First launched in 2023, Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has become one of Disney World’s most popular Holiday events, and the 2026 event begins TONIGHT!

This after-hours event features Christmas decor, characters in their Holiday best (including Chewbacca celebrating Life Day!), entertainment offerings, access to some of your favorite rides with wildly low waits, and, of course, exclusive snacks you can’t get anywhere else! We’re at the party right now, trying all the new snacks to help you decide what’s worth your time and money, and what you may want to skip this year.

Market

First up was the Partysaurus Rex Brookie for $5.79, which is a chocolate chip cookie brownie topped with white chocolate ganache, rainbow sprinkles, and a sugar cookie.

The outside had a crispy brownie edge look, but it didn’t have any crunch; the whole brookie was very smooth, tender, and moist. The sugar cookie on top added a nice crunch that helped the soft texture. The white chocolate ganache was decadent and tasted very high-quality for the price. It’s also a large portion size for the price and easily shareable.

We also grabbed the Bing Bong Candy Lemonade, which is returning this year. It’ll cost you $6.79 and is a frozen strawberry lemonade slushy and butterfly pea flower tea topped with pink cotton candy and freeze-dried candy.

The strawberry lemonade is frozen, but it tastes very fresh with an even mix of sweet and sour flavors. The cotton candy is a little tough and thick, but it blends into the drink really well, creating a really fun, exciting, and unique flavor. We couldn’t taste the butterfly pea flower tea, but it was still very light and refreshing.

The Teriyaki Chicken Pot Stickers will cost you $6.49 and are served with sweet chili aïoli.

These pot stickers had a very crispy outside, but not a lot of filling inside. The filling is slightly sweet with a mushy texture. The sweet chili aioli was more sweet than spicy, and surprisingly very creamy. The aioli didn’t taste good with the potstickers, but without it, they’re kind of dry.

Hollywood Scoops

Our first item here was the Kermit Chocolate-Pistachio Sundae for $9.79, which is chocolate cake, pistachio gelato, green cookie crumbs, kataifi, and fudge sauce topped with whipped cream, M&M’s Milk Chocolate Candies, and sprinkles.

The most prominent flavor in this sundae is chocolate, with tons of chocolate cookie and cake crumbs, and combined with the whipped cream on top, it tasted like a cookies-and-cream sundae. The pistachio gelato is very faint and added a barely-there nutty flavor.

We also grabbed the Miss Piggy Strawberry Sundae again, which is returning this year. It’ll cost you $9.79, and it’s strawberry shortcake, strawberry compote, strawberry ice cream, and strawberry juice-filled pearls topped with whipped cream, crispy pearls, and sprinkles.

This sundae was heavy on the strawberry, with fresh strawberry ice cream with strawberry pieces throughout. The cheesecake has a light, airy consistency with a sweet, slightly tangy flavor. The little crispy pearls have a strong vanilla flavor, so combined with the cheesecake, it resembles cake. The popping pearls had a subtle strawberry flavor, but since they were buried at the bottom, they were only in the last few bites and hard to reach.

Backlot Express

The Blitzen Banana Bread Pudding is $5.49 and is Banana bread pudding with banana-rum caramel and sprinkles.

The banana bread was hearty and filling, but unfortunately, the banana flavor wasn’t very prominent. The caramel didn’t have much flavor, either. It tasted very bready, and that’s it.

The Seas and Greetings Colada is also available here and will cost you $9.50. This is made with Stoli Vanilla Vodka, Bols Blue Curaçao Liqueur, coconut cream, DOLE Pineapple Juice, and lime juice.

The Seas and Greetings Colada’s strongest flavor is the blue curaçao, followed by the warm Stoli Vanilla Vodka. This was tropical, fruity, and reminiscent of a Florida holiday.

Our last item at this location was the Frozen Hot Cocoa for $9.50, which is frozen hot cocoa by Joffrey’s with Bailey’s Original Irish Cream Liqueur topped with house-made marshmallow whipped cream.

This Frozen Hot Cocoa was creamy, cold, and chocolatey, with just a little bit of that cream liqueur aftertaste for an adult treat. It’s festive, warming, but still very cold.

Ice Cold Hydraulics

The Salted Caramel Mini Churros here will cost you $6.29, and are chocolate-filled mini churros with cinnamon sugar, salted caramel sauce, and sprinkles.

The churros have a crunchy exterior with an ultra-sweet salted caramel sauce on top and a cinnamon-sugar coating. The inside is filled with a gooey dark chocolate, making the center pretty mushy.

The Popcorn Crafted Soda is Popcorn-flavored oat milk over Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, topped with freshly popped popcorn. It’ll cost you $5.29.

The drink itself had zero popcorn taste. We couldn’t taste the popcorn flavor in the oat milk, and the Coke Zero was very prominent. The popcorn on top added some saltiness, but it got soggy very fast, so it’s not something you can snack on while drinking.

We also grabbed the Churro Crafted Soda for $5.29, which is Churro-flavored oat milk over Coca-Cola with gingerbread syrup, topped with a mini churro.

Again, we couldn’t taste any churro flavor in the churro oat milk, and the gingerbread syrup was incredibly faint. It tasted just like a Coca-Cola with milk and wasn’t anything special.

Snack Carts

Located at snack carts across the park, Annual Passholders can grab the Golden Gimlet for $9.50. This is Hendrick’s Gin, cranberry juice, limeade, and edible glitter topped with Sprite.

The Golden Gimlet is tart and not overly floral from the gin. The lime juice added brightness and paired well with the gin. It has some cranberry juice, but we wish it had more to really give it a holiday flavor. Still, it’s very refreshing.

Fairfax Faire

Here you can snag A TWIX on a Classic Pie for $5.99, which is TWIX cookie bar pieces, caramel mousse, and chocolate ganache on a shortbread cookie crust topped with whipped cream, holiday sprinkles, and a white chocolate gingerbread man.

Twix is the strongest flavor here, and it’s present in every bite. The chocolate is prominent, but it’s more of a rich dark chocolate flavor that isn’t overwhelmingly sweet. The caramel is subtle and not gooey or messy. The whipped cream is very stiff and structured. The crust layer adds a cookie crunch in most bites.

We also grabbed the Yuletide Ham Popover for $6.79, which is Honey-glazed ham and creamy mashed potatoes topped with gravy and cranberry chutney in a house-made popover.

The ham is thick and juicy, but it was very savory and lacking sweetness from the honey-glazed glaze. The popover tasted a little stale with a firm exterior. The mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth with a rich buttery flavor.

Checkin’ It Twice Lounge

Here we grabbed the Candy Cane Cooler! It’ll cost you $5.49 and is Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with mint syrup, pomegranate, and sweet cream topped with crushed peppermint.

This was very fruity, with pomegranate coming through right away, then the mint. The sweet cream adds a sweet, creamy note and soft consistency that enhances the fruity flavors. The lemonade is present, but there wasn’t enough to add any tartness to the drink.

We also grabbed the Snow-hopper for $9.50, which is made with Bols Crème de Cacao White Liqueur, Bols Crème de Menthe Liqueur, and half & half with chocolate curls.

The mint is the most prominent flavor. The alcohol hits immediately, with a subtle white chocolate flavor from the liqueur and milk chocolate shavings on top. The texture was also thick and creamy.

Epic Eats

The Cookie Butter Croissant Beignets here will cost you $5.79 and are Croissant beignets filled with cookie butter cream, topped with powdered sugar.

These are super crispy, crunchy, well-fried beignets, and the croissant dough inside is light and airy. The filling is rich and tangy, and it’s full of cookie butter flavor. It looks like a small portion with only two beignets, but they’re rich enough that we wouldn’t be able to eat a third.

Baseline Tap House

The Macaroni & Cheese Croquettes have a new look this year! They’ll cost you $5.49 and are a blend of pepper jack, Gouda, and cheddar with spicy aïoli dipping sauce.

These croquettes have a crunchy outside with creamy, gooey, al dente mac ‘n’ cheese on the inside. The sauce was much spicier than we expected, so this wouldn’t be a great pick if you’re spice-averse. But if you like spice, it well complements the macaroni and cheese bites.

We also tried the Merry Mango Shandy for $13, which is Golden Road Brewing Mango Cart Wheat Ale with cranberry juice and Minute Maid Premium Lemonade.

The mango wasn’t very strong, but the lemonade and cranberry juice made it a light and refreshing drink. The lemon garnish added a little more acidity to the lemonade and ale, and all of the elements worked well together.
