UPDATED December 13, 2024

Christmas Day is Wednesday, December 25, 2024. If you’re celebrating the holiday season in Disney World, you can still enjoy a traditional holiday feast even if you’re away from home! After all, even Santa doesn’t live on cookies and milk alone…

Christmas in Magic Kingdom

Here we have gathered a list of restaurants where you can find a meal with the trimmings on the BIG HOLIDAY! Select restaurants on our list serve holiday-style meals either year-’round or throughout the holiday season. However, as more restaurants announce any special menus they may be serving specifically on Christmas Day 2024, we’re adding to this list… so check back often as you make your Disney World holiday plans!

And remember — Advance Dining Reservations are always highly recommended for Table Service meals in Disney World, but that is ESPECIALLY true for any major holidays. 

Magic Kingdom

Liberty Tree Tavern — Year-Round

You can get a Thanksgiving-inspired meal at Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Tree Tavern year-round. It’s a mainstay for a lot of folks visiting Magic Kingdom during this time of year, and for good reason. Oh, and did we mention it’s all-you-care-to-enjoy? Just like going back for seconds at home.

Patriot’s Platter

The menu features items like pot roast, roasted turkey breast, oven-roasted pork, mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, mac & cheese, and herb stuffing. There are even options for special diets like plant-based, gluten-, and dairy-free eaters. Don’t skip dessert either — that Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake is one of our favorite desserts in Magic Kingdom!

The Diamond Horseshoe — Year-Round

Just steps away, you’ll find The Diamond Horseshoe, which features a similar menu to Liberty Tree Tavern under a different name — the Frontier Feast. It’s also all-you-care-to-enjoy and has the same items you’ll find at Liberty Tree Tavern.

YUM

Even though Disney World — and Magic Kingdom especially — can be seriously busy on Christmas, having two options for the traditional turkey day meal in this park is a game changer!

EPCOT

Garden Grill — Year-Round

This EPCOT spot focuses on comfort food, which means you can find a lot of traditional holiday-style items on this all-you-care-to-enjoy menu. And the best part? It’s a CHARACTER MEAL featuring Chip ‘n Dale along with Pluto and Mickey Mouse, so you get to celebrate with some of the most popular Disney pals!

Farmer’s Skillet at the Harvest Feast

The family-style feast comes with a salad, grilled beef, and a berry shortcake for dessert, but you’ll also get some additional eats alongside those items. Barbecue roasted chicken, macaroni & cheese, seasonal vegetables, and creamy mashed potatoes will all be brought to your table as well.

EPCOT Candlelight Processional Dining Package

I want to stress that the meals available through an EPCOT Candlelight Processional Dining Package are NOT necessarily traditional holiday meals in terms of cuisine. However, these popular Dining Packages provide guests with a breakfast, lunch or dinner meal at select Epcot restaurants and guaranteed seating to the popular EPCOT Candlelight Processional holiday spectacular held at 5PM, 6:45PM and 8:15PM.

Hollywood Studios

Hollywood & Vine

Starting November, you can celebrate the winter holidays alongside Minnie and her friends at Minnie’s Holiday Dine!

Minnie’s Holiday Dine!

This buffet has included often offerings such as carved herb-roasted turkey breast with garlic redskin mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing, sautéed green beans, turkey gravy, and cranberry orange relish. And Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto will visit your table in their HOLIDAY BEST while you dine!

Also note that in past years, we’ve found that many of Disney’s World’s table service restaurants will offer at least some form of turkey or pork entree on Christmas Day, even if they don’t announce it ahead of time.

Disney Resort Hotels

Whispering Canyon Cafe at Wilderness Lodge

Whispering Canyon Cafe at Wilderness Lodge serves a special prix fixe holiday meal for lunch and dinner on both Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Whispering Canyon Cafe

These offerings are in lieu of the regular menu, so the typical a la carte offerings will not be served. Instead, a 3-course meal will start with cornbread and a house salad. Then guests may choose from two all-you-care-to-enjoy skillets:

• Holiday Skillet featuring oak-smoked turkey, slow-smoked pulled pork, Western-style sausages, maple-chipotle pork ribs, cornbread stuffing, sautéed green beans, giblet gravy, cranberry relish, buttered corn and smashed Yukon potatoes
• Plant-Based Skillet featuring maple-chipotle barbecued jackfruit, spicy ‘sausage’, mustard-glazed beefless tips, herb-brushed Trick’n Chick’n, roasted potatoes, oven-roasted carrots, sautéed green beans and charred peppers

Disney suggests that you “Save room for dessert! Each holiday meal includes a seasonal dessert sampler.”

Pricing for 2024 is as follows:

• Adults (ages 10 and up): $47 per person, plus tax and gratuity
• Children (ages 3 to 9): $28 per person, plus tax and gratuity

Wine Bar George

Wine Bar George shares the following about the specialty menus the spot is serving this year: “This year’s menu showcases some of Wine Bar George’s most beloved dishes, like the tender Grilled Ribeye and Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites, alongside festive holiday highlights. Savor the delicate Fillet of Branzino or the perfectly Pan-Seared Chicken Breast, each dish will pair perfectly with with any of our wines or a signature Wine Bar George cocktail.

Finish your holiday feast with our decadent Chocolate Peppermint Tart—a rich, festive dessert topped with whipped cream and peppermint crumble that’s sure to put you in the festive spirit.”

Quick Service Christmas Meals

Perhaps you aren’t planning to partake in complete Table Service restaurants on Christmas Day. That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the traditional tastes of the holiday!

Holiday Feast Time!

You’ll likely find that Resort Hotel Quick Service restaurants serve up a feast of their own.

Off Disney World Property

Restaurants nearby Disney World are also serving specialty menus!

Simply Capri at Flamingo Crossings

We’ll be keeping an eye out for more Disney World restaurants that will be featuring Christmas dinner and menus, so stay tuned for more!
