REVIEW: Chocolate Lumps of Coal, Cookies and Milk, and More Christmas Items Delight at Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar in Disney Springs

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar has once again been transformed into Jock Lindsey’s “Holiday” Bar, complete with decorations and special treats.

The bar has been overtaken by garland, Christmas knick-knacks, trees, and presents.

The holiday menu includes several drinks and food items, all of which will be available through December 30.

Cookies and Milk – $27

Assorted Christmas cookies and coquito

jock-christmas-5-4450548

Coquito means “little coconut” in Spanish and is a traditional Christmas drink from Puerto Rico made with coconut milk and rum.

jock-christmas-9-8141639

It’s more like eggnog than milk. It’s thick and creamy and ours had some chunks in it. The taste of alcohol isn’t very present.

jock-christmas-11-1774142

It’s not the way to go if you expect a milk consistency, but it’s definitely enjoyable with the cookies.

jock-christmas-6-5723553

Among the cookies is a soft oatmeal cookie sandwich with a white sugar glaze, filled with a thin layer of cookie butter. It’s a great item and a nice surprise, but unfortunately, there’s only one on the plate.

jock-christmas-7-9873030

The stars are sugar cookies with berries baked in and a berry jam filling in the center. The filling isn’t very present and it’s a very light cookie.

jock-christmas-8-7459515

The mittens have a rich dark chocolate taste.

jock-christmas-10-6364254

Last year’s plate included mint cookies, but we’re fine with them being left out this year.

Claus Mo – $16

Traditional cosmopolitan with a shimmery twist, garnished with red sugar

jock-christmas-14-8023949

This is pretty simple. It tastes like your classic cosmopolitan with a sugar rim. It’s not overly alcoholic.

jock-christmas-15-5594098

Yule Mule – $13

Gin, ginger beer, cranberry juice, and rosemary simple syrup, with a holly leaf sugar garnish

jock-christmas-16-7214026

This takes some getting used to. At first, it tastes like you’re drinking a fresh-cut Christmas tree, but it settles after a few more sips.

jock-christmas-17-7401964

It’s not our favorite on the menu, but if you like a mule with a twist, this might be the way to go.

Holiday Lights Deviled Eggs – $12

Colored deviled eggs with tobiko and shrimp

jock-christmas-food-6-9760217

This might be our favorite on the holiday menu. It has a nice mix of flavors.

jock-christmas-food-3-3519460

The shrimp on top was cooked well. But if you’re not a fan of cold seafood, this may not be for you.

jock-christmas-food-5-1975689

We were relieved that the egg coloring didn’t color our mouths.

Venison Sliders – $14

jock-christmas-food-7-4373866

These are the same sliders as last year. The deer meat taste is very outspoken.

jock-christmas-food-9-8039101

That combined with the cranberry sauce means this isn’t everyone’s favorite.

jock-christmas-food-11-6546268

Lump of Coal Dessert – $12

Cookies and cream ganache “coal”

jock-christmas-food-19-9368703

This item is new this year and will definitely be a go-to “Instagrammable” treat. It comes served under a cloche, which the Cast Member then lifts to an outpouring of smoke.

jock-christmas-food-18-7763503

Beneath the cloche are the “lumps of coal” sitting on a fire.

jock-christmas-food-13-1156728

The coal is crushed up Oreo cookies with chocolate ganache to keep it all together. It’s then dipped in chocolate to form a lump.

jock-christmas-food-14-3593306

It’s a very chocolatey dessert, so we recommend dipping it in the provided vanilla sauce for a delicious balance.

jock-christmas-food-16-4472784

Besides being very dramatic and photogenic, this is one of our favorite desserts this year.

jock-christmas-food-17-8808912

Fried Brussel Sprouts – $8

Fried Brussel sprouts with bacon vinaigrette

jock-christmas-food-b-3-8146940

This may not be the prettiest dish on the menu, but it’s still great.

jock-christmas-food-b-1-4256006

It’s a nice portion and the Brussels sprouts are nice and crispy. They taste great with the bacon vinaigrette.

jock-christmas-food-b-2-4022026

Had the bacon not been included, it would have been a perfect vegetarian option.

Ham and Brie Flatbread – $9

Shaved ham and brie cheese, pomegranate seeds, granny smith apples, apple vinaigrette, and watercress

jock-christmas-food-b-5-3702816

There’s a lot going on with this flatbread, but the crust is perfect and the ham and brie are fantastic.

jock-christmas-food-b-6-6728314

Other flavors show up and then quickly upstage each other.
