Disney Jollywood Nights has returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the 2024 holiday season, and many restaurants around the park feature special menu items for the event. We’ve compiled a list of every item, as well as reviews for many dishes.

The Trolley Car Cafe

Menu

Food:

• 🆕 Agent P Croissant

*NEW* Agent P Croissant – 5.29

Waffle croissant dipped in caramel-chocolate and topped with mint cream, a chocolate hat, and M&M’S Milk Chocolate Candies

The waffle is way too chewy. We couldn’t tell if it was stale or just poorly executed. The mint cream is bland. The chocolate caramel is good but it’s buried by the terrible waffle.

Fairfax Fare

Menu

Food:

• Holiday Turkey Popover
• Just the Sides Popover
• PB&J Donut

Beverages:

• Kermit’s Frozen Banana Shake
• Mistletoe Martini

Holiday Turkey Popover – $6.29

Roasted turkey and creamy mashed potatoes topped with gravy and cranberry chutney in a house-made popover 

It’s hard to go wrong with this combination of classic autumn flavors, and this is exactly what we wanted from the dish. The turkey was tender and the gravy pulled everything together. There’s just a hint of the cranberry sauce to top it all off.

Rating out of 7: 6

Just the Sides Popover – $5.49

Macaroni and cheese and savory collard greens topped with cornbread crumbs in a house-made popover 

This popover wasn’t as good. The primary flavor here is salt and most of the ingredients were slimy. We don’t recommend this.

Rating out of 7: 2

PB&J Doughnut – $4.99

 Half-glazed doughnut with creamy peanut butter and grape jelly dipped in dark chocolate and served with house-made salt and vinegar chips

The PB&J Doughnut is also available at Hollywood Scoops.

The peanut butter is overwhelming, burying the flavor of the jelly. The crushed chips weren’t very crispy and didn’t add anything to the dish. This was weird, and while weird can sometimes work well, this just didn’t.

Rating out of 7: 3

Kermit’s Frozen Banana Shake – $6.49

Frozen banana and white chocolate with caramel swirls topped with matcha whipped cream and sprinkles

Kermit’s Frozen Banana Shake is also available at Hollywood Scoops.

The banana flavor is not the overly sweet artificial flavor but more like fresh banana. It pairs well with the caramel and white chocolate. The matcha whipped cream doesn’t quite fit with the other flavors, but it’s good on its own. The shake is fun, unique, and photogenic.

Rating out of 7: 6

Mistletoe Martini – $9

Tito’s Handmade Vodka and St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur mixed with cranberry juice and topped with fresh cranberries and mint leaves

The Mistletoe Martini is also available at Hollywood Scoops.

The elderflower liqueur elevates this from a standard cranberry martini to a special holiday cocktail. It cuts through the tartness and brings everything together. The garnish makes it nice and festive, too. It’s nothing fancy, but it tastes like Christmas.

The Tip Top Club at the Hollywood Tower Hotel

Menu

Beverages:

• 1939 Royale
• Top Floor Daiquiri
• Sparkling Pomegranate-Apple Cider (non-alcoholic)

939 Royale – $11.50

Teremana Blanco Tequila, Cointreau Orange Liqueur, desert pear, agave nectar, and lime juice topped with Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut

The 1939 Royale is the renamed 5th Dimension Royale from last year and on the left in our above photo. We didn’t expect to be okay with the mix of tequila and sparkling wine, but it worked well. It wasn’t overly sweet for a premixed theme park cocktail. The tequila is at the front, with a hint of wine at the back end. It’s solid and drinkable.

Rating out of 7: 5

Twilight Daquiri – $11.50

Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Ube, Lime Juice, and a splash of Shimmer

This is an interesting cocktail worth trying. It’s sweeter than the royale and a little syrupy, but it’s saved by the interesting notes of ube. The splash of shimmer makes the Twilight Daquiri a pretty sparkling drink perfect for photos.

Rating out of 7: 5

Sparkling Pomegranate-Apple Cider (non-alcoholic) – $5.50

Pomegranate-Green Tea topped with Sparkling Apple Cider and Pomegranate Seeds

This is also an interesting option. It features prominent pomegranate and apple notes. It’s bubbly, pretty, and leaves you refreshed.

Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby

Menu

Food:

• 🆕 Chorizo Arancini
• 🆕 Hamachi Crudo
• 🆕 Jazzy Holiday Slider
• Pork Belly Bao
• Tofu Bao
• Shrimp Cocktail
• 🆕 Sticky Chicken Wings
• Charcuterie

Beverages:

• 🆕 Holiday Mickey Hot Cocoa
• 🆕 The Sleigh Bell
• 🆕 Old Fashioned
• Espresso Martini
• Peanut Butter Whiskey Cream
• Sidecar
• Hollywood Lights
• Vodka Martini
• 🆕 Spiced Pear Martini
• 🆕 Peppermint Schnapps Sipping Chocolate

*NEW* Sticky Chicken Wings – $15

with sweet-and-spicy soy

There’s more of a kick than we expected, but the sweetness and spice are well-balanced, and the chicken is tender and juicy.

Rating out of 7: 7

*NEW* Chorizo Arancini – $14

with parmesan dust and salmorejo tomato sauce

This is a little on the bland side. The sauce is pretty basic. The chorizo is salty but not well-spiced. The tomato sauce is the prominent flavor, which isn’t saying much.

Rating out of 7: 3

*NEW* Hamachi Crudo – $17

with caper aioli, dijon-avocado mousse, and citrus champagne vinaigrette

There’s not a whole lot going on here but it’s decent. The dijon comes through a little, but mostly this is forgettable and underseasoned.

Rating out of 7: 3

*NEW* Jazzy Holiday Sliders – $18

If you miss the Lunch Burger from back in the day, it’s back in tiny form. The patty is very high quality and perfectly cooked. This is perfect. For sliders, they’re pretty good sized, and you get two.

Rating out of 7: 7

Pork Belly Bao – $14

Korean BBQ, house-made kimchi, crispy leeks

We preferred this version of the bao to the tofu option, though we don’t really think this is that great, either.
Our pork belly bao had a good amount of saltiness thanks to the soy vinaigrette. The barbecue sauce adds a tangy flavor that bounces off of the soy nicely. This dish feels very run-of-the-mill in comparison to the regular offerings at the Hollywood Brown Derby.

Rating out of 7:

Tofu Bao – $12

Seared tofu, house-made kimchi, crispy leeks

We found the tofu bao to be pretty boring. You can definitely taste the soy vinaigrette, but outside of that, this dish isn’t that interesting.
We’d go as far as to say that this bao is so basic, we could probably make it at home. Unless you really like the flavor of soy sauce on the back end, you’ll find this option to be quite bland.

Rating out of 7:

Shrimp Cocktail – $16

with house-made cocktail sauce and spicy avocado spread

For $13, you get three shrimp. After consulting the shrimp calculator, that’s over $4 a shrimp.
This is a pretty basic shrimp cocktail. There is a fishy aftertaste on the back end, as though the shrimp had just come out of the ocean. Otherwise, this is a standard shrimp cocktail and we would skip it on future visits.

Rating out of 7:

Charcuterie – $19

Cured meats and gourmet cheese, accompaniments, toasted sourdough

We find it weird that the description says “house-made cured meats,” when this charcuterie offers only one type of meat — duck — cooked two ways. The more normal way the duck was prepared leads to the meat being very dry with no flavor; the other meat is a pâté or terrine, which is fine but heavy on the fig flavor.
We like the blue cheese mousse, and love that honey was present — but this makes us wish this were a cheese board instead. The everyday charcuterie board at the Brown Derby is better than this, and a better value, for that matter. We would skip this, even though the blue cheese mousse is phenomenal.

Rating out of 7:

*NEW* Holiday Mickey Hot Cocoa – $5.49 (non-alcoholic)

House-made hot cocoa topped with whipped cream, caramel-chocolate, brownie Mickey ears, and holiday sprinkles

The brownies taste like the little prepackaged brownie bites you can buy at the grocery store. As far as hot cocoa goes, it’s decent, but it’s just regular hot cocoa.

Rating out of 7: 4

*NEW* The Sleigh Bell – $6.79 (non-alcoholic)

Ginger beer, rosemary syrup, pomegranate, cranberry, and lime juice

It’s well balanced. A lot of the mocktails at these events are syrupy and this is not overly sweet. It’s decent but nothing special.

Rating out of 7: 4

*NEW* Peppermint Schnapps Sipping Chocolate – $17.50

Tito’s Handmade Vodka and peppermint schnapps

This is dangerous with how smooth it is. The alcohol is masked by the chocolate, and it goes down easy. It’s a simple combination, but it’s a winning one.

Rating out of 7: 7

*NEW* Old Fashioned – $19.50

Knob Creek Kentucky straight bourbon, house-made orange syrup, and maraschino cherries

This is strong. It’s not bad, and it’s a good pour for the price, but it’s very alcohol-forward. As an Old Fashioned, it’s not great, but if you’re looking for something with a kick, it’ll do very well.

Rating out of 7: 5

*NEW* Spiced Pear Martini- $17.50

Grey Goose vodka, spiced pear syrup, and lemon juice

This is fantastic. It has a real pear flavor and is very crisp and fresh.

Rating out of 7: 6

Espresso Martini

Stoli Vanilla Vodka, Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur, and Joffrey’s Coffee Cold Brew 

Peanut Butter Whiskey Cream

RumChata Cream Liqueur and Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey 

Epic Eats

Menu

Food:

• Spicy Korean Chicken Funnel Cake
• S’mores Funnel Cake

Beverages:

• 🆕 Warm Spiced Chai Cocktail

Spicy Korean Chicken Funnel Cake – $6.79

Spicy fried Korean chicken with a pickled slaw served on a mini funnel cake

This is good, but “spicy” isn’t very accurate. There’s a very subtle heat, but if you came looking for spicy food, it’s not here. However, this is very flavorful, and the pickled vegetables add a lot to the dish. The chicken is well-seasoned, even if it’s not spicy.

Rating out of 7: 6

S’mores Funnel Cake – $5.79

Giant roasted marshmallow with chocolate and marshmallow sauce topped with chocolate curls and cinnamon toast cereal served on a mini funnel cake

The funnel cake makes a good base for the s’mores, but the chocolate-to-marshmallow ratio is heavily skewed toward marshmallows. There’s not enough chocolate here to achieve that classic s’mores balance.

Rating out of 7: 5

*NEW* Warm Spiced Chai Cocktail – $9

Twinings Chai Tea, RumChata Cream Liqueur, vanilla syrup, and cinnamon

Dockside Diner

Menu

Food:

• 🆕 Samosas
• Spicy Pimento-Kimchi Dip
• Poutine Potato Bites
• Christmas Tree Cookie Stack

Beverages:

• Sandy Claws Dark Hot Cocoa
• Naughty or Nice

*NEW* Samosas – $5.29

Potato and pea stuffed samosas with curried chickpeas, herb “crema,” and tomato-pomegranate chutney

The curry had a decent spice without an overwhelming heat, and the potatoes and peas came through in the profile. The tomato pomegranate chutney is fantastic. It looks small, but it’s hearty.

Rating out of 7: 6

Spicy Pimento-Kimchi Dip – $4.99

topped with chives and served with fresh house-made wonton chips  

Those disappointed by the Spicy Korean Chicken Funnel Cake will be pleased to know this is a decently spicy dish. The pimento does a lot of work here and pairs well with the kimchi. This is a good dish for sharing, too. The only downside was that the wonton chips were pretty greasy.

Rating out of 7: 6

Poutine Potato Bites – $6.49

topped with gravy, brisket, mozzarella curds, and chives  

This was awful. There’s nothing redeeming about it. The brisket is tough, the cheese was cold and hard, the gravy tasted like chemicals, and the tots were soggy. In an event with fairly decent offerings, this is a solid failure.

Rating out of 7: 1

Christmas Tree Cookie Stack – $5.29

Vanilla cookie stack filled with pistachio buttercream, cranberry, and raspberry jam topped with sprinkles and a yellow candy star 

This is a very cute treat, one of the more Instagrammable of the evening. The dish itself is kind of strange in that it didn’t quite fit the description. The buttercream is supposedly pistachio, but it tastes like vanilla. The cookies are supposedly vanilla, but they taste like subtle spices (we’re guessing nutmeg and star anise). We didn’t taste any cranberry or raspberry. It still tastes good, though.

Rating out of 7: 5

Sandy Claws Hot Cocoa – $4.99

Dark chocolate hot cocoa topped with cherry whipped cream

If you’re a fan of chocolate-covered cherries, this is the drink for you. It’s rich, with a strong dark chocolate flavor. The cherry whipped cream isn’t artificial or sickly sweet.

Rating out of 7: 7

Naughty or Nice – $9

Crown Royal Blended Canadian Whisky and ginger mixed with orange, cranberry, and grapefruit juices topped with fresh cranberries  

This is another good, festive cocktail where the flavor profile really encapsulates the season. The ginger is very prominent, as is the grapefruit, and the cranberry cuts the sweetness nicely. We could barely taste the whiskey.

ABC Commissary

Menu

Food:

• 🆕 Cauliflower Taco
• Birria Taco
• Chicken Empanadas with Street Corn
• Yuca con Chicharron
• 🆕 Taco ’bout a Holiday Cookie!
• Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake

Beverages:

• Mango Chamoyada
• Mango Chamoyada with Tequila
• Oaxaca Old Fashioned
• 🆕 Coquito

*NEW* Cauliflower Taco – $4.49

Chili pepper-lime dusted fried cauliflower on top of a corn tortilla with diced onions, cilantro, and a chipotle-cashew “crema”

This tasted like something thrown together at home using reheated frozen cauliflower. It was both cold and overcooked at the same time. The sauce was spectacular, though. The vegan in our party liked it better than last year’s Mushroom Taco.

Rating out of 7: 4

Chicken Empanadas with Street Corn – $6.29

Chicken empanadas served with a side of street corn salad topped with chili peppers, lime, and cojita cheese

The empanadas are filled with a blend of diced chicken in a tangy sauce. They are a decent rendition of a chicken empanada, but nothing remarkable. They make for a good two-bite snack.

The side of street corn was slightly chilled. The corn was likely canned but had a fresh flavor. The tajin seasoning also added a nice kick. The cotija cheese overwhelmed the other flavors, and we would have rather had a third empanada than the corn side.

Rating out of 7: 4

Birria Taco – $5.29

Shredded short rib and Monterey Jack served with a beef consommé for dipping

This tastes like an authentic Birria taco from a Mexican restaurant. The shredded short rib is tender. There’s plenty of cheese, maybe more so than on an average Birria taco. The consommé is rich, and diced onion adds a bit of a crunch to each bite. The outside of the corn tortilla was greasy, but that’s pretty standard.

Rating out of 7: 6

Yuca con Chicharron – $5.79

Fried pork belly, yuca fries, red pickled onions, and chili-lime seasoning with a yellow pepper aioli

This is a stand-out item of Disney Jollywood Nights. For something as simple as deep-fried pork belly, this is a remarkable dish. It was a little over-fried but had great flavor and texture. It melts in your mouth. The pork is salty and rich. The sauce perfectly complements it. The fried yuca was decent and also paired well with the sauce. We highly recommend getting this dish.

Rating out of 7: 7

*NEW* Taco ’bout a Holiday Cookie – $5.79

Cranberry cheesecake-filled chocolate cookies dipped in cranberry-white chocolate topped with pistachio whipped cream, gold crispy pearls, chocolate holly leaf décor, and holiday sprinkles

This is adorable. The cranberry comes through very strong but the rich chocolate matches it well. You get the sweetness of the cheesecake up front and the tartness of the cranberry on the back.

Rating out of 7: 6

Mexican Hot Cocoa Cheesecake – $5.29

Holiday chocolate cookie streusel, whipped cinnamon-chocolate cheesecake, and spiced whipped cream topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a Wondermade churro marshmallow

This is an excellent cheesecake. It’s dense but creamy. The chocolate flavor is good and not overpowering. There’s a hint of chili spice that gives it heat but not too much. The whipped cream adds a lightness that contrasts with the dense cake. We love this take on a chocolate cheesecake.

Rating out of 7: 6

Mango Chamoyada – $5.99

Frozen mango beverage with mango-chili-lime sauce topped with chili-lime seasoning

This drink is fruity, light, and refreshing. The mango flavor is natural and not too sweet. The chili-lime seasoning adds a kick of citrus and spice without overwhelming the mango. It’s a great non-alcoholic drink option but you can also add tequila for a total of $16.50, which would also work well.

Rating out of 7: 7

Oaxaca Old Fashioned – $9

Casa Dragones Blanco Tequila, Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, agave nectar, and flavors of chocolate and orange served over ice and garnished with an orange

We hated this last year but gave it another try this year, and while the ingredients haven’t changed, they must have figured out how to balance it better, because it was fantastic. Even the person in our party who doesn’t like tequila loved this.

Rating out of 7: 7

*NEW* Coquito – $9

Bacardi Superior Rum, Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, coconut cream, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk topped with cinnamon

We’re big coquito fans, so we were excited to try this. It’s well balanced. You can taste the alcohol, but before it becomes overwhelming, the cinnamon and cream kick in. It lived up to our expectations and we would definitely have it again.

Food:

• 🆕 Duffy Brownie

Beverages:

• 🆕 Dark and Snowy

*NEW* Duffy Brownie – $5.99

Coca-Cola fudge-filled cherry-white chocolate chip brownie covered in Coca-Cola buttercream and a caramel-chocolate Duffy paw 

To celebrate the nearby Santa Duffy meet and greet, a new themed brownie is available. It’s large and heavy, easily shareable for the price point. It tastes just like Cherry Coke and chocolate. It’s served cold. The chocolate-caramel Duffy paw is very rich.

Rating out of 7: 6

*NEW* Dark and Snowy – $9

Frozen blend of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and Coca-Cola topped with sweetened coconut cream and cinnamon

It tastes just like you’d expect based on the ingredients, as if you took a Jack and Coke and added cinnamon and coconut. The cream does cut the alcohol, so it’s a little nicer than a regular Jack and Coke.

Beverages:

*NEW* Italian Beef Sandwich – $6.99

Sliced beef sweet and spicy peppers and Barilla Sweet & Spicy Pepper Pesto served with a side of au jus dipping sauce

Antipasto Flatbread – $5.99

Antipasto spread of meats, olives, peppers, onions, Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto, and mozzarella

This didn’t look particularly appetizing, piled high with a medley of toppings but very little cheese. However, it all came together well. The meats are surprisingly well-spiced and pair well with the marinara.

Rating out of 7: 5

Meatball and Polenta – $6.49

Giant meatball with marinara and creamy cheese polenta 

While nothing special, this isn’t a bad dish. The giant meatball is worth the price point and it’s both dense and tender. The sauce is standard marinara, but both it and the meatball are complemented by the creamy polenta.

Rating out of 7: 5

*NEW* Caramel-Mocha Napoleon – $5.79

Layers of puff pastry and caramel mascarpone cream with a whipped coffee crémeux, salted caramel crispy pearls, chocolate curl, and sprinkles

Beverages:

• Round ‘Em Up Latte

Round ‘Em Up Latte – $5.69

A merry blend of espresso, cookie butter syrup, dulce de leche sauce, and milk adorned with fluffy whipped cream, playful animal crackers, and festive sprinkles

The Round ‘Em Up Latte is available on the regular menu. The only difference between the standard offering and the party version is the festive sprinkles.

This latte is available hot or iced, and you can add alcohol for an additional cost. The Round ‘Em Up Latte can be purchased at the Joffrey’s stand outside Toy Story Land.

Tinseltown Tini – $14.99

cold brew coffee topped with Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur, Grey Goose Vodka, a hint of cream, creamy vanilla cold foam, and a dash of cocoa  

The Tinseltown Tini is a party exclusive and can be purchased at the Joffrey’s kiosk near The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

Various Outdoor Vending Locations

Menu

Food:

• Christmas Gertie Cookie
• Gingerbread Bites

Christmas Gertie Cookie – $4.29

Gertie sugar cookie with a Santa hat

The sugar cookie is designed to look like the iconic Gertie that houses the Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction near Echo Lake. For the holiday season, Gertie gets dressed up in a Santa hat (and usually carries an ornament in her mouth, though this is not represented in her cookie form).

The cookie was fresh and soft with a slight crunch from the icing. It’s a standard cookie, but the cuteness is the big selling point here.

Rating out of 7: 7

Gingerbread Bites – $4.25

plant-based

These are thick squares of gingerbread coated in cinnamon sugar. They’re dense and soft rather than crispy, like a gingerbread cookie. The gingerbread flavor is subtle. We took some home to enjoy with coffee the next morning, and it made for a nice treat.

Frozen Espresso Martini – $11.50

Frozen Joffrey’s Coffee Cold Brew, Minute Maid Vanilla Smoothie, SelvaRey Chocolate Rum, and Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur with chocolate sauce and topped with chocolate curls

They’re very strict about this being Passholder exclusive. It’s a good espresso martini. It hits the spot and tastes festive. There’s plenty of alcohol in here, too.
