Guests of Walt Disney World during the holidays know to expect the festive spirit incorporated into as many decorations, celebrations, and treats as possible. Disney Springs is home to the World of Disney store, which will be full of Holiday-themed Disney merchandise for gift-buying. Disney Springs also invites you to tour their Christmas Tree Trail 27 Christmas trees each uniquely decorated with a Disney theme, including Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Mary Poppins, and Star Wars. To join in the celebration this season, many of Disney Springs’ restaurants and food stops have added limited time holiday-themed “sips, sweets, and snacks.”
According to the Disney Park Blog, many of these treats are currently available to purchase and enjoy. Here are some of the offerings, and where to find them:

Disney Springs does not require a ticket to enter, so if you’re in the Orlando area and don’t want to pay the price of admission for a Walt Disney World amusement park, or are just looking for some extra magic, Disney Springs is another way to celebrate the holidays with Disney.
