Disney Jollywood Nights returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Nov. 7, and the first taste of this year’s menu has arrived. In a new Disney Eats video on the Disney Parks YouTube channel, Full House stars John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin play a retro game show called “Name It!” and try to guess six holiday dishes headed to the party. Have mercy, indeed.

Now, we have the full Jollywood Nights 2026 Menu. Here is everything we know about the Jollywood Nights 2026 menu, plus the event details you need before buying a ticket, and why this holiday season is a great time to book a Walt Disney World vacation with Pixie Vacations.

What Is Disney Jollywood Nights?

Disney Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed holiday party held after regular park hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Think Christmas in classic Hollywood: Art Deco Sunset Boulevard, live jazz and swing, glamorous stage shows, rare characters, specialty cocktails, and plenty of event-exclusive food.

It is a different vibe than Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom. Mickey’s party leans into parades, castle shows and traditional Disney Christmas imagery. Jollywood Nights is more about atmosphere, music, lounges and characters you rarely get to meet. 2026 is the event’s fourth season, and for the first time it continues past New Year’s Day with two January dates.

Jollywood Nights 2026 Menu: The First Look

Disney’s “Name It!” video is hosted once again by Heidi, the glamorous version of the 50’s Prime Time Café waitress, with Chef Fallon revealing the official name of each dish. Here is everything shown in the preview. Disney has not released prices yet.

Twix on a Classic Pie

Where: Fairfax Fare  |  Status: New for 2026

A shortbread cookie crust is layered with caramel mousse and finished with rich chocolate ganache, plus a tiny gingerbread man on top. In other words, it is a Twix bar that went to finishing school and became a pie. This one did not appear on the 2025 menu.

Yuletide Ham Popover

Where: Fairfax Fare  |  Status: New for 2026

A house made popover is stuffed with honey glazed ham, mashed potatoes, gravy and a zesty cranberry chutney, then finished with chives. Chef Fallon described it in the video as “kind of like everything you’d have for the holidays in one little popover.” Last year, Fairfax Fare served a Holiday Turkey Popover with a similar build, so this is the ham sequel.

Hickory Holiday Mac

Where: Backlot Express  |  Status: Returning favorite

Macaroni and cheese is topped with savory barbecue pulled pork, crispy fried onions and a drizzle of chili sauce. Last year’s version was listed with burnt ends, so the protein appears to have changed for the Jollywood Nights 2026 menu.

Kermit Chocolate-Pistachio Sundae

Kermit Chocolate-Pistachio Sundae

Where: Hollywood Scoops  |  Status: Reimagined for 2026

Pistachio ice cream, chocolate cake, kataifi, green cookie crumbs and green M&M’s fill Kermit’s souvenir cup, topped with whipped cream and green sprinkles. Last year’s Kermit treat at Hollywood Scoops was a mint flavored sundae, so it is officially not easy being green this year, just pistachio flavored.

Bing Bong Candy Lemonade

Where: Market, near the entrance to Toy Story Land  |  Status: Returning favorite

Frozen strawberry lemonade meets butterfly pea flower tea, which gives the drink its purple color, and the cup is topped with cotton candy and freeze dried Skittles. Fitting, since Bing Bong is made of cotton candy. The video also slipped in some Inside Out trivia: according to the filmmakers, Bing Bong is part cat, part elephant and part dolphin.

Popcorn Crafted Soda

Where: Ice Cold Hydraulics  |  Status: New for 2026

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is poured with popcorn flavored oat milk and crowned with freshly popped popcorn. Is it a drink? Is it a snack? At Hollywood Studios, it is both, and it is very on brand for a party celebrating the movies with this Jollywood Nights 2026 menu item.

Santa Gertie Cookie

Gertie Cookie is part of the Jollywood Nights 2026 Menu

Where: Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction (Echo Lake area)  |  Status: Returning favorite

It would not be Jollywood Nights without Gertie. The park’s Echo Lake dinosaur returns in shortbread cookie form with icing, a dusting of snow and a festive Santa hat.

Complete Jollywood Nights 2026 Menu

Now, we have the official announcement by Walt Disney World giving fans the Jollywood Nights 2026 menu. For context, Disney offered more than 80 event exclusive food and beverage items during the 2025 season, including more than 35 new selections.

Jollywood Nights 2026 Menu: Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby Menu

If you want to sit down, Jazzy Holidays takes over The Hollywood Brown Derby during every Jollywood Nights event. Live musicians play jazz arrangements and holiday standards while guests order from an event exclusive menu. The regular Brown Derby menu is not offered. The confirmed 2026 menu includes:

  • Jazzy Sliders: bison and pork with onion jam and Gorgonzola cheese on a brioche roll
  • Chorizo Arancini: shaved Parmesan and salmorejo tomato sauce
  • Pork Belly Bao: Korean barbecue, cucumber slaw and soy vinaigrette
  • Tofu Bao (plant based): seared tofu, cucumber slaw and soy vinaigrette
  • Char-grilled Chicken Yakitori: crispy rice, passion fruit soy marinated chicken, cilantro aïoli and watermelon radish
  • Cranberry-Jalapeño Margarita: Flecha Azul Reposado Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and house made cranberry jalapeño simple syrup

Reservations are strongly recommended, and a Jazzy Holidays reservation does not include party admission. It also eats a real chunk of a five hour party, so book it because you truly want the jazz lounge experience.

Hollywood Studios Holiday Treats You Can Grab Before the Party

Holiday Wookiee Cookie

Holiday Wookiee Cookie at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Jollywood Nights guests can enter at 5:30 p.m., two hours before the party officially starts. That is a great window to try the park’s regular holiday menu, which runs Nov. 7 through Jan. 5 at most locations. Highlights include the new Life Day Wookiee Cookie at Backlot Express and Milk Stand, the Coquito Wreath Cupcake at Rosie’s All American Café and the Hot Cocoa Lunch Box Tart at Woody’s Lunch Box. We break down the full list, plus a long list of Disney Springs and resort treats, in our guide to Disney World holiday food you can enjoy without a park ticket.

What Else Happens at Disney Jollywood Nights 2026?

Nightmare Before Christmas show at Disney Jollywood Nights

Food is a big part of the evening, but it is far from the only reason to go. Here is what Disney has announced for 2026:

  • Disney Holidays in Hollywood: Kermit and Miss Piggy host this golden age TV style holiday special at Theater of the Stars with Mickey, Minnie, Belle, Tiana and live jazz musicians.
  • What’s This? Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing-Along: Jack Skellington leads a theatrical sing along at Hyperion Theater.
  • Glisten!: Champion skaters perform in front of the Chinese Theater, and Donald, Daisy and Genie join the show for the first time in 2026.
  • Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!: The Prep & Landing projection and fireworks show on the Chinese Theater, with snowfall along Hollywood Boulevard.
  • Twilight Soirée at the Tip Top Club: Live swing music and cocktails in the courtyard of the Hollywood Tower Hotel.
  • Pixar Disco: A DJ dance party in Pixar Plaza with characters such as Edna Mode, Frozone, Joy and Mike Wazowski.
  • More than 20 character experiences: including George Sanderson and Needleman from Monsters, Inc. (new for 2026), Duffy and Stitch dressed as Santa, Max as Powerline, the Rescue Rangers, and The Mandalorian and Grogu.
  • Rides with lower waits: including Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, which gets its first holiday overlay from Nov. 4 through Jan. 6.
  • Exclusive merchandise and PhotoPass: Event merchandise includes a Gertie Loungefly bag, and PhotoPass downloads from the party are included with your ticket.

Tips for Eating Your Way Through Jollywood Nights

Mickey and Minnie at Disney Jollywood Nights

  • Use the 5:30 p.m. entry. Eat a real dinner before the party starts so your paid party hours go to shows, characters and party exclusive snacks.
  • Pick three or four must try items. Nobody can try all the Jollywood Nights 2026 menu items dishes in one night. Plan around the treats you care about most.
  • Grab souvenir items early. Specialty cups and limited items can sell out, especially late in the season.
  • Build around Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Plan snack stops near the Chinese Theater so you are not across the park when the show starts.
  • Dress for the weather. Central Florida nights can be warm or surprisingly chilly after midnight, and much of the event is outdoors.

Reasons to Book a Disney World Vacation This Holiday Season

A couple smiling at Disney Jollywood Nights

Jollywood Nights is a great excuse for a trip, but it is far from the only one. Here is why the holidays are one of the most magical times to visit Walt Disney World:

1. Every Park Gets Dressed Up

Cinderella Castle glows with holiday lights, Epcot hosts the International Festival of the Holidays and the Candlelight Processional, Hollywood Studios leans into retro holiday charm and Disney’s Animal Kingdom adds handcrafted decor and the new Santa’s Holiday Grove.

2. Two Very Different Christmas Parties

You can do Jollywood Nights for Hollywood glamour and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party for parades and castle fireworks. Each is a separate ticket, but together they give you two completely different holiday nights.

3. The Holiday Food Goes Way Beyond the Parks

Disney’s 2026 holiday lineup spans the theme parks, Disney Springs and the resort hotels. Many of those treats do not require a park ticket at all, which makes a non park day built around holiday food a great way to stretch a vacation. See our holiday food without a park ticket guide for the full list.

4. The January Jollywood Dates Line Up With Spring 2027 Offers

For the first time, Jollywood Nights runs into January, with parties on Jan. 3 and Jan. 5, 2027. That overlaps with Disney’s first spring 2027 offers, which start Jan. 3 and include package savings of up to $150 per night at Deluxe resorts and room only savings of up to 20% for most Sunday through Thursday nights through Feb. 25. Traveling before Christmas instead? Select rooms are up to 20% off for stays through Dec. 24, 2026. Offers have blackout dates and limited availability.

5. Staying on Property Makes the Season Easier

Disney has tightened access to resort hotels, so a Walt Disney World hotel reservation makes it much easier to enjoy resort restaurants, Christmas trees and holiday displays, while Disney’s complimentary transportation gets you to the parks and back after a party that ends at 12:30 a.m.

6. A Travel Agent Costs You Nothing

Pixie Vacations is an EarMarked by Disney Authorized Travel Agency, and our concierge level planning is free when you book with us. Your Pixie can compare current offers (including whether the free Dining Plan for kids ages 3 to 9 on qualifying 2026 packages beats a room discount), fit a Jollywood Nights date into your stay and help with hard to get dining reservations like Jazzy Holidays. Request a free, no obligation quote.
