Celebrating New Year’s Eve at Disney can be FUN, y’all. But we know snagging those park reservations can be tricky over the holidays (or maybe you prefer to stay away from the crowds — we get it!)
France is so pretty at night!
If you’ll be ringing in the new year at home, why not bring a taste of Disney to your party this year? We’ve got the scoop on how to make some of Disney’s popular cocktails right in your own home! Follow along for the recipes!
1. Winter Wonderland Spiked Mocha
First up is a drink fit for the season — and all of this cold weather we’ve been getting! This Winter Wonderland Spiked Mocha shared by Joffrey’s Coffee might just be the drink for you!

For this drink, you’ll need a 16oz glass with ice and 2oz of Joffrey’s Winter Wonderland Blend. Mix in 1 1/2 oz Coconut Rum, 3/4 oz white chocolate sauce, 1/2 Monin Almond Syrup, and 1 1/2 oz milk — and then top it off with whipped cream! Sounds delicious!
2. Krakatoa Punch From Disney World’s Trader Sams!

Then, mix it all in a shaker and strain it over ice! If you have a glow cube, you can really emulate the lava look like they do at Trader Sam’s!
