Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has returned to Magic Kingdom with party-exclusive food and beverages, including a handful of new desserts and Coca-Cola-based drinks. WDWNT reviewed six of the offerings from the first party night and found its strongest picks in the hazelnut dessert, a peppermint cola slushy and gingerbread cheesecake beignets.
At Main Street Bakery, the $6.49 Winter Wonderland Express combines hazelnut mousse and feuilletine with panna cotta. WDWNT likened the single-serve dessert to a Bûche de Noël, praising the contrast between its crisp, slightly bitter feuilletine base and the sweeter mousse and panna cotta. It received a 6 out of 7 rating.
The $6.49 Minnie Cocoa Cake at Casey’s Corner also earned a positive review. The treat has chocolate mousse, marshmallow filling, chocolate cake and chocolate décor. WDWNT said the mousse, filling and cake worked well together, though its gingerbread-cookie base was somewhat dry. It was rated 5 out of 7.
For a drink, the $6.99 Peppermint Bark Cola Slushy at Astrofizz was another 6 out of 7 selection. Made with frozen Coca-Cola, a chocolate-peppermint swirl, sweet cream and chocolate curls, it was described as creamy, with peppermint present but not overpowering. The cola flavor was subtle.
Golden Oak Outpost’s $8.79 Gingerbread Cheesecake Beignets earned a 5 out of 7. The beignets come with powdered sugar, sprinkles and gingerbread cheesecake icing. WDWNT called them fluffy and flavorful, while noting that the icing and powdered sugar make the dish messy to eat.
Two items received lower marks. The $5.99 Cookie Butter Coca-Cola at The Friar’s Nook, topped with cookie butter cold foam, sprinkles and sugar-cookie pieces, was rated 3 out of 7; the review found its cookie texture and mix of toppings unappealing. Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café offers the $7.99 Mickey the Elf, a vanilla-mousse dessert with a sugar cookie and chocolate ears. It also received a 3 out of 7, with WDWNT describing it as photogenic but disappointing in taste and texture.
These food and beverage items are exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the separately ticketed holiday event at Magic Kingdom. Guests planning a party visit can weigh the limited-time menu alongside Walt Disney World ticket planning.
