Visit Maria and Enzo's for a Santa-themed luncheon. This restaurant prepares a family-style meal, a mimosa for adults, and take-home sweets for children, all of which are included in the fee. After the supper concludes, you can personally share your Christmas list with Kris Kringle.

For those in a hurry and present at Disney Springs, Earl of Sandwich provides a heated turkey sandwich for the holiday for a mere $8.99. Mayonnaise, turkey, cornbread stuffing, and turkey gravy are all included. The most significant aspect is that Earl of Sandwich is a quick-service establishment, so reservations are not required.

Lefou's Brew at Gaston's Tavern Magic Kingdom

Although one might desire a Butterbeer instead, they must be in the correct place. However, this Beauty & The Beast-themed snack bar offers a satisfactory substitute: a frozen, delightfully sour apple concoction flavored with toasted marshmallow syrup and topped with an all-natural passion fruit foam.

Santa-Worthy Magic Kingdom Treats

This season, themed dining is available at each Disney attraction, particularly in the Magic Kingdom. A Santa Mickey caramel apple or the famed peppermint bark that is only available throughout the holiday season are also delicious options for a snack. Nevertheless, it would help if you also detoured at Main Street Confectionery, which has a specialized popcorn station called the Kernel Kitchen tucked away in the store's back corner.

Your popcorn can be sweet or savory; you can personalize it with dozens of different topping combos. Thus, presented as a Christmas treat, Holiday Peppermint Popcorn is a delicacy that consists of peppermint-flavored candy popcorn that is covered with M&Ms, crushed peppermint candies, and micro marshmallows and then topped with a drizzle of dark chocolate and white chocolate.

International Delights at EPCOT

Although the food festivals at EPCOT have always been of high quality, the culinary staff has taken the seasonal offerings to a whole new level for the past year. "holiday kitchens" crop up all over the park during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Many of these kitchens depict seasonal foods from a variety of nations.

One could exhaust an entire day strolling through the park and sampling cuisine without sampling everything. You cannot go wrong with almost any of the offerings.

You should try some delicious dishes, such as the plant-based chorizo and cotija tamale from Nochebuena Cocina and the smoked salmon potato latke from L'Chaim! Holiday Kitchen, the beef bourguignon from Yukon Holiday Kitchen, and the red velvet mini bundt cake with cream cheese icing from Holiday Heart Desserts.

The Holiday Adventure Menu at Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar

Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar, the restaurant in Disney Springs with an Indiana Jones motif, offers a novel holiday menu that deviates from the prevailing sugary offerings at Walt Disney World. "Naughty or Nice Deviled Eggs," "Here We Come A-Croquetting," and "O'Ham N' Cheese Trees" are just a few of the seasonal dishes that are available on their extensive holiday menus.

A pepperjack star is placed on these Christmas tree-shaped appetizers, created with puff pastry and packed with pit ham, cheddar, and garlic herb butter. In addition, sugar plum jam is served alongside the pepperjack star. The most impressive aspect is that they are packaged in a glass dome filled with rosemary smoke. This creates a theatrical presentation and provides the "trees" with a nice infusion of herbs.
