The 2025 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. You can enjoy the flavors of the season a la carte or get a Sip and Savor Pass to enjoy a wider selection of options. If you’re looking to pre-plan your adventure, you can use our reviews as a guide to know what to get and what to skip!

We tried several options this year and invite you now for a first taste of the food and drink available for the 2025 Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure!

EDITOR’S NOTE: This article was updated after posting with additional information on 11/25.

Sip and Savor Pass

The 2025 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 Festive Food Marketplace kiosks. Redemptions can also be used at participating locations around the park where tasting-sized portions are offered. You can learn more about all menu options below.

Each Sip and Savor Pass is available with 6 digital coupons that can be used on select items. Once you’ve made your choices, 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

• 6-coupon Regular:
  • $49
• 6-coupon Magic Key passholders:
  • $46

Value Alert

To get the most bang for your buck out of the 6-coupon passport, you’ll just want to make sure you don’t get any of the items that cost less than $8.17 (regular) or $7.67 (Magic Key passholder). 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., Julius Katz & Sons, Seaside Souvenirs, Festival Gifts, Marketplace kiosks, and Sip and Savor Carts in the park.
• FOOD HOURS: The Disney Festival of Holiday Festive Food Marketplace kiosk booths are typically open from 11:30am – 8:30pm but always check the Disneyland app on the day of your visit for the latest information.
• SAVE TIME: Marketplace kiosks are equipped to sell you items from ANY of the kiosks in the park. So find the shortest line and you can make your purchase for ALL locations at once. Then, simply take your receipt to the appropriate Marketplace kiosks throughout the day to get your items! NOTE: This will only work for items at Marketplace kiosks; to redeem or purchase Sip and Savor items from non Marketplace kiosks, you will have to wait in the respective lines each location. Also, all redemptions made must be picked up on the day of redemption or they will be considered forfeited.

From Festive Food Marketplaces

The Disney Festival of Holiday Festive Food Marketplaces are small kiosks that dot the park. While themed options exist all around the resort, the offerings from these locations are specifically centered on the event. You can pay for items here with cash or by using redemptions from a Sip and Savor Pass. Here’s a look at the full menus including reviews of everything we tried!

✨ Chorizo Queso Fundido

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

✨ Chorizo Queso Fundido ($8) served with tortilla chips (Also available at Cozy Cone 5 – Popcone). We’ve had this in previous years and there is a good kick of heat from the chorizo.

✨ Sticky Toffee Pudding Macaron

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

✨ Sticky Toffee Pudding Macaron ($9) is a Mickey-shaped chocolate macaron filled with vanilla buttercream, date cake, and salted toffee sauce. We’ve had this in previous years and if just reading that description makes your mouth water then you know exactly what you’re getting here. It’s every bit as good as you would hope for and yes it’s a sugar bomb. Decadent and rich. Great to share!

Hollywood Lounge / Studio Catering Co.

✨ Beef Brisket Slider

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

✨ Beef Brisket Slider ($9.50) with smoked onions and horseradish ketchup on a pretzel roll (Also available at A Twist on Tradition). We’ve had this in previous years and while not particularly very holiday-ey, the flavors are a great meld of what you might expect. Our only real complaint was a very soggy bottom bun.

Paradise Garden Grill

Berry Pomegranate Paloma

RATING: ☀️☀️☀️☀️⚫

Berry Pomegranate Paloma ($19.25) is an alcoholic beverage with tequila, blueberry purée, lime, cranberry and pomegranate juices, and agave syrup topped with Minute Maid Aguas Fresca and garnished with an orange wheel and a chile-lime rim (Also available at Merry Mashups & Smokejumpers Grill).
