food IS a theme park
The holiday season means many things in Disney.
Sleeping Beauty Castle during the holidays
We’ve been trying lots of holiday treats in the parks, as well as exploring the Festival of Holidays in Disneyland. There is lots to explore this season, but one iconic treat returned that everyone couldn’t wait for — Disneyland candy canes! And if you wanted one today, you were going to need LOADS of patience.
Disneyland Resort has its share of holiday traditions that we always love seeing this time of year.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We love attending the Disney California Adventure Festival of the Holidays. We also love seeing the characters in their holiday outfits. We also love all the holiday treats! But one of the most special events during the holidays is the Candlelight Processional — and we were there for the first one of the year!
Happy Holidays from the West Coast! The snow is on the castle in Disneyland, so it is officially the holiday season (okay, the snow has been on there since BEFORE Halloween, though).

So while we’re buying up some holiday merchandise and sipping on hot cocoa, we’re also eating up ALL the holiday snacks. So we’re headed over to Disney California Adventure to try a new one!
So we’ve already told you all about the rides in Disneyland Park, but what about the other major Disneyland Resort theme park?
Disney California Adventure
It’s a short walk to get from Disneyland Park to Disney California Adventure (DCA), which is full of even more rides and entertainment, including Avengers Campus! DCA has undergone quite a few changes since opening in 2001, and there are many different rides to fit all kinds of families and interests. Find out everything you need to know about DCA rides right here!
There are just some snacks that Disneyland does better than Disney World.
Tortilla Jo’s
If you’ve ever tasted a Disneyland corn dog, eaten a Disneyland churro, or drunk a Mint Julep, you’ll know we’re speaking the truth. Disneyland also has some great Mexican-inspired fare, including at Downtown Disney, where you’ll find the Mexican restaurant Tortilla Jo’s. Now, Tortilla Jo’s is bringing a new burrito to its menu for the month of December.
Star Wars fans are going to love this Disneyland news!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
We’ve seen some new spicy snacks in Galaxy’s Edge recently, and you can now meet The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda as they walk around! If you’re a lightsaber fan and have been searching for a new hilt, we’ve got good news — you can now buy Qui-Gon Jinn’s Legacy Lightsaber Hilt in Disneyland!
December is bringing a lot of exciting things to Anaheim!
Hello, Black Tap!
There are new holiday treats to try in Disneyland, and there’s tons of new merchandise you can grab. Some restaurants in Downtown Disney are introducing December specials to celebrate the new month, and if you love burgers and shakes, you’ll want to head over to Black Tap ASAP!
Who’s ready for a sweet treat at Disneyland?
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We’ve heard lots of news coming out of Disneyland recently with multiple ride closures, the return of a popular parade, and an iconic ride returning for a limited time. With the holidays upon us, there are lots of new snacks to try, and this one you can ONLY get at one spot during late-night dining!
