Full Menus for 2026 Disney Jollywood Nights Christmas Party

Walt Disney World has shared full menus of the dishes, drinks & desserts during the 2026 Jollywood Nights Christmas Party at Hollywood Studios. This guide offers a full list and food photos of the snacks and other special items available for purchase during this hard ticket event, followed by ‘constructive’ commentary at the end.

As a reminder, Disney Jollywood Nights (DJN) is “counter-programming” of sorts for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom (MVMCP). Now in its fourth year, this special hard ticket event returns on select nights from November 7, 2026, to January 5, 2027.

Before we get going, just a quick heads up that nights are already selling out for the Christmas parties at Walt Disney World. Only the first date is sold out for Jollywood Nights, but most MVMCP dates are gone. Only two dates remain in November, and the beginning and end of December are both sold out, as well.

If only Jollywood Nights tickets are available during your travel dates, we’d recommend giving it a chance. While we do not think Jollywood Nights is the better of the two Christmas parties for first-timers, it has an ‘upstart’ quality and Walt Disney World is still working to improve the event. By contrast, MVMCP is an excellent and iconic event for good reason, but arguably has gotten slightly stale from the perspective of repeat visitors.

A few weeks ago, Walt Disney World announced the new additions to the 2026 Jollywood Nights Christmas Party. This includes the Checkin’ It Twice Lounge in Animation Courtyard, which promises a ‘stylish hideaway’ (see below for the full menu). Another addition is George Sanderson and Needleman from Monsters, Inc. appearing for the first time during the event. Then there’s some awesome merchandise featuring Santa Duffy and Dinosaur Gertie.

Finally, the “Glisten!” ice skating show is adding Disney characters. As world-class skaters glide across the rink in front of the Chinese Theater, keep an eye out for appearances from Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Genie, adding even more Disney character moments to the sparkling production. What’s unclear is whether the Ducks and Genie will actually ice skate, which would be wow-worthy, or just dance around in front of the stage, which would not.

Although not party-exclusive, Walt Disney World also announced two ride overlays at Hollywood Studios, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets: Obligatory Holiday Overlay and Alien Swirling Saucers: Lilypad’s Christmas Jams.

We recommend Jollywood Nights even if you’re visiting in early 2027, when there are no Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party dates scheduled, but crowds are likely to be elevated. You can always treat Jollywood Nights like a standard After Hours event, ignoring the holiday entertainment if you’re “over” Christmas once the New Year arrives.

In case you’d rather learn about the 2026 Disney Jollywood Nights food in video form, Walt Disney World has also released this showcasing the full house of dishes, drinks, and desserts at DJN:

The 2026 Disney Jollywood Nights features a sparkling lineup of new and returning eats and drinks fit for the nice list. Start your night off with the all-new Yuletide Ham Popover and the returning Birria Taco. Sip on dazzling drinks such as The Bauble & Bright and returning favorites like the Caramel-Apple Cider. Dreaming of something sweet? Enjoy the all-new A TWIX on a Classic Pie and Partysaurus Rex Brookie.

As usual, the food & beverages for Disney Jollywood Nights look good. There’s an overwhelming number of options, especially for a special event. Most attendees are only going once, and will only scratch the surface of these options.

Honestly, I don’t have any strong recommendations; I do not spend a lot of time dining and drinking at hard ticket events. Time is money at these Christmas parties, and there’s more than enough entertainment and characters to fill an evening.

The first year, I had fantastic food at the Brown Derby, where everything was fantastic. My favorite was the sliders–highly recommended. The downside of Brown Derby is that it’s time-consuming, so perhaps not the optimal option if you want to see and do as much in a single evening.

Since then, I’ve opted for lower stakes but fuller meals at one of the counter service restaurants towards the tail end of mix-in. Nothing I’ve had was particularly memorable or noteworthy. I haven’t done the Backlot Express yet, so even though most of that menu isn’t brand-new for 2026, it’s still new to me.

Ultimately, that’s our advice–to eat a full meal during mix-in before the 2026 Jollywood Nights officially starts. Not all of the locations will be open, and Walt Disney World hasn’t yet made clear which (if any) will be with the exclusive menus. Backlot Express and ABC Commissary should be safe bets, but you might want to check Mobile Order or the restaurants themselves on your event date.

After that, you can grab a few drinks, dishes, or desserts throughout the night as time and your appetite allow, but you won’t need to make dining an emphasis of the event.
