Jollywood Nights Is Serving Holiday Glamour, a Kermit Sundae, and Absolutely No Self-Control
Updated: 2 days ago
Disney has revealed its 2026 Jollywood Nights food lineup, and between the festive cocktails, decadent desserts, and a certain green frog, our holiday eating plans have officially gone off the rails.
Some people go to Disney World for the attractions. Others go for the entertainment, the atmosphere, or that magical moment when the Hollywood Tower Hotel lights up against the night sky.
And then there are those of us who look at an entire evening of holiday festivities and immediately ask the most important question:
What's on the menu?
Well, Disney has answered.
The official 2026 Disney Jollywood Nights Foodie Guide has arrived, and Hollywood Studios is preparing to serve a collection of holiday treats that would make even the most disciplined among us abandon all reasonable nutritional goals.
There are elegant bites, festive drinks, towering desserts, and a Kermit the Frog sundae.
Yes. Kermit has a sundae.
And honestly, that's the kind of holiday news we're here for.
First, Let's Talk About Kermit and Miss Piggy
We knew Disney Jollywood Nights would bring some Muppet magic back to Hollywood Studios, but apparently Kermit and Miss Piggy have decided to extend their influence into the dessert department.
And we're absolutely on board.
The new Kermit Chocolate-Pistachio Sundae combines chocolate cake, pistachio gelato, green cookie crumbs, kataifi, and fudge sauce.
It's green. It's chocolatey. It's a little sophisticated.
Very Kermit, if Kermit had suddenly developed expensive dessert preferences.
You'll find it at Hollywood Scoops on Sunset Boulevard.
Not to be outdone, Miss Piggy is returning with her own Strawberry Sundae, featuring strawberry shortcake, strawberry compote, strawberry ice cream, strawberry juice-filled pearls, whipped cream, and sprinkles.
Naturally, Miss Piggy's dessert comes with plenty of flair.
Both are served in souvenir cups while supplies last.
Now, we aren't suggesting that you need to order both.
We're simply pointing out that choosing between Kermit and Miss Piggy seems like an unnecessary source of holiday stress.
A TWIX on a Classic Pie? Yes, Please.
Over at Fairfax Fare on Sunset Boulevard, Disney is introducing a dessert called A TWIX on a Classic Pie.
And the name alone deserves a round of applause.
This new treat features TWIX cookie bar pieces, caramel mousse, and chocolate ganache layered over a shortbread cookie crust, finished with whipped cream, holiday sprinkles, and a white chocolate gingerbread man.
In other words, someone looked at a TWIX bar and decided it needed to attend a holiday party in formalwear.
We support this decision.
If you're a chocolate-and-caramel person, this might be one of the most tempting new desserts of the evening.
And if you're not a chocolate-and-caramel person, we're going to need a moment to process that information.
Something Savory Before We Completely Lose Control
Of course, we can't survive an entire evening on chocolate, whipped cream, and holiday enthusiasm.
Well, technically, we probably could. But let's at least pretend we're making balanced choices.
Disney is introducing the Yuletide Ham Popover, also available at Fairfax Fare.
Picture honey-glazed ham, creamy mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry chutney tucked into a house-made popover.
It's basically Christmas dinner dressed up as a handheld snack.
And that is an excellent idea.
For guests looking for something a little more sophisticated, the Jazzy Holidays experience at The Hollywood Brown Derby offers a selection of savory dishes, including char-grilled chicken yakitori, pork belly bao, charcuterie, and sliders made with bison and pork.
Reservations are recommended for the Brown Derby experience.
Because nothing says old Hollywood glamour quite like enjoying an elegant little plate of food while wearing your favorite sparkly holiday outfit.
Pixar Has Entered the Dessert Competition
Over in Pixar Plaza, another new treat is making a strong case for your attention.
The Partysaurus Rex Brookie combines a chocolate chip cookie and brownie, then tops the whole situation with white chocolate ganache, rainbow sprinkles, and a sugar cookie.
You can find it at Market in Pixar Plaza.
It's colorful. It's excessive. It's exactly the sort of dessert a toy dinosaur would approve of.
And honestly, after seeing this menu, we're starting to think the real theme of Jollywood Nights is simply finding out how many desserts one person can reasonably consume before the fireworks.
For the record, we're willing to conduct further research.
The Drinks Are Getting Dressed Up, Too
Jollywood Nights isn't just about the food. Disney is also bringing back its glamorous holiday cocktail atmosphere with a collection of festive drinks.
Among the new offerings is The Bauble & Bright, a sparkling combination of tequila, Grand Marnier, white cranberry juice, glitter syrup, and lime, garnished with cranberries.
It even comes in a souvenir cup while supplies last.
Over at Fairfax Fare, there's also a new cocktail called The Tinsel Twist, featuring a blend of spirits, cinnamon syrup, pomegranate juice, and a decorative star fruit garnish.
And for guests who prefer something without alcohol, Disney has several festive options, including The Sleigh Bell, a combination of ginger beer, rosemary, pomegranate, cranberry, and lime.
Because a holiday drink should feel festive whether or not it contains a little extra holiday spirit.
Don't Forget the Actual Party
With all this talk about food, it would be easy to forget that Jollywood Nights is also a full evening of holiday entertainment.
The separately ticketed event returns to Disney's Hollywood Studios on select nights from November 7, 2026, through January 5, 2027.
Guests can look forward to Disney Holidays in Hollywood, featuring Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, along with the returning Glisten! ice-skating spectacular.
There's also Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!, the festive nighttime show featuring projections, lights, music, and fireworks.
And, of course, the whole evening has that wonderful old-Hollywood holiday atmosphere that makes Jollywood Nights feel a little different from your typical Disney Christmas celebration.
Think festive outfits, sparkling decorations, classic Hollywood charm, and the very real possibility of eating dessert before dinner.
We're not judging.
Our Mouse + Park Must-Try List
We haven't tasted this year's new offerings yet, so we're not handing out official food awards.
But based on Disney's newly released menu, these are the five items we'd put at the top of our list:
Kermit Chocolate-Pistachio Sundae — Because Kermit, pistachio gelato, and chocolate cake sound like an excellent combination.
A TWIX on a Classic Pie — Chocolate, caramel, and shortbread? We're listening.
Yuletide Ham Popover — For those moments when actual dinner becomes necessary.
Partysaurus Rex Brookie — Because subtlety has absolutely no place in a holiday dessert.
Miss Piggy Strawberry Sundae — Because leaving Miss Piggy off the list would be both disrespectful and potentially dangerous.
And if we're being completely realistic, we'd probably start with the savory popover, move on to Kermit, and somehow find ourselves ordering the TWIX pie later in the evening.
It's called pacing.
The Holidays Have Never Looked So Delicious
Disney Jollywood Nights has always leaned into the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood Christmas, and this year's food lineup seems determined to join the party.
From elegant savory bites to wonderfully over-the-top desserts, there's something for guests who want a sophisticated evening and those who simply want to eat a giant brownie while wearing Christmas ears.
Both are perfectly respectable holiday traditions.
And while we haven't made our way through the menu just yet, we already have a few favorites picked out.
So bring your holiday spirit, your sparkliest outfit, and perhaps a little extra room for dessert.
Because at Jollywood Nights, the holidays are glamorous, the desserts are dramatic, and apparently even Kermit is getting into the culinary business.
And frankly, it's about time.
Disney Jollywood Nights takes place on select nights from November 7, 2026, through January 5, 2027, at Disney's Hollywood Studios. A separate event ticket is required. Food and beverage offerings are subject to change and availability.
