🎄 What’s New for 2025: Holiday Bites Worth Traveling For

✨ Universal’s Signature Peppermint Churro — Universal Studios Florida
A returning fan favorite—this year's version is crispier, dusted with crushed peppermint, and served with warm chocolate dipping sauce. It's the holiday hug of theme park snacks.
✨ Holiday Hand-Pies: Turkey, Cranberry & Herb — New York Section
Portable and packed with comfort flavors. Think Thanksgiving leftovers… but make it theme-park gourmet.

✨ Holiday Feast Platter — Three Broomsticks & Leaky Cauldron
Roast turkey, stuffing, glazed carrots, minted peas, and a golden Yorkshire pudding. Cozy, hearty, and utterly transportive.
