Disney4me Posted Monday at 10:44 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:44 PM Consider this your official warning that continuing to read this post hungry may cause drooling, shaking, and spontaneously booked trips to Disney California Adventure. 2024 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays The 2024 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays has officially begun at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through January 6th, 2025, you can devour some tasty eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat around the park? Well, we’ve checked out all the food, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts of the additional locations apart from the several booths! Aunt Cass Café Over at the Aunt Cass Café, we grabbed the Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding! It is a new item this year with a graham cracker crust topped with pumpkin cheesecake filling, whipped cream, graham cracker crumble, and an espresso brown sugar sauce. Sounds good, right?! Aunt Cass Festival of Holidays menu It costs $7.49, so let’s see if it’s as good as it sounds! Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding The bread pudding itself didn’t have a strong pumpkin flavor. There was a nice spice flavor to it with a bit of cinnamon, but the pumpkin was certainly lacking. The texture of the bread pudding was perfect, as is usual at Aunt Cass’s. It was warm and soft. The pumpkin flavor you do get from this treat comes from the filling on top. The espresso brown sugar sauce has a bitter espresso flavor at first, but it’s followed by a warm and sweet brown sugar flavor. All together, the flavors work very well! Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta Over at the Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta, you’ll find a Holiday Pizza! It comes with roasted turkey, roasted butternut squash, cranberries, arugula, fig jam, and cranberry sauce. Holiday Pizza We grabbed a slice for $9.49! Holiday Pizza We were genuinely surprised by how much we liked this pizza and the combination of toppings! You get a nice smokey flavor from the turkey, which went well with the fig jam and cranberries. It’s a good mix of sweetness from the jam, cranberries, and cranberry sauce and nutty flavor from the butternut squash. Everything together complimented each other beautifully. It was like a Thanksgiving dinner on a pizza! Holiday Pizza slice If this combination intrigues you, we highly suggest giving it a try! Cappucino Cart Over at the Cappuccino Cart, you’ll find a variety of available items. There’s the Peanut Butter Mocha Cold Brew, Peanut Butter Mocha Cocktail, and the Cinnamon Caramel Apple Bundt Cake! Menu at the Cappuccino Cart We grabbed the Cinnamon Caramel Apple Bundt Cake for $7.25. It is drizzled with salted caramel and filled with cream cheese frosting. YUM! Cinnamon Caramel Apple Bundt Cake The bundt cake is a very Christmas-y dessert! You get a sweet cinnamon apple flavor with a hint of caramel in the cake itself. There’s a delicious salty, rich caramel flavor from the drizzle on top, and we got the flavor with almost every bite. It was nice! There wasn’t a lot of cream cheese, so it added a little sweetness, but not too much. It was yummy! Our only problem with this dessert was that it was served chilled. It was still great, but with how dense it is, we think serving it warm would have taken it to another level. But regardless, it was still AMAZING. Churros Near Goofy’s Sky School and Señor Buzz Churros Menu Over at both the churro stand near Goofy’s Sky School and Señor Buzz Churros, you’ll find a festive churro — the Popcorn Tin Churro! Popcorn Tin Churro It has white cheddar popcorn dust and caramel sauce topped with buttered popcorn and costs $7.50. Popcorn Tin Churro This reminds us of kettle corn, thanks to the sweet caramel mixed with the buttery popcorn. You really have to be a fan of caramel to enjoy this churro. The bites with popcorn were fantastic, but any bite without it seemed overwhelming with all the caramel liberally added on top. We wish there was even more popcorn on it, but alas, it’s still a good treat, especially for anyone who really likes caramel. Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream At Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream, you’ll find Holiday Confetti Cake with Häagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark Ice Cream, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and sprinkles for $6.99. Holiday Confetti Cake Menu sign This treat sounds delicious, but did it live up to its list of ingredients? We found out! Holiday Confetti Cake The cake was fairly dry and a pretty basic cake. There was hardly any chocolate drizzle, so the flavor wasn’t really there. The whipped cream was good, but it definitely turned our mouth blue. However, the peppermint ice cream was the star of the show. It has a VERY strong, minty flavor. If you drink orange juice and then eat this ice cream, you’re in for a rough time. It is that strong of a mint flavor. Holiday Confetti Cake with Häagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark Ice Cream Honestly, there are better options around the festival, so we would suggest trying something else unless you absolutely love peppermint. Corn Dog Castle At Corn Dog Castle, you’ll find the Stuffing Corn Dog for $13.29! Holiday Stuffing Corn Dog The Holiday Stuffing Corn Dog is dipped in seasoned corn batter, fried to a golden brown, and topped with cranberry-mustard sauce. It was really, really good. The breading was perfectly done, and the stuffing inside was really flavorful. The hot dog is still the star, but the stuffing compliments it really well. We surprisingly enjoyed the cranberry sauce on top. They put the right amount on top, and it tasted natural with the stuffing and hot dog. It had a really nice tanginess, which we enjoyed. Holiday Stuffing Corn Dog Overall, we would recommend stopping by to grab this festive corn dog! Smokejumpers Grill For some loaded fries, head over to Smokejumpers Grill! You’ll find Hearty Loaded Fries and a Santa Hat Shake. Smokejumpers full spread First up, the Hearty Loaded Fries! The fries are crinkle-cut fries smothered with sausage country gravy and topped with fried chicken, shredded cheese, and green onions. You can grab them for $8.99. Hearty Loaded Fries These loaded fries were on point! The gravy lived up to the name of the fries and had a hearty flavor. It was like having fries soaked in au jus, flavor-wise. The chicken was just chicken strips cut on top, but the cheese went well with the chicken and gravy. This is a tasty comfort food that is certainly worth the price! It was a comforting, hearty meal! The Santa Hat Shake will cost you $9.29 and is a peppermint shake in a marshmallow and coconut-rimmed cup topped with whipped cream and marshmallows. It certainly looks festive! Santa Hat Shake However, the flavor was lacking in the festivities. The peppermint flavor was really light; it simply just tasted like a vanilla shake. The marshmallow and coconut rim didn’t add to the flavor at all since you’re generally going to drink out of a straw, but the rim was certainly messy. We would opt to just grab the vanilla shake here since it was basically a vanilla shake anyway, and the vanilla shake is cheaper. OVERALL There are lots of great options at this festival!
