Get ready for a festive feast like no other at Disneyland Resort! A galaxy far, far away and a wise-cracking mercenary are about to spice up your holidays.
For all you pop culture enthusiasts, Disneyland has some special treats inspired by Deadpool and Star Wars. io9 recently explored these unique offerings, and trust me, they're not to be missed!
While Disney Parks usually lean into traditional winter delights, this year, they've embraced a more diverse range of festive themes. And for those of us who love a good pop culture reference, it's a dream come true!
One of the most immersive experiences is a character dinner at the Grand Californian Hotel, themed around Mickey's Christmas Carol. You can meet the iconic characters, including a very serious Goofy as Marley, while enjoying a delicious feast. It's a sold-out event, but keep an eye on the park app for last-minute cancellations!
But here's where it gets controversial... Disney has also brought Life Day, a canonical Star Wars holiday, to life at Galaxy's Edge. And it's not just about the Wookiees! Avengers Campus has a merry multiversal menu, including a special appearance by everyone's favorite antihero, Deadpool.
Deadpool's Chimichangas at Pym's Test Kitchen are a must-try. These bad boys are packed with cheesy, spicy ground beef, charred poblano peppers, beans, and a kick of Guajillo sauce. The tortillas are a work of art, featuring a delicate claw mark, a nod to both Wolverine and Deadpool. It's a hearty dish that will fuel you through the busy holiday season. Just make sure to save room and avoid any snow chunks!
Over at Galaxy's Edge, Star Wars fans can indulge in some Life Day snacks. The in-universe menu has evolved, offering a more accessible experience for all. Tip Yip, once known as Endorian chickens, is now clearly labeled as chicken, which might disappoint some mythology buffs. But fear not, as Disneyland has embraced the canon holiday with some creative and delicious treats.
The Life Day Cheese Branch from Kat Saka's Kettle is a spiritual journey in itself. With its seeds, parmesan, cream cheese, and spicy alfredo dipping sauce, it's an off-world experience right here on Earth. And the Kerkoiden Cold Hot Chocolate? It's like blue milk, but better! A creamy, spiced cereal milk-inspired drink with strawberry pastry crumbles. It's a refreshing take on a Star Wars classic.
The holidays at Disneyland Resort are in full swing until January 7, 2026. So, if you're a fan of Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, or Doctor Who, make sure to check out all the latest releases and plan your visit accordingly.
