food IS a theme park
EPCOT’s 2022 International Festival of the Holidays is just a few weeks away from starting!
Festival of the Holidays
The Festival will kick off on November 25th and will offer special entertainment, unique treats, and much more. One of the special things that is often offered at the Festival is the Holiday Cookie Stroll — a food crawl of sorts that rewards you with a special prize. And now we have confirmation on just what cookies will be included in 2022!
We know that the fall season just started, and Disney is in full Halloween mode right now. Jack-o-lanterns and fall leaves decorate Main Street, U.S.A. and you’ll find all kinds of apple and pumpkin treats in the confectionery cases. But what’s that we can hear in the distance? Could it be…jingle bells?
Soon it’ll be the Christmas season!
The holidays are going to be here before you know it, and Disney is celebrating the season BIG. One of our favorite events of this time of year is the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Now, Disney has finally released a full list of Holiday Kitchens that will be at this festival. Find out which food booths are returning this year in our full list here, and check out one NEW booth!

Christmas Tree at the Grand Floridian
We had been patiently waiting for Disney to announce what we can expect from the holiday season this year, since 2021 brought us Disney’s Merriest After Hours event instead of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but we now know that the Christmas party is returning, so let’s take a look at what else has been confirmed to return to Disney World this holiday season!
EPCOT is basically festival town these days, and now we’ve got some BIG festival news for 2022!
Ready to celebrate the holidays in EPCOT?
Whether you’re into arts, food & wine, or flowers and gardening, there’s an EPCOT festival for you! Every year, EPCOT also typically hosts its International Festival of the Holidays, where the park is transformed to celebrate holiday traditions from around the world!

If you’re a Disney World fan, you probably know about the wonders that are EPCOT Festivals. There is a festival running in EPCOT almost every day of the year at this point!
EPCOT sunsets are EXTRA beautiful!
The year starts with EPCOT Festival of the Arts, then EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, then EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (the BIG one), and ends with EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. No matter the fest, there are a lot of food and drinks to try and that can get EXPENSIVE — so, how should YOU budget?
Last year, we really missed the Candlelight Processional, which is one of the best parts of the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays.
Candlelight Processional
The event, which has a celebrity narrator tells the story of Christmas while backed by a live orchestra and choir, is a must-see during the holidays at Disney World. The Candlelight Processional returned to Disney World this year after a year off, but among the celebrity narrators, a fan-favorite was missing: Neil Patrick Harris. And now the actor has commented on having to miss out on this year’s event and he commented on next year’s event.
