Happy Halfway to the Holidays!
With temperatures soaring to near 100 degrees in parts of the country, it is hard to imagine that we are almost halfway to Christmastime and the holiday season! If you are one of the folks who absolutely love the holidays and look forward to that very special time of year, Disney is here to help get you into the spirit with the Halfway to the Holidays celebration!
Beginning June 23, Disney Parks is offering fun festivities, spreading glee and that jolly feeling we so often associate with the “most wonderful time of the year!”
One of the tastiest ways to celebrate Halfway to the Holidays is by sampling some of the treats and sips that will be served up at select locations on both coasts. Here are a few of the goodies that will be making their way to Disney Parks just in time for Halfway to the Holidays!
Let’s take a look:
Disneyland Treats
The Christmas Dinner Corn Dog will be available from June 23 through June 30 at the Downtown Disney District in Disneyland Resort. The corn dog from Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs is made with a turkey hot dog, dipped in batter, and rolled in panko crumbs. To top off your Christmas dinner, corn dogs are served with cranberry sauce.
Also available from June 23 to June 30, the Peppermint Churro from California Churro is rolled in crushed peppermint, drizzled in mint frosting, and topped with peppermint candy pieces.
Walt Disney World Treats
These adorable Minnie Mouse cupcakes will be available from June 23 to June 26 so you will have to be quick to snag one! You can find these scrumptious delights at Gasparilla’s Island Grille found at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. It’s a chocolate cupcake filled with cookies and cream mousse and topped with ganache-dipped buttercream, cookie ears, and a holiday bow.
Available from June 23 to June 26, this delicious peppermint bark cheesecake can be found at The Mara at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Nothing says the holidays quite like peppermint and this cheesecake has a chocolate cookie, a peppermint crust, and is topped with vanilla panna cotta. Yum!
If you missed the opportunity to pick up one of these festive Gold Christmas Tree Popcorn Buckets, we are excited to say they’re back! These buckets will be available across Disney Springs at outdoor vending carts but hurry! They will only be available while supplies last!
Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company in Disney Springs is joining the fun by putting a little touch of the holidays into your coffee. Available from June 23 to June 26, these tasty sips will have you closing your eyes and imagining throwing another log onto the fire. Above: Peppermint Mocha with dark chocolate sauce, peppermint syrup, and whipped cream. Below: White Chocolate Gingerbread Latte, white chocolate sauce and gingerbread syrup with whipped cream. Both of these delights are available hot and iced, and if you are over 21 years of age, spirits can be added.
All of these tasty eats and sips are available beginning this Thursday, June 23 but you have to hurry! Halfway to the Holiday treats are only available for a short time!
