From November 11, 2022 through January 8, 2023, Disney California Adventure park and some friends of the festival at the Downtown Disney District will be joining in the holiday spirit with the return of the Disney Festival of Holidays! This festival highlights diverse cultural celebrations, like Christmas, Navidad, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, and Three Kings' Day, through music, entertainment, and, of course, food!

For Disney Festival of Holidays, there are plenty of delicious items to try at the Festive Foods Marketplaces, like the Pumpkin Layered Cheesecake at Grandma’s Recipes, Turkey Poutine at Merry Mashups, and the Holiday Ham Slider at Winter Sliderland. Each of the marketplaces will transport guests' tastebuds and put them in the spirit of the season, one bite at a time.

To add even more holiday cheer to their experience, guests can consider the Sip and Savor Pass which allows them to redeem eight entitlement tabs on select food and non-alcoholic treats!
