The 2024 Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure is back once more bringing the flavors of the season to life with noshable nibbles, sensational sips, and tantalizing tastes from around the world to tempt every palate.

We tried several options this year and invite you now for a first taste of the food and drink available for the 2024 Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure!

Sip and Savor Pass

The 2024 Festival of Holidays Sip and Savor Pass is available to ALL guests which means you have the opportunity to taste your way through a choice of different dishes or non-alcoholic beverages from participating Festival Marketplace kiosks.

Tasting Passports are available with either 8 coupons or 4 coupons. Redemptions for the Sip and Savor Tasting Passport can also be used at participating locations around the park where tasting-sized portions of are offered. A Cast Member will scan the barcode on the back of your pass then you simply enter the 4-digit code to complete your transaction.

Prices

• 8-coupon Regular ($63)
• 8-coupon Magic Key passholders ($58)
• 4-coupon ($32) – No Magic Key Discount

Value Alert

To get the most bang for your buck out of the 8-coupon passport, you’ll just want to make sure you don’t get any of the items that cost less than $7.87 (regular) or $7.25 (Magic Key passholder). For the 4-coupon passport, don’t get items that cost less than $8 to maximize your savings. Considering the prices, that shouldn’t be terribly difficult as long as you avoid desserts and drinks!

Know Before You Go

• WHERE TO BUY: The pass can be purchased at a number of places you might not expect (with shorter lines) including Elias & Co., Festival Gifts, Festive Food Marketplace, Julius Katz & Sons, Seaside Souvenirs, and Sip and Savor Carts in the park.
• SAVE TIME: Festive Food Marketplace kiosks are equipped to sell you items from ANY of the kiosks. So find the shortest line and you can make your purchase for ALL locations at once. Then, simply take your receipt to the appropriate kiosks to get your items! NOTE: This will only work for items at Festive Food Marketplace kiosks; to redeem or purchase Sip and Savor items from non Festive Food Marketplaces, you will have to wait in the respective lines for each location.
• HOURS: The Festive Food Marketplace kiosk booths are typically open from 10:30am – 9:00pm but always check the Disneyland app on the day of your visit for the latest updates.

The Holiday Duet (NEW)

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

The Holiday Duet ($9.25) is half portion of both Chorizo Queso Fundido Mac & Cheese and the Savory Kugel Mac & Cheese giving you the the most bang for your buck. Sample both items with a single Sip and Savor redemption! See our thoughts on each below.

Cranberry Christmas Mule (NEW)

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Cranberry Christmas Mule ($17.50) features gin, elderflower & ginger liqueurs, cherry purée, cranberry & lime juices, topped with a citrus hard seltzer and garnished with a lime wedge gummy. There’s a lot going on here but it’s perfectly refreshing and despite the ingredient list is not sickeningly sweet.

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️⚫⚫

M&M’S Peanut Butter Fudge Cake ($7.50) is a chocolate fudge cake filled with peanut praline and M&M’S Peanut Butter Minis, glazed with salted peanut butter, and topped with vanilla Chantilly crème. This is such a dense, rich, and wonderful addition to the menu options this year. It’s super sweet but oh so delicious!

Holiday Mash Bowl (NEW)

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️⚫⚫

Holiday Mash Bowl ($8.75) features chicken, cheddar mashed potatoes, and turkey gravy with cranberry stuffing crunch. On face value this should be a winner but the downfall is the use of the same chicken nuggets that were used during Pixar Fest which are absolutely terrible. The cheesy potatoes are really good though.

Sonoma Terrace

Pan Con Pollo

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

Pan con Pollo ($10.25 for full size portion) features Braised Chicken, Spiced Tomato Sauce, Mayonnaise and Mustard Dressing in a French Bread Roll, served with Pickled Vegetable Slaw.
