Disney World Christmas treats you can try without a party ticket
You don’t need a theme park ticket to try Walt Disney World’s 2026 Christmas treats. This guide highlights holiday sweets available at Disney Springs and select Disney resort hotel shops, including new caramel apples, festive cupcakes, and a Mickey gingerbread marshmallow pop.

Walt Disney World released its 2026 holiday foodie guide on Oct. 26, and every item on it is sold during regular operating hours. You will not need a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or Disney Jollywood Nights ticket for any of it, and the biggest share of the menu sits at Disney Springs, where there is no admission charge.
Most Disney Springs offerings start Nov. 10, which seems like a good date to circle on your calendar as the potential start date of other holiday festivities at Disney Springs.

Holiday sweets at Walt Disney World Resort hotels and shops
Two resort area shops made Disney’s list: Bayview Gifts at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Screen Door General Store on Disney’s BoardWalk. Between them, you can find the new Minnie Reindeer and Santa Mickey caramel apples, the new Mickey and Minnie holiday cupcakes, the new Mickey Gingerbread Marshmallow Pop, the Large Mickey Gingerbread Cookie, and the Peppermint Brownie Pie. Walt Disney World did not list start dates for these shop treats.
If you plan to combine a candy run with a resort decorations tour, getting there has changed this year.
Since June 28, buses from Disney Springs to the resorts are limited to hotel guests and visitors with a dining or experience reservation, so we laid out monorail, boat, and Skyliner routes instead in our guide to visiting Disney World hotels for Christmas decorations in 2026.
