It wouldn’t be a celebration at Walt Disney World without food, so Epcot has added several new food items to their “Holidays Around the World” celebration from November 25-December 30.
Prost! in the German Pavilion will offer artisan cheese plates or sauerbraten with red cabbage and spatzle. There will also be alcoholic ciders, hot Williams Punch, Caramel Kiss featuring Werther’s Caramel, and gluwein, a house-made hot spiced wine.
Guests looking for a traditional American holiday dinner can stop at American Holiday Table in the American Adventure Pavilion. Dishes there will include slow-roasted turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce or seared pork tenderloin with green bean casserole, roasted sweet potato wedges, and a champagne demi-glace. Follow that up with Shipyard Eggnog White Porter Aged on Bourbon, Firenog (eggnog with Fireball Whisky), Great American Wine Company Red Blend and Chardonnay, hot chocolate, eggnog, and Cocoa Candy Cane (hot cocoa with peppermint Schnapps).
The Alpine Haus between Morocco and France will serve duck confit, dumplings, and roasted Brussels sprouts with a fig reduction; cheese fondue in a bread bowl with fresh steamed vegetables; and sachertorte, a chocolate cake with apricot jam and dark chocolate glaze. Beverages to be served here are Frozen Winter Spice Hot Chocolate featuring Twinings of London Tea (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic available), Weingut Stadt Krems Gruner Vetliner White Wine and Heinrich Red Blend.
Two kiosks will be available in the World Showcase Plaza. Seasonal Southern Delights will serve hoppin’ john (black-eyed peas, ham hocks, and kale with rice and cornbread crumbles); blackened catfish with white cheddar grits with okra, tomato and onion stew; and chocolate pecan tart. Beverages at this stand will be Frozen S’Mores and Central 28 beers.
The other kiosk will be called “Feast of the Three Kings Feast,” celebrating the Latin festival Three Kings Day. This kiosk offers a shredded beef tamale with avocado crema; roasted port with mashed yucca and pickled green bananas; and Three Kings Bread. Coquito (coconut milk) and Coquito with rum floater will also be available.
Other seasonal treats that will be available throughout the park include:
- Mickey Santa Hat cupcake – Fountain View restaurant

Leah grew up in a little farming town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi River. Her Chicago-born husband, David, left the city for her, and they're now raising their three children (Jacob, Jonah and Lydia) just 12 miles from her hometown. As the Senior Editor of the DIS (wdwinfo.com), Leah spends a lot of time writing about, reading about, and discussing Disney. So, it should come as no surprise that one of her family's favorite ways to spend time is going to Walt Disney World and traveling on Disney Cruise Line. She also enjoys shopping, watching movies with her husband and doing crafts with and for her kids.
