Merry Mashups has returned to the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays for 2024, and this year, it’s serving up two new dishes!
The 2024 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays has officially begun, and there is so much to eat and do. From now through January 6th, 2025, you can try all the tasty eats and drinks your heart desires, watch unique entertainment, and more! Wondering just what you can eat at the Merry Mashups booth? We just tried everything there and are giving you our FULL thoughts.
Menu
Over at the Merry Mashups booth you’ll find two new food items — a Holiday Mash Bowl: Chicken, cheddar mashed potatoes, and turkey gravy with cranberry stuffing crunch and the M&M’S Peanut Butter Fudge Cake: Chocolate fudge cake filled with peanut praline and M&M’S Peanut Butter Minis, glazed with salted peanut butter, and topped with vanilla Chantilly crème.
Now that we’ve seen the menu, it’s time to EAT!
Eats
First up, we checked out the Holiday Mash for $8.75. This NEW menu item is filled with chicken, cheddar mashed potatoes, and turkey gravy, with a cranberry stuffing crunch. Good news — we liked this one! It’s a tad salty, but then again, this is theme park food we’re talking about. You really can’t go wrong with mashed potatoes and chicken!
That said, there wasn’t a whole lot of gravy or stuffing here, but still, we quite enjoyed this dish. It’s a nice, warm, comfort food for the holiday season, and we enjoyed this dish!
For dessert we noshed on the M&M’S Peanut Butter Fudge Cake for $7.50. This is another new dish for 2024, and it’s a chocolate fudge cake filled with peanut praline and M&M’S Peanut Butter Minis, glazed with salted peanut butter, and topped with vanilla Chantilly crème. Tempted? Us too. This was AMAZING but so, so, so, so rich.
The M&M’S Peanut Butter Minis reminded us of Reese’s Pieces, so if you love peanut butter and sweet treats, this is a must-buy. The top layer of peanut butter was essentially a really thick peanut butter, while the peanut praline had a nice crunch. Ugh — this is such a rich, heavenly dessert. Be prepared to share; this thing is FUDGY.
Drinks
This year’s menu includes one drink — a Glacier Margarita made with Blanco tequila, blue curaçao, coconut syrup, lime and white cranberry juice, and rosemary syrup garnished with champagne bubble candies on a skewer. This drink was found at A Twist on Tradition booth in 2023.
The drink is well-balanced and sweet, but be sure to mix your drink to really let all the ingredients blend together.
OVERALL
This booth did NOT disappoint! From the hearty bowl to the rich, decadent dessert, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. There are a few things we truly love to eat and will never skip, like peanut butter, potatoes, and chocolate, and this booth has it ALL! Bravo, Disney!
That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
