The Holiday Cookie Stroll is BACK at the 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
Get ready Disney friends, sweet seekers, and cookie fans! The Holiday Cookie Stroll is BACK at the 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays…and it is as tasty as ever,
What better way to explore all of EPCOT than with a trail of festive cookies and sweet treats?
And good news, MickeyBlog friends! Our reporting team has photos, first looks, and reviews of the cookies at this year’s stroll.
Are you ready for tasty fun? Let’s go check it out.
Holiday Cookie Stroll
You can find info on the Holiday Cookie Stroll in your Festival Passport or on some signs located around EPCOT. Here’s a look at all of the cookies included in this year’s stroll:
All you have to do is try any 5 cookies and get the stamps in your Passport. Once you collect all of your stamps, then you can bring your Passport to Holiday Sweets & Treats to receive a specialty cookie!
Delicious Cookies and Treats
Sounds good, right? Well, keep reading to read all our reviews of the cookies we tried on this quest!
Gingerbread Cookie
We’ll start off with the most Christmassy classic — the Gingerbread Cookie!
This cookie is up there with the epitome of holiday flavors, being a classic gingerbread person, complete with a frosted smile and buttons.
According to our reporters, this happy cookie chappie was everything you’d want a gingerbread person to be. However, they did let us know that there seemed to be quite a kick of nutmeg going on here. So, if you’re not a fan of that particular spice, this may be a cookie to miss!
The gingerbread cookie can be picked up at the American Holiday Kitchen booth this year.
Spiced Chocolate Cookie
The next cookie from the stroll is another spicy one — let’s go check it out!
Purchased from the Nochebune Cocina booth, this cookie looks and smells like a chocolatey, spicy, sensation. To our reporters, it was very reminiscent of a classic crinkle cookie, yet topped with a fun cinnamon-Horchata-style glaze.
It was chewy, it was sweet, and it is certainly one we’d recommend and order again!
Snickerdoodle Cookie
Staying with the chocolate theme, this next cookie is another classic. The Snickerdoodle!
Made with Snickers pieces, this cookie had it all. Chocolate? Check. Nuts? Check!
This treat came from over at the Yukon Holiday Kitchen booth, which you can discover more about in our full review here.
Linzer Cookie
Next up is a great cookie to share — the Linzer!
Purchased from Bavaria Holiday Kitchen, this tasty treat consists of two solid cookies, sandwiched together with jam and dusted with delicate icing sugar.
A classic, can’t-go-wrong favorite in our eyes!
Peppermint Pinwheel
From Holiday Hearth Desserts we found the most colorful cookie from the stroll – this peppermint pinwheel!
A simple, peppermint-flavored sugar cookie crafted in a fun spiral shape, this one was certainly one of the most photogenic cookies on the stroll. With sprinkles rolled around the outside, there was a fun crunch to this one, however, the peppermint was very strong according to our reporting team!
So, if peppermint is your preferred holiday flavor, this would be the cookie for you!
A Cookie Mission Completed
Now that we’ve tried our five cookies (and gotten our five passport stamps to go with them,) we’re able to go and claim our cookie prize!
We showed our passport to the Cast Members over here at Holiday Sweets and Treats, and they gave us our prize.

Look how cute!
The prize was a two-part treat, and we couldn’t love it more! First of all, we got this delicious and refreshing chocolate soft-serve, topped with lashings of whipped cream and peppermint candies.
This came served in a sweet, keepsake glass, depicting the “2023 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays” logo, and the “Holiday Cookie Stroll” completion too!
The “Star” of the show, however, was this year’s completion cookie prize. Look, it’s only Star from Wish!
The cutest icon from this season’s most talked-about movie, Star is a cookie that’s sure to make you smile. Doesn’t it take the sweetest photos?
According to our reporters, Star was also a delicious treat, being a simple sugar cookie with a layer of fondant. The ratio between these was good, and that sweet smile on top definitely made us feel festive!
Even More Cookies
So, while that was the round-up of the cookies we tried on this year’s stroll, it’s important to note that there are even more cookies that can be sampled as part of this experience, too.
These include:
- Black and White Cookie from L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen
- Jingle Sugar Cookie made with M&M’S from Sunshine Season
- Holiday Sugar Cookie from Connections Café
