The Festival of Holidays Tasting Passport

Disneyland’s Festival of Holidays is here and like the last three years, it’s a fun way to experience a celebration of multicultural food, music and entertainment for the holiday season. If you are familiar with Disneyland Food and Wine Festival, Festival of Holidays is a similar set up. Special gourmet small bites, desserts, beer and wine, cocktails and non alcoholic drinks.

Booths are set up throughout California Adventure and there is no extra cost to visit the booths but park admission is required. You can simply walk up and order menu items.

Menu items explore those traditional meals from Christmas Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and Navidad. Adding as well vegetarian, plant-based, and kid-friendly options.

This year, a Festival of Holidays Sip and Savor pass is available to both regular park ticket holders and annual pass holders.

Tips for the sip-and-savior pass:

  • $51 for Annual Pass Holders and $56 for general park ticket holders.
  • Available to Purchase at various locations in California Adventure. Like the Festival Merchandise carts, Seaside Souvenirs,Holiday Central, Kingswell Camera Shop, Rushin’ River Outfitters, Sip and Savor Cart, and Embarcadero Gifts.
  • You do not have to have a Sip and Savor Pass to participate in Festival of Holidays. Just walk right up to the booth and buy the menu items.
  • You get 8 food and drink coupons. These do not include alcoholic beverages.
  • Can be used on multiple days through January 6th. So if you are there for more than one day, you can use it throughout your visit.

Once you have purchased your treats and delicious drinks make sure to them on over and enjoy some amazing entertainment.

ABOUT ME

Welcome to your official unofficial food guide for Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park.

As a current Disneyland Cast Member, I’m a frequent visitor as a guest. If I’m not working, I’m definitely playing in the parks with my friends and trying out all of the great treats, food, desserts, and drinks!

Two of my family members are very much into the art of culinary, so I admire gastronomy and the beautiful ways it introduces us to so many cultures.

This blog will focus on new menu items, seasonal treats and drinks, and we all have different taste palate’s but don’t be afraid to try new things and join me on this journey so we can all discuss food. This is an open community and all comments are welcomed but please keep it respectful!
