First Look Inside the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Passport & Decorations

Your Essential Guide to the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Passport & NEW Entrance Decorations

The most wonderful time of the year has arrived at Walt Disney World! The 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays officially kicks off today, November 28, and runs through December 30, 2025. This annual celebration brings together holiday traditions, flavors, and entertainment from around the world.

To help you navigate all the festive offerings across World Showcase and beyond, your indispensable tool is the Festival Passport. This complimentary booklet is your key to tracking all the Holiday Kitchens, entertainment schedules, and participating in the popular Cookie Stroll.

What is the Festival Passport?

The Festival Passport is a free, pocket-sized booklet provided by Disney. It’s essentially a comprehensive program guide that outlines everything the festival has to offer, broken down by location across the park.

Key things you will find inside:

• Holiday Kitchen Menus: A full list of all 18 Holiday Kitchens (food booths) with their savory and sweet offerings, including prices and allergy-friendly notes.
• Entertainment Schedule: Times and locations for the storytellers, musical acts, and the Candlelight Processional performances.
• Holiday Cookie Stroll Tracking: A dedicated page where you collect stamps after purchasing cookies.
• Specialty Merchandise: Details on where to find the festival’s exclusive limited-edition merchandise.

The 2025 Holiday Cookie Stroll Challenge

The Holiday Cookie Stroll is one of the most beloved traditions of the Festival, and the Passport is essential for participating.

How to Complete the Stroll:

1. Locate the Kitchens: Use your Festival Passport to find the official Cookie Stroll locations throughout the park.
2. Purchase the Cookie: Buy the designated cookie at each of the locations.
3. Collect Your Stamps: Present your Passport at each location after purchase to receive a stamp.
4. Claim Your Reward: Once you have collected all five stamps, bring your fully stamped Passport to the designated reward location (typically Holiday Sweets & Treats) to receive a complimentary “completer” cookie and a special commemorative prize.

Tip: You do not have to complete the Cookie Stroll in one day! Keep your Passport safe and finish the challenge on a subsequent visit before December 30th.
