The Holiday Cookie Stroll is back at EPCOT for the 2026 International Festival of the Holidays. Disney released the full list of participating cookies alongside this year’s festival menus. Guests have nine eligible treats to choose from at booths and dining locations around the park. This guide covers how the activity works, which cookies qualify, where to find them, and how to claim the completer reward.
How the Holiday Cookie Stroll Works
The Holiday Cookie Stroll is a self-paced sampling activity. There is no registration and no separate fee beyond the cookies you buy. All you need is a free Festival Passport, which is available at festival booths and various locations around EPCOT.
Inside the back of the passport is a page with cookie-shaped spaces for stamps. Each time you buy an eligible cookie, the cast member at that location stamps one of those spaces. Here is the process from start to finish:
- Pick up a free Festival Passport anywhere in EPCOT where they are offered.
- Buy any five of the nine eligible Holiday Cookie Stroll items.
- Get one stamp in the back of your passport for each eligible cookie you purchase.
- After collecting five stamps, take your passport to Holiday Sweets & Treats near Port of Entry.
- Redeem your completed passport for a complimentary Festival Treat featuring a SNICKERS Tree.
The reward is limited to one per fully stamped passport, so families who want more than one completer treat will need a separate passport and five separate cookie purchases for each.
The 2026 Holiday Cookie Stroll Lineup at a Glance
This year’s list spans eight locations, with one booth offering two qualifying items. The table below organizes every eligible cookie by where it is sold.
| Cookie | Location | Park Area |
|---|---|---|
| Ginger-Molasses Cookie | Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow | CommuniCore Hall |
| Coffee-Mocha Cookie | Mele Kalikimaka Holiday Kitchen | Walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion |
| Maple Leaf Shortbread Cookie | Yukon Holiday Kitchen | Canada |
| Raspberry-Walnut Rugelach | L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen | Between France and Morocco |
| Mickey-Shaped Almond Black and White Cookie | L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen | Between France and Morocco |
| Chocolate Cookie | American Holiday Table | The American Adventure |
| Hazelnut Linzer Cookie | Bavaria Holiday Kitchen | Germany |
| Christmas Sugar Cookie | Holiday Hearth Desserts | World Showcase |
| Cranberry-Oatmeal Cookie | Connections Café | World Celebration |
Booth placements can shift from year to year, so it is a good idea to confirm locations using the map in your Festival Passport or the My Disney Experience app before you set out.
A Closer Look at Each Eligible Cookie
The nine cookies cover a range of flavors and textures, from spiced and nutty to fruity and chocolate-forward. Here is what to expect from each one.
Ginger-Molasses Cookie
Found at Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow in CommuniCore Hall, this cookie has the crackled surface typical of a molasses bake. It is topped with a swirl of white icing and red and green sprinkles, giving it a classic holiday appearance.
Coffee-Mocha Cookie
Mele Kalikimaka Holiday Kitchen serves this one. A round cookie base is finished with a tall swirl of coffee-colored frosting and chocolate pieces scattered across the top. Coffee drinkers may want to add this to their five.
Maple Leaf Shortbread Cookie
The Canada pavilion’s Yukon Holiday Kitchen offers a shortbread sandwich cookie cut into a maple leaf shape. A creamy filling sits between the two layers, and the top is dusted with sparkling sugar.
Raspberry-Walnut Rugelach
L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen, which celebrates Hanukkah traditions, is the only location with two qualifying items. The first is rugelach, a rolled pastry filled here with raspberry and walnut and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Mickey-Shaped Almond Black and White Cookie
The second L’Chaim! option is a Mickey-shaped take on the familiar black and white cookie, with almond flavor in the base. One half is coated in chocolate and the other in white icing. Since both cookies come from the same booth, guests can earn two stamps in a single stop.
Chocolate Cookie
At American Holiday Table near The American Adventure, guests will find a chocolate cookie topped with chopped SNICKERS pieces and a drizzle of caramel. It pairs well with the SNICKERS theme of this year’s completer reward.
Hazelnut Linzer Cookie
Bavaria Holiday Kitchen in the Germany pavilion offers a hazelnut Linzer cookie. This sandwich cookie has a Mickey-shaped cutout in the top layer that shows off the red fruit filling underneath, with powdered sugar covering the surface.
Christmas Sugar Cookie
Holiday Hearth Desserts serves a soft sugar cookie studded with red and green candy-coated chocolates. It is a straightforward option for younger guests or anyone who prefers a simpler flavor.
Cranberry-Oatmeal Cookie
Connections Café in World Celebration rounds out the list with a hearty oatmeal cookie baked with dried cranberries. Because Connections Café is a year-round location, it can be a convenient stop early or late in the day.
Planning Tips for Completing the Stroll
With nine cookies available and only five required, you have room to build a route that fits your day. A few practical points can make the process smoother:
- Stop at L’Chaim! Holiday Kitchen to collect two stamps at one location.
- Pair CommuniCore Hall, Connections Café, and Mele Kalikimaka Holiday Kitchen if you are starting your day near the front of the park.
- Combine Canada, Germany, The American Adventure, and the France and Morocco area during a loop around World Showcase.
- Share cookies with your group so everyone can sample more flavors without overdoing it.
- Keep your passport somewhere dry and flat so the stamps stay readable for redemption.
- Plan your final stop near Port of Entry so redeeming your reward at Holiday Sweets & Treats fits naturally into your route.
The reward is offered while supplies last, so guests visiting late in the festival may want to redeem their passports earlier in the day.
Dates and Key Details
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Festival Dates | November 27 through December 30, 2026 |
| Passport Cost | Free |
| Eligible Cookies | 9 |
| Stamps Needed | 5 |
| Redemption Location | Holiday Sweets & Treats near Port of Entry |
| Completer Reward | Complimentary Festival Treat featuring a SNICKERS Tree |
The activity runs for the full length of the festival, and guests can complete it at their own pace. Stamps do not need to be collected on a single day, so annual passholders and multi-day visitors can spread their cookie purchases across several trips to EPCOT.
Final Thoughts
The 2026 Holiday Cookie Stroll gives EPCOT guests a simple way to sample holiday baking from around the park while working toward a free treat. With nine cookies to pick from and a flexible timeline, it fits easily into most festival visits. Grab a passport, choose your five, and enjoy the walk around World Showcase along the way.
