The first new addition, Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow, is set to bring sweet innovation to holiday treats. True to its futuristic name, this Holiday Kitchen will serve up a creative selection of cookies with a distinctly EPCOT twist. Among the lineup is a unique Spaceship Earth gingerbread triangle decorating kit, allowing guests to personalize their very own cookie inspired by the park’s iconic geodesic sphere. It’s the perfect hands-on treat to enjoy with family and friends while wandering through the holiday festivities.
Just outside CommuniCore Hall, you’ll find Favorites of Festivals Past, a kitchen dedicated to beloved bites from past holiday festivals. While we’re still waiting on the full menu, this new addition promises to be a nostalgic celebration of seasonal flavors that guests have loved over the years.
But these new kitchens are only the beginning! EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is a one-stop holiday experience, inviting guests to enjoy sights, sounds, and tastes that celebrate traditions from all over the globe. Seasonal classics like the Candlelight Processional return, where celebrity narrators and a mass choir tell the story of Christmas with beautiful music and fanfare. Also back is JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season, blending Gospel, R&B, and holiday tunes to celebrate Christmas and Kwanzaa.
