Walt Disney World is adding a peppermint twist to Animal Kingdom’s Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich for the 2026 holiday season.
The new Peppermint-Chocolate Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich will be sold at Santa’s Holiday Grove near Theater in the Wild from November 13, 2026, through January 3, 2027. It layers double-chocolate peppermint cookie dough, vanilla ice cream and fudgy brownie, with mini chocolate chips, sea salt and candy cane pieces, according to Disney Tourist Blog.
Visitors should note that it is not available at Terra Treats, the Animal Kingdom snack stand where the original Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich debuted earlier in 2026. Terra Treats is offering a separate Festive Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich through January 3, 2027; that version uses cookie dough with holiday sprinkles, vanilla ice cream and brownie.
Santa’s Holiday Grove is a new holiday-season area at Animal Kingdom. Disney Tourist Blog reports that the walkthrough will use the former Rivers of Light seating area, along with space toward Discovery Island and the side entrance to Tropical Americas. It is expected to include intermittent snow flurries and appearances by Santa.
