At Universal Studios Florida, TODAY Café is serving up The Elegant Ornament, a dessert so pretty you’ll swear it could hang on your tree. But don’t be fooled by its beauty, because inside this shiny sphere is a rich chocolate crème brûlée with a white chocolate peppermint center ready to melt your holiday heart. If you’re looking to warm things up, hop over to the Green & Red Coconut Club for Espress-O Come All Ye Faithful, a delightful cocktail combining vodka Madagascar vanilla, crème de cacao, crème de menthe, and cold brew concentrate with a crushed candy cane rim. It’s basically Christmas in a cup. Must be 21+ to enjoy, of course.
Over at Central Park Crêpes, the Snickerdoodle Crepe is stealing the spotlight with cinnamon mascarpone, snickerdoodle crumbles, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of holiday sugar dust. And if churros are your love language, Hop on Pop is whipping up hot chocolate topped with toasted meringue alongside a holiday churro drenched in white chocolate and festive sprinkles.
You’ll also find adorable holiday sugar cookies sprinkled throughout the resort at multiple snack stops during Holidays at Universal, perfect for munching while you parade-hop or sip a Butterbeer under the twinkling lights of Hogsmeade.
Each park is joining the foodie festivities, with special offerings available at:
- Universal Studios Florida favorites like Lombard’s Seafood Grille, TODAY Café, Finnegan’s Bar & Grill, San Francisco Pastry Company, Louie’s Italian Restaurant, Chez Alcatraz, Central Park Crêpes, and DreamWorks Imagination Café
- Islands of Adventure hotspots including Confisco Grille, Croissant Moon Bakery, Watering Hole, and of course Hop on Pop
