So join us for some pre-Flurry Food Fun as we go all over Hollywood Studios for some SEASON’S EATINGS!!

We’re starting our yuletide tour with…

Would you just take a look at THIS?

HOW CUTE is the Christmas Tree Red Velvet Holiday Whoopie Pie at Sweet Spells and Fairfax Fare?

The tradition in the Red Velvet Holiday Whoopie Pie is more a nod to the season’s traditions, as opposed to the shape of a traditional Whoopie Pie. For that reason, the emphasis is on the red velvet cake over the cream (though you’ll find some tucked into the layers!). But the generous dusting of sugar snow, icing garland, and sprinkle ornaments provide that extra sweetness that would typically come from the cream.

So it’s as yummy as it is downright adorable!

Popcorn with Pluto 

Speaking of ADORABLE…

Oh. My. GOODNESS! I don’t even collect Popcorn Buckets, but this Holiday Pluto Popcorn Bucket might be the one that breaks my resolve!

I can only imagine what you collectors must think of this one! I mean… the Christmas sweater. The ribbon-bedecked dog bone. The Santa Cap. The dog bone carrier strap. The perfect popcorn pocket!

And at $13.50? C’MON, Pluto’s a total steal!!

Popcorn Stands are also carrying the Festive Holiday Popcorn mix packed with pretzels, M&Ms, and marshmallows drizzled with chocolate sauce.

Yep, SAUCE — not, like, the chocolate shell style. So, it’s a bit of a mess (grab a fork for your popcorn! ;) ). Still, it’s salty, sweet, buttery, crunchy, and chocolately… it’s all in here!

You’ll find the returning Gingerbread Pop all over the park as well.

Seasonal Cupcakes

The Prep and Landing Gingerbread Cupcake is popping up at Counter Service spots including ABC CommissaryRosie’s All-American CafeCatalina Eddie’sSweet Spells, and The Trolley Car Cafe for $5.99 (or a snack credit on the Disney Dining Plan).

The Gingerbread Cupcake that we have loved at the Studios over the years has received quite a makeover! For starters, there is the addition of a white chocolate Lanny and Wayne — in honor of the return of the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Holiday Nighttime Spectacular featuring the Prep and Landing elves —  along with the gingerbread man and candy cane toppers (those candy-style ones we knew and loved as kids!).  Plus, the cake has a decidedly lighter hue this year.

But flavor-wise, it’s still packed with seasonal spices and topped with a thick layer of delicious cream cheese frosting. It remains the perfect cupcake for the season, and with all the changes coming to Hollywood Studios, it’s nice to know that some things remain the same.

Not into gingerbread? You might want to try the Olaf Cupcake!

Also found at Counter Service spots all over the park, he’s your basic chocolate, but the coarse sugar delivers a nice bit of crunch over the wintery blue icing.

This, of course, isn’t the last you’ll see of everyone’s favorite snowman.

The Season’s Sips

Fairfax Fare is one of two places — the other being  Min & Bill’s Dockside Diner — where adult guests can make SPIRITS bright with Hot Chocolate Cocktails.

Choose the Hot Chocolate MartiniBailey’s Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa, or Black Cherry Bourbon Hot Chocolate.

Or grab all three with the Hot Chocolate Flight! (I love how they don’t skimp on the whipped cream for these minis, by the way!)

The Hot Chocolate Martini is suuuuper smooth… loved it!

The same came be said of the Bailey’s Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, with the additional salt really amping up that sweet-meets-salty blend.

The bourbon comes through nice and strong in the Black Cherry Bourbon Hot Chocolate. It’s packs some punch!

(Pardon me while I write a little “Note to Self”: get a full size of that Black Cherry Bourbon next trip. ;) )

And, of course, the Classic Hot Cocoa with marshmallows and whipped cream is available for all ages at ABC CommissaryBacklot ExpressPizzeRizzoRosie’s All-American CafeCatalina Eddie’sFairfax Fare, and Min & Bill’s Dockside Diner.

Now, remember… you can still catch days with temps in the 80s around here, so you may find yourself craving something cooler than cocoa.

"Let It Glow" on the Menu

The “Let It Glow” at Anaheim Produce is your regular Blue Raspberry frozen carbonated beverage, but with a few extra touches.

Namely, Svedka Vodka and a glow cube!

This will be especially fun to sip during the new Sunset Season’s Greetings evening activities, with that glow cube submerged in the liquid underneath the frozen portion of the beverage.

You can also find the Let It Glow around Echo Lake at spots like Peevy’s Polar Pipeline. Other cocktail offerings include the Winterberry Cooler, which is Vodka and Chambord with cranberry.

The tart offering with the cranberry offers a nice option in contrast to the other drinks with their strong emphasis on sweetness.

Look for a Peppermint White Russian as well, often available with the souvenir Olaf Sipper!

What a great surprise! The Cobbler came out piping hot, and rich with cranberries, apple chunks, and lots of flavor.

She’s got more than her standard soft-serve menu for you, with the Olaf Pop.

This portable trifle is made with toasted marshmallow, carrot cake, and cream cheese filling.

But Olaf still comes out on top with another tasty treat!

Remember last year’s Stollen Bites for Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!?

Sugar Frosted Fruit Bites

This year, you’ll find them under the name of Sugar Frosted Fruit Bites at the Pretzel Carts.
