Written by the Experience Kissimmee Editorial Team
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And here in Kissimmee, it’s time for friends, family, and, most importantly, treats! If you’ve got a sweet tooth, a savory spot, or love snacks a lot, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got something for everybody, and, of course, we’re more than happy to share. Here are a few of the best treats you can find at theme parks and other places in Kissimmee this holiday season.
Build the Gingerbread House of Your Dreams
They say you shouldn’t play with your food, but we say play away — especially if you’re building a gingerbread house at Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center. As part of Christmas at Gaylord Palms, the Gingerbread Decorating Corner is back! This is the perfect opportunity to let everybody in on holiday creativity while building your very own piece of confection perfection. Best of all? If you work up an appetite while building your delicious dream house, you can have a little snack. And when you’re done, be sure to say hello to Nutmeg, Gaylord Palms’ very own gingerbread man.

Stroll and Savor at EPCOT®
This year, the EPCOT® International Festival of the Holidays is tastier than ever! As part of this seasonal soiree, you can sample snacks from around the world on the Holiday Cookie Stroll. Grab your Festival Passport and pack your appetite as you walk the World Showcase in search of tasty cookies, sweets, and treats. Each stop offers a special decadent dessert just in time for the holidays. And, if you’re ready to sweeten the deal, present your Festival Passport with stamps from each of the locations for a special bonus cookie. If you ask us, the only thing better than a cookie is a complimentary cookie!

Things Are Getting Magical (and Delicious) at Disney’s Magic Kingdom® Park
Disney’s Magic Kingdom® Park is known for going all out during the holidays! The park will serve special treats that will put smiles on everyone’s faces. For starters, is it really a Disney trip during the holidays without stopping by Main Street Bakery for an iconic Mickey Cinnamon Roll with red and green icing? Yum!
Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine
Minnie Mouse always cooks something special at Hollywood & Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This season, she has a merry mealtime prepared for Minnie’s Holiday Dine. This dazzling dinner party is the only character meal that is fully themed for the holidays. You’ll see Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, and Goofy — all dressed in their holiday best. And if that’s not enough of a holiday treat, remember, your meal comes with your choice of dessert. Sounds like a holiday meal to remember!
Joy to the SeaWorld
SeaWorld® Orlando is definitely making a holiday splash! During their SeaWorld® Christmas Celebration there will be treats on hand for folks of all ages to sample and savor. Make your way through the park, and you’ll find bison burgers, clam chowder, empanadas, seasonal mac and cheese, specialty beignets, fresh-baked deep-dish cookies, and artisan cheesecakes.
There are also drinks for everyone, like Mistletoe margaritas, gingerbread martinis, winter wonderland hot toddies, and seasonal holiday ciders.
Still, trying to figure out where to begin? SeaWorld makes it easy with their Christmas Celebration Tasting and Brew Sampler. This add-on allows you to taste-test any combination of SeaWorld’s Food & Brew Samples. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
