The Best Snacks At the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays
The holidays at EPCOT are truly magical, it is probably my favorite time to visit the parks and EPCOT does not disappoint. There are so many activities and of course, delicious treats to try. In this post, I’ll share the best snacks at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.

We attended the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays during Thanksgiving week. The crowds were pretty heavy but we managed to get a lot done and try lots of delicious treats at the festival.
Most of these snacks are included in Disney’s Dining Plan which means you can use a snack credit for these treats. Look for the little purple DDP icon on the menus to see what foods are eligible. Many of these items are big enough to consider lunch, but they only “cost” you one DDP Snack Credit!
My top snack picks for the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays
Chicken Skewer with Creamy Peanut Sauce – $6.75
The Shanghai Booth at the festival was a winner this year. First up, this Chicken Skewer…
Location: Shanghai Holiday Kitchen – China Pavillion
Cost: $6.75

Chicken Skewer with Creamy Peanut Sauce won me over at this festival.
I LOVE peanut sauce, so this was a winner for me. The chicken skewer was moist and not dried out, the chicken was also seasoned nicely and of course, the sauce was delicious!
Vegetable Spring Rolls with Citrus Sauce
Another favorite from the Shanghai Holiday Kitchen was the Vegetable Spring Rolls!
Location: Shanghai Holiday Kitchen – China Pavillion
Cost: $5.50

The Vegetable Spring Rolls at the Shanghai Food Booth in China were a surprise! I didn’t think they would end up on my “best snack” list but here they are.
One of the things that impressed me was that the spring roll shell was super crisp and it was hot. The flavors were what you would expect for a vegetable spring roll but the sauce was what made this a winner!
This is a great sharable snack!
Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie
I found this cute cookie on our last night. I was walking around getting photos of Spaceship Earth and the Christmas tree, so it seemed appropriate to give the Spaceship Earth Cookie a try. While you’re here check to see if you can get your photo with Santa!

The Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie was not only pretty and Instagram worthy, it was really good.
The salted caramel is sandwiched between two sugar cookies topped with coarse sugar.
The texture was perfect for me. I loved the crunch of the sugar coating, the soft cookie, and the sweet caramel filling.
Le Joyeux Cocktail de Nöel
When in France… am I right? How could I pass up this festive drink? It was quite spendy so maybe consider it your one special drink for the holidays if you are on a tight budget.
Location: Le Marche de Noël Holiday Kitchen in the France Pavillion
Cost: $11.75
The Le Joyeux Cocktail de Nöel was one drink I knew I had to try at this festival. I saw people walking around with it and it looked so yummy! This cocktail is made with Vodka, Cold Brew coffee, and Salted Caramel Toffee. The sign said it had peppermint in it but I didn’t notice it (maybe it was missed!)
Now I must warn you, as someone who does not drink very often I found this to be very strong. I could still taste the cold brew and I loved the topping but just beware it is a strong one!
I enjoyed sipping on this drink as we walked through the France Pavillion and enjoyed the Holiday Decor.

Snickerdoodle Cookie
When I think of Snickerdoodle cookies I think of the cinnamon-ey cookies we make at Christmastime. Don’t be fooled these are made with real SNICKERS candy pieces! This cookie is also a part of the Cookie Stroll!
Location: Yukon Holiday Kitchen –
Cost: $3.00
When I tell you that this cookie was huge… it was! I couldn’t believe how big this cookie was. It was too much for me to eat alone. I ended up sharing it with the whole family.
While it may have been too big for me to finish on my own, it was one of the best cookies at the Festival of the Holidays!
Tip: make sure you have something to drink with this cookie – it’s sweet and rich!
