First look at the foods for the Festival of Holidays in Disney California Adventure

The holidays at the Disneyland Resort return November 12! Also returning this year is Disney California Adventure’s Festival of Holidays. From November 12 to January 9, guests can enjoy tasty eats and drinks at the Festive Foods Marketplace. Eight Marketplace booths will offer tasty holiday dishes that are a nod to family traditions and dishes from around the globe.

Pick up the Disney Festival of Holidays Tasting Passport at any of the Festive Foods Marketplace kiosks and receive stamps as you taste your way through all the great sips and bites at the eight Festive Foods Marketplaces kiosks. When you collect all the marketplace stamps, stop by the Holiday Central Pergola (located near The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure) and receive a special completion stamp.
