8 reasons to visit the Disneyland Resort during the Holidays!
6) Holiday Treats
Disneyland Resort is known for some of the cutest treats on Earth anyway, but you add a holiday into the mix and all of a sudden it is delicious cuteness overload. Disney’s caramel apples are always the best. These snowflake Mickey caramel apples are big enough to split and only available during the holidays!
The kids each enjoyed one holiday treat of their choosing on our first day – can you guess the theme?
Marshmallow Olaf on a stick was deceptively rich. My boy really enjoys sweet treats – and while this was fairly small he couldn’t finish it. I would suggest having two kids share this treat.
Little Miss C enjoyed a snowflake Frozen inspired cookie. She almost always chooses a cookie as her Disneyland treat – and this one reminded her of Elsa.
J enjoyed an Olaf sugar cookie. I believe you can get all of these Frozen inspired treats throughout the year, they technically are not holiday themed but since they were winter themed and they are crazy for Frozen we wanted them to get what they most wanted. #FrozenfortheWin
Cake pops at Disneyland are seriously so so good – and all these little Olaf’s lined up in a row – I can’t handle the cute.
Below is one of my personal favorite newest additions to Disneyland………….
It’s soup you guys.
I know what you are thinking “Kate, they had soup before at Disneyland, this is not news.” Yes, they had soup but they now serve it in a souvenir cup! WHAT?! I know. OK, so I am not normally big on souvenir food and beverage items (should I admit that?). But this is totally something I got excited about. One – I love drinking soup out of cup. Second – I hope we can go back on a day that it is just a little bit chilly and we can drink our soup in a cup on the curb as we wait for the Christmas Fantasy Parade. I think this is such a great item for while you are in the park and also a fun little thing to bring home. While I might not reuse a soda sipper cup, we use these soup souvenir cups to pack warm food for the kids school lunches. They have reported back that it does keep the food warm until lunch time- nice!
Baymax Souvenir Sippers are kind of a phenomenon at Disneyland Resort right now. As I stated, I am not personally into a souvenir cup – but this one stole my heart. We didn’t get one this trip, but it might happen the next time. Unlike the traditional ‘picture of a cool character on a fancy cup’ souvenir sipper, this sipper is shaped like Baymax. Baymax has a removable straw in his back as well as a removable base. You can use the base to display his adorableness or remove it as a toy. It’s just justifiable on so many levels….. as I write this I am having some serious regrets about not bringing one home.
Kate, that is a Dole Whip, that isn’t a holiday time treat. Whatever, I ate it a couple days before Thanksgiving and Instagram was all “we totally like this picture.” I just thought it was fun to point out that Christmas time in SoCal is often still lovely warm weather where it is totally appropriate to choose ice cream for your holiday treat!
