

Emma’s Favorites

The Tostada de Carne from Las Posadas Holiday Kitchen was Emma’s favorite item she tried this year! The Tostada de Carne is $8. It is braised beef tips slow-cooked Mexican-style atop a fried corn tortilla.

While it seemed a bit dry at first, the toppings on the beef really take it up a notch and helps all the flavors and textures to blend wonderfully. The tostada was also wonderfully crisp!

Breedlove’s Favorites

Breedlove has two favorites that he would grab again! First up was the Chorizo Tamale from Nochebuena Cocina. It comes with cotija and spicy red chile sauce for $5.50. He was a huge fan of this dish! The sauce was rich and spicy, the texture was biscuit-like, and the dish was well-rounded in flavor, heat, and texture.

He also really enjoyed the Apple Pie Frozen Slush from Block & Hans. While it tasted more like a frozen mulled cider than apple pie, it still made it on his list of favorites. The frozen apple juice base is delicious (the same base you can find at Screen Door at the BoardWalk and also at Gaston’s Tavern as the base of LeFou’s Brew), and then it is taken to the next level with cinnamon syrup and cinnamon sprinkled on top

Myranda’s Favorites

Myranda hands down loved the Blackened Catfish from American Holiday Table the most of everything she tried. This catfish packs lots of flavor and is generously seasoned with Cajun seasoning. And she can’t get enough of the Comeback Sauce! You can grab this for $6.75.

She also loved the Hard Cider Flight and Holiday Fig Cocktail from Tangierine Cafe. You can get the Hard Cider Flight for $12.75 and it includes the 3 Daughters Brewing Golden Fig Hard Cider, Keel Farms Frostbite Blueberry Ginger Hard Cider, and the Gulf Stream Brewing Holiday Snakebite.

The Sparkling Holiday Fig Cocktail was also one of her favorites at Tangierine Cafe and you can get it for $11.75. It has a great fig taste and the spiciness of a spiced wine.

JP’s Favorites

First up, JP was a huge fan of the Spiced Caramel Apple from Connections Eatery. She said it tasted like Christmas in the best way with lots of apple cider flavor, and hints of sweet caramel and tart cranberry. It is made with Minute Maid Cranberry Juice, apple cider, and caramel syrup, garnished with a cinnamon stick. It is available in a non-alcoholic version for $6.29.

JP also loved the Spring Rolls from Shanghai Holiday Kitchen. You can get them for $6.25. They are served with citrus sauce. These are classic spring rolls with a super crispy exterior, and a vegetable filled interior.

The inside is loaded with vegetable filling was inside and we loved that the vegetables were tender and fresh tasting. The citrus sauce is sweet and adds a bit of brightness to the dish.

Best Booth

There were some good contenders for best booth this year. American Holiday Table, Las Posadas, L’Chaim!, and Le Marche de Noel all served up some seriously good eats and drinks this year. You really can’t go wrong with any of them, but there can only be one winner. Drum roll, please…our favorite booth this year was Le Marche De Noel!

There was so much to love at this booth from the Crème de Saumon Fumé en Brioche aux Grains de Sesames to the Macaron de Noël aux Épices. Plus, the booth also features some wonderful drink options!

Best for Kids

We LOVE the Cookie Stroll at this festival, and we think kids will too! With the cookie stroll, you purchase 5 cookies from any of the cookie stroll locations in the Festival Passport. This year’s prize was a baking spatula and mini M&M’s.

The spatula even had a recipe for cookies attached to it! As you buy the cookies, you’ll get a stamp for each one, and once you’ve collected them all, you can turn your passport in for a prize.
