I’m making it easier to taste your way through Disneyland Resort this holiday season with every holiday dessert to try at California Adventure. I’ve got it categorized, listed and broken down so you can print it, screenshot it, mark it up and hit your favorites one by one.
The massive lists Disney Parks Blog puts out is just that—massive and overwhelming. This takes you right to the sweet spot, getting you ready for dessert anytime.

Festival of Holidays Desserts
These desserts are being sold as part of the seasonal “Festival of Holidays” at Disney California Adventure Park. It means you can also use your Sip and Savor Pass to purchase these items. I’ve also included sweet, non-alcoholic drinks because those can be purchased via Sip and Savor too.
What’s a Sip and Savor Pass? I cover that in this article so be sure to check it out.

Find these marketplace kiosks throughout California Adventure, but mostly along the Performance Corridor. Marketplaces open at about 10:30 am. There’s one line to order and one line to pick up. Alternatively, you can place your entire order at one booth and save your receipt to pick up at the various locations when you’re ready that day.
