The holidays and food go together like peanut butter and jelly. And Disneyland has some great new offerings for the 2024 holiday season.

So, what’s new at the Disneyland Park this season? 

Alien Pizza Planet introduced Chicken Al Pastor Pizza Slice. To drink they have a new Holiday Green Drink which is apple flavored topped with caramel cold foam. Can you say “Delicious”? For dessert they offer an Alien Reindeer Macaron filled with salted caramel buttercream and chocolate Ganache.

Café Daisy has a new Peppermint S’mores Hot Chocolate. This sounds super yummy with peppermint syrup, chocolate syrup, mini marshmallows, crushed candy cane, and graham cracker dust in a wonderful hot chocolate drink which is perfect for chilly days and nights.

Over at Carnation Café their new item for this year is an Eggnog Old-Fashioned which combines a variety of different flavors.

Peppermint lovers will delight in the Darth by Peppermint dessert at Galactic Grill. They take layers of chocolate sponge and chocolate pudding with peppermint mousse and top it with cookies and cream pieces and candy cane sprinkles. Plus they add  Darth Vader and red lightsaber decorations to that.

Peppermint is the name of the game this season which thrills me to no end. Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor has a Peppermint Cold Brew Float. To Joffrey’s Cold Brew Coffee they add Peppermint Ice Cream. Yum.

Harbour Galley offers new fresh-baked Gingerbread Cookes.
