Festive Holiday Dining Experiences Arrive at Disneyland Resort

Three festive treats: a Santa hat cucumber bite, a green Christmas tree sandwich, and a gingerbread man sandwich. Text reads "3 Holiday Dining Experiences."

The holiday season is almost here, bringing along delightful treats and festive cheer at Disneyland Resort! This year, three exclusive holiday dining experiences await visitors, and even Santa is making an appearance.

Guests can enjoy the spirit of the season through three special events:

  1. Holiday Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Hearthstone Lounge
  2. Mickey’s Holiday Pajama Party Breakfast and Brunch at Storytellers Cafe
  3. Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates the Holidays

Advanced reservations are recommended, as these popular events fill up quickly. Here’s a closer look at each festive experience:

Holiday Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Hearthstone Lounge

Located at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, this tea event runs on select days from December 3 to December 24, 2024. It’s more than just a tea party—it’s a memorable gathering with Santa and Mrs. Claus, complete with delicious holiday-themed treats.

Guests can choose from three tiers of tea experiences: Classic, Premium, and Deluxe, each featuring fine loose-leaf teas, savory tea sandwiches, and sweet pastries. Menu highlights include caprese salad, shrimp salad, prime Holstein sandwiches, truffled Christmas eggs, and scones. The Deluxe Tea also offers strawberries with chantilly cream and a glass of champagne.

Throughout the event, visitors can capture special moments with Santa and Mrs. Claus, who will share stories of holiday baking and tea traditions. To enhance the festive vibe, holiday tunes like "Jingle Bells" will play in the background. Reservations for this one-of-a-kind tea event open on October 31, 2024.

Mickey’s Holiday Pajama Party Breakfast and Brunch at Storytellers Cafe

This cozy breakfast and brunch at Storytellers Cafe, also at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, will be available from November 19, 2024, to January 1, 2025. Mickey and his pals, dressed in their holiday pajamas, will be on hand to greet guests amidst festive decor. Expect seasonal bites and plenty of holiday cheer, making it a perfect outing for the whole family.

For evening diners, the Storytellers Cafe Holiday Dinner offers an all-you-can-enjoy holiday buffet, though Mickey and friends won’t be present for this meal. Special Thanksgiving meals will also be offered on November 28.

Check availability to secure your spot for these festive experiences at Storytellers Cafe.

Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates the Holidays
