🎄🍪Holiday Cookie Stroll at 🌐Epcot's Festival of the Arts! Purchase 5 of the 8 cookie stroll options, and receive your complimentary completer cookie and 🍦 soft-serve.

My family chose:
🍪Gingerbread cookie from American Holiday Table: Yum. This cookie is neither super soft nor hard - it's just in the middle. My husband and I enjoyed this one.

🍪Black & White cookie from L'Chaim Holiday Kitchen: While my kids and I enjoyed this one, my husband did not. It was a chewy cookie, and we agreed the chocolate side was better than the white side.

🍪Spiced Chocolate cookie from Nochebuena - my favorite! Definitely recommend. 😋

🍪Snicker Doodle from Yukon Holiday Kitchen - both parents and kids agreed this one was very tasty. Add this one to your Cookie Stroll list!

🍪Jingle Sugar cookie from Sunshine Seasons - Nope. This cookie tasted stale, like it had been sitting out for quite a while. Do not recommend.

🍪Completer Cookie - shaped like the star in Disney's new "Wish" movie - this sugar cookie is better than the Jingle Sugar cookie!

🍦Chocolate soft serve with candy cane bits - since I don't prefer peppermint candy canes, I like the chocolate soft serve by itself.

Other options available:
🍪Peppermint Pinwheel cookie from Holiday Hearth Desserts
🍪Linzer cookie from Bavaria Holiday Kitchen
🍪Holiday Sugar cookie from Connections Cafe

➡️ Nochebuena Booth:
🍖Pernil: Mojo Pork with Tostones and ketchup mayonnaise - SO. MUCH. YUM. Don't skip this one! The pork was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The ketchup mayo added a nice touch.

➡️Swirled Showcase:
🍺3 Daughters Toasted Coconut Porter Float with salted caramel soft serve: I definitely liked the porter! I may not be a fan of combining it with salted caramel froyo - I'd choose vanilla next time.

at Jollywood Nights!

➡️ Epic Eats booth:
🍗 Spicy Fried Korean Chicken with Pickled Vegetables served on a Mini Funnel Cake - my family's favorite! All four of us were eager to devour this tasty treat. 😋
🥩 Beef Brisket and Sauerkraut Slaw with Thousand Island Dressing served on a Mini Funnel Cake - both adults enjoyed this savory snack, while the kids were not so much okay with the presence of sauerkraut.
🍫 Giant Roasted Marshmallow with Chocolate and Marshmallow Sauce topped with Chocolate Curls and Cinnamon Cereal on a Mini Funnel Cake - we loved the idea of a S'mores Funnel Cake; however, ours had an overwhelming amount of Marshmallow Sauce and few Cinnamon Cereal bits to balance it out. It was good, but not my fave.

➡️ Market
🥃In Holiday Fashion: Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon, rosemary syrup, cranberry and lime juices, and cinnamon - this Old Fashioned was very cinnamon-y. While I prefer a more traditional Old Fashioned to this one, I sipped it to the end.
🍪Gingerbread Bites: These plant-based tasty treats came in a bag to share - all four of us liked them, but they were so rich we each had one and saved the rest for later.

➡️ABC Commissary
🥃Oaxaca Old-Fashioned: Intense smoky flavor! My husband loved this. I found it intriguing - good, but I still like a traditional Old Fashioned the best.

NOTE: The following snacks were enjoyed by my fellow agents at Favorite Grampy Travels who attended the event as a group while I was with my family:
🥙Mushroom Taco: Chili-roasted Mixed mushrooms, avocado crema, baby gem lettuce, and garnished with sliced radish
🍖Yuca con Chicharrón: Fried pork belly, yuca, red pickled onions, and chili pepper-lime seasoning with a yellow pepper aïoli
🍫Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake: Spiced chocolate cheesecake on a chocolate cookie base topped with vanilla whipped cream and cocoa powder with a chocolate handle
🥙Birria Taco: Shredded short rib and Monterey jack served with beef consommé for dipping
🍗Chicken Empanadas with Street Corn: Chicken empanadas served with a side of street corn salad topped with chili peppers, lime, and cotija cheese
🍹Mangonada: Frozen mango beverage with mango-chili pepper-lime sauce and chili pepper-lime seasoning on top (Non-alcoholic)

➡️PizzeRizzo
🍮Tiramisu - my fellow agents report that it tasted like an almond chocolate croissant and could not taste the coffee flavoring traditionally associated with tiramisu.

➡️Baseline Taphouse
🐟 Tuna Ceviche - Marinated ahi tuna, pico de gallo, and avocado cream topped with cilantro - my fellow agents report that it was a hit!
🥓🧀Charcuterie Cup: Manchego, chorizo, serrano ham, pickled vegetables, olives, and toasted focaccia bread - my fellow agents liked this as well!
🍸Sugar Cookie Martini: my fellow agents report that they were super excited to try this, but it did not live up to their expectations.
