You can’t go to the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays without enjoying holiday cookies, now can you?

Dates for the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays haven’t been announced yet. In 2025, the festival ran from November 28 through December 30. The following information is from 2025. Stay tuned for the latest details.

Luckily, there’s the Holiday Cookie Stroll for festival goers to try — and I highly recommend participating.

The 2025 Holiday Cookie Stroll (similar to other festival crawls, like Emile’s Fromage Montage at Food & Wine), allows you to earn a complimentary prize as you purchase holiday cookies at select booths around the festival.

Here’s how it works and what cookies you need to buy this year in order to get your free treat!

How the Holiday Cookie Stroll Works

This is how the Holiday Cookie Stroll works each year.

Pick up a festival passport

The first thing you need to do as soon as you enter the park is to pick up a festival passport.

If you forget to grab one at the entrance, don’t worry, because you can also find passports at the different booths, in select stores, and at the festival marketplaces.

Buy a specific number of festival items

The Holiday Cookie Stroll doesn’t cost anything extra, but you have to purchase festival items.

There are only a select amount of dishes that you can purchase for the stroll. You can find them labeled in your passport.

You don’t have to buy them all — usually, only 5.

Get your passport stamped

Each time you buy a Holiday Cookie Stroll item, make sure you have the Cast Member at the cash register stamp your passport.

There is a specific page in your passport where the stamp goes.

Claim your prize

Once you’ve collected each stamp, you’ll bring your passport to the location noted in your passport. All you have to do is show all of your stamps to a Cast Member, they’ll place a completer stamp in your passport, and then hand you your complimentary prize.

Important: You can complete the food stroll at your own leisure during the festival, but you must complete it before the Festival of the Holidays’ end date.

2025 Holiday Cookie Stroll Dishes

Here are the 13 locations that are part of the 2025 Holiday Cookie Stroll. You only have to purchase 5 cookies — and you can repeat items.

I tried the following cookies during the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays.

Ginger Molasses Cookie

Mickey-Shaped Almond Black and White Cookie

Cranberry-Oatmeal Cookie (plant-based) 

Hazelnut Linzer Cookie

Maple Leaf Shortbread Cookie

2025 Holiday Cookie Stroll Prize

Once you collect your 5 stamps, take your passport to the Holiday Sweets and Treats booth near Port of Entry.

If there isn’t a line at the booth, you can simply go to the far left window to pick up your prize.

Sometimes the line can get very long here, so you may have to wait a bit. Be sure to plan accordingly.

The 2025 complimentary prize is a spatula with a Mickey that reads “Holiday Cookie Stroll 2025.”

You also get a container of holiday M&M’s minis and a Peanut Butter Cookies with holiday M&M’s Minis recipe.
