Christmas at EPCOT is about to get a whole lot tastier, and Disney World has officially revealed the complete food and beverage lineup for one of its biggest seasonal events.
The 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays begins November 27, bringing returning Christmas favorites, international dishes, and plenty of new desserts to the park.
However, this year's celebration includes more than a few menu updates.
Disney is introducing two new Holiday Kitchens and expanding its food selections across World Showcase, giving returning visitors several new reasons to explore the festival.
With the celebration running through December 30, fans will have just over a month to sample everything.
EPCOT Confirms Two New Holiday Kitchens
The biggest additions are Season's Eatings and Diwali Holiday Kitchen, both joining the festival for 2026.
Season's Eatings will operate in CommuniCore Plaza, offering dishes inspired by familiar holiday flavors.
Visitors can try Reuben Croquettes with pastrami, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, or the Holly Jolly Bánh Mì featuring smoked turkey and cranberry-Chambord mayonnaise.
The location will also serve a cranberry-almond frangipane bar.
Meanwhile, Diwali Holiday Kitchen will introduce Indian-inspired dishes along the walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion.
Its menu includes chicken biryani, pani puri, a thandai milkshake, and mango mousse.
These additions bring more international flavors to an event already known for celebrating holiday traditions from around the world.
Disney previously confirmed the return of EPCOT's holiday festival and entertainment, but the newly revealed menus provide a much closer look at what visitors can expect.
Disney World Introduces New Holiday Desserts
Christmas treats are another major part of the announcement.
At Sunshine Seasons, visitors will find a Mickey-shaped caramel-gingerbread macaron and a snickerdoodle milkshake.
Connections Café is introducing a wreath matcha mochi doughnut, while Holiday Hearth Desserts will offer peppermint bark and a hot chocolate mousse cup.
The American Adventure's Funnel Cake stand is also getting something new.
Its hot cocoa funnel cake features chocolate-chocolate chip ice cream, marshmallow whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and chocolate sauce.
At CommuniCore Hall, the new Prototype Cookie combines caramel blondie, peanut butter buttercream, TWIX pieces, and shortbread.
These desserts join EPCOT's growing collection of seasonal sweets, including a special Figment-themed treat reserved for Annual Passholders.
Familiar Countries Receive Unexpected Menu Changes
The new Holiday Kitchens aren't the only places getting attention.
Several World Showcase locations are introducing new dishes alongside returning favorites.
Mexico will offer a pork carnitas empanada and Taco Nochebuena with barbacoa beef.
Germany is introducing a Christmas Market Bratwurst, while Italy is adding cheese tortellini carbonara and potato croquettes.
Japan will serve miso ramen and a strawberry-chocolate bun.
France is introducing truffled chicken with mushrooms and a salmon burger.
Of course, several longtime favorites are returning.
Germany's cheese fondue, America's traditional turkey dinner, and Canada's beef bourguignon will remain available.
The combination of new and returning dishes gives longtime EPCOT fans opportunities to revisit familiar locations without ordering exactly the same foods.
It's a different approach from some of the staggered marketplace openings seen during EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival, although Disney's newly released holiday menus do not specify separate opening dates for these kitchens.
More Christmas Drinks Are Coming
Disney has also announced several new beverages throughout EPCOT.
Four seasonal lattes will be available at Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Company locations.
The lineup includes the Mallow Drop Latte, Sugar Sleigh Bells Latte, Candy Cane Latte, and Berry Merry Snowball Latte.
Other additions include a jelly doughnut milkshake, frozen merry punch, and specialty holiday cocktails.
These new drinks provide even more choices for visitors planning to spend an afternoon sampling festival offerings.
Disney World Guests Should Watch the Calendar
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays officially runs November 27 through December 30, 2026.
That timing matters because the celebration doesn't begin until the day after Thanksgiving.
As previously reported, Disney World visitors arriving before November 27 will miss the holiday festival.
The resort has also confirmed changes to EPCOT's holiday entertainment schedule, including earlier Candlelight Processional performances.
Visitors hoping to enjoy the new Holiday Kitchens and seasonal entertainment during the same trip should plan accordingly.
With two new dining locations, expanded menus, and returning Christmas favorites, Disney World is giving EPCOT's holiday festival a noticeable refresh.
For fans who return every December, this year's celebration promises something especially appealing: familiar traditions with plenty of new flavors to discover.
