food IS a theme park
It’s that time — the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has kicked off in Disney World!
2022 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!
We’re here bringing you live updates from the festival on food (of course), entertainment, activities, and tips to use when you visit the festival. It’s been a blast so far trying some new and returning food items and now it’s time to check out a returning booth — Holiday Hearth!
It’s the first day of EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays and we’re here checking out all the Holiday Kitchens, entertainment like the Candlelight Processional, and more.
Holiday Hearth Desserts!
We’ve already had some delicious food today. We tried the crazy delicious food at Chestnuts & Good Cheer and the cheesy goodness of Bavaria Holiday Kitchen Now, it’s time to try another Holiday Kitchen — Holiday Hearth!
Over the years we’ve seen some odd Disney snacks, including several that aren’t necessarily the prettiest flowers in the garden.
Pumpkin Spice Pretzel
There was the infamous Pumpkin Spice Pretzel, the moldy-looking Space Sandwich, and even candy based on poop! Then, just last week, the Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie at EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays got a special makeover. While it was still delicious, we just weren’t really sure what to think of the flesh-colored sprinkles and weird socks. It seems as though the new look wasn’t very popular, because today, the cookie changed yet again!
EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is underway, and we’ve had some delicious eats this year!
Festival of the Holidays Sign
One of the Holiday Kitchens that we really enjoyed this year is Holiday Hearth, set up inside the World Showplace. This booth is home to a variety of festive desserts, including one that we enjoyed more than we expected to — the Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie (which you can get the recipe for here). Now, the Spaceship Earth Cookie has received a holiday makeover and we don’t really know how to feel about it… .
We’ve got our stretchy pants ready and our Santa Hats on because we’re at the grand opening of the 2020 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!
Holiday Hearth
We just got a taste of the new Twix coffee and doughnuts from Joffrey’s Coffee and got a look at the EPIC gingerbread display at the Canada Pavilion. BUT, there’s a TON of brand new goodies joining the group with the debut of the Holiday Hearth this year!
Everybody get your holiday eating pants on! It’s time to stroll and EAT our way through the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays (which is being referred to as the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays this year) and we’re reporting LIVE!
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
Is there a better way to OFFICIALLY launch ourselves into the holiday season than with a trip around World Showcase and Future World to try all of the best holiday eats and treats? We don’t think so. Let’s dive in!
There’s nothing quite like a good EPCOT festival.
