The BEST Food and Drinks at Disney Jollywood Nights Holiday Party – Disney’s Hollywood Studios

We're so excited for the return of Disney's Jollywood Nights: A Magical Holiday Date Night in Orlando! We attended Disney Jollywood Nights last year, and one of the key highlights is the food and drink offerings.

This Christmas party at Disney's Hollywood Studios is a glitzy celebration of the holidays, perfect for a festive Disney date night. Disney Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed event from 7:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. on select nights November 8 to December 22, 2025.

The 2025 menu for Jollywood Nights is quite extensive. We've got some picks for the best food at Disney Jollywood Nights. This after-hours party is worth raising a glass or two.

BEST Food and Drinks at Disney Jollywood Nights

Before we dive into some of the menu highlights, here are the bites and sips we enjoyed on opening night last year that have returned for 2025.

Top picks

• Holiday Turkey Popover: Roasted turkey and creamy mashed potatoes topped with gravy, cranberry chutney, and chives in a house-made popover.
• ‘Just the Sides' Popover: Macaroni & cheese and savory collard greens with ham, topped with cornbread crumbs in a house-made popover.
• Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls: Fried spring rolls served with a jalapeño-ranch dipping sauce and fried rice noodles
• Christmas Gertie Cookie: Sugar cookie with mint icing
• Sugar Cookie Martini: Stoli Vanil Vodka, Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur, and DISARONNO Originale Liqueur mixed with milk and sugar in a sprinkle-rimmed glass with a sugar cookie garnish

The Holiday Turkey Popover is one of the best food items at Disney Jollywood Nights. It hits the spot if you're looking for those traditional holiday flavors. The Sides Popover is slightly less impressive, but still a solid choice, especially if you enjoy Collard Greens.

You can find these at Fairfax Faire on Sunset Blvd. The line can get long, but thankfully, there is periodic entertainment of Sunset Seasons Greetings. Tables are hard to come by in this area, so perhaps send someone from your party to scout and secure a table.

Over at the Market, near Toy Story Land are the Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls. These bites had the perfect flaky, thin, and crispy outshell. The Buffalo Chicken filling certainly had that spicy tang you'd expect, and the ranch dipping sauce made for a nice cool down.

Finally, the Christmas Gertie Cookie is the most adorable dessert, but is not overly sweet or heavy. This adorable sugar cookie is topped with mint frosting which is subtle and sweet.

The Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake at ABC Commissary is another great dessert.

From Latin-inspired celebrations to smooth jazz joints and swinging soirées, plus casual quick bites.

Important note – To experience the festive fun of Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby, you can request to join the walk-up waitlist on the My Disney Experience app. This must be done at 8:15pm, and you must be standing at or very close to the restaurant. Based on opening night impressions, do not feel bad if this experience does not work out. The food is good, and the atmosphere is nice. However, the entertainment is a live piano player, playing Disney and jazz songs. It is a nice touch, but not something overly impressive.

Overall we loved our experience at Disney Jollywood Nights. For a Disney date night, it is absolutely a highlight of the Holidays at Walt Disney World.
