This Year’s Top Holiday Treats at Universal Orlando Resort admin, December 4, 2025December 4, 2025 The Holidays at Universal are extra special for many reasons. The decorations, the glow of the Christmas tree at night, the adorable seasonal merchandise to add to my wish list… oh, and the array of seasonal treats to choose from! Whether you’re visiting Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Epic Universe, or hopping across the resort, hotels, and Universal CityWalk, rest assured there’s a holiday-themed crêpe, creme puff, or churro with your name on it. If you’re like me and you spend your time planning and prioritizing exactly which treats you want to try during your theme park merrymaking, I’ve got exactly what you need: a guide to this year’s top holiday treats at Universal Orlando Resort. Haul out the holly and read on! Holiday Churro from Celestial Snacks in Universal Epic Universe Dedicated Discover Universal Blog readers know that it’s established lore that Santa Claus has a workshop in Celestial Park. So it’s no surprise that Celestial Snacks would want to honor the man in red with his very own treat! The Holiday Churro features a gingerbread churro, peppermint marshmallow topping, holiday sprinkles, and a white chocolate Santa. In the mood for a sweet churro chaser? I like the way you think. Stop by Frosty Moon and try their exclusive holiday flavor, Chocolate Peppermint Soft Serve! Because the only thing better than a churro, as we all know, is a churro à la mode. Snickerdoodle Crêpe from Central Park Crêpes in Universal Studios Florida Sure, you can satisfy your sweet (or savory) tooth at Central Park Crêpes all year round — but during the Holidays at Universal, you can turn things up to a holly jolly 11 by indulging in a Snickerdoodle Crêpe! This treat combines cinnamon mascarpone spread, snickerdoodle crumbles, whipped cream, and holiday sugar dust into a creation that’s worth getting on the naughty list for. (Although if you ask me, there’s nothing naughty about indulging in sweet treats during the holiday season! I just recommended you pair a churro with ice cream, after all.) The Elegant Ornament from TODAY Cafe in Universal Studios Florida Time to decorate the tree! Let’s see, I’ve got a commemorative felt stingray from the aquarium, a hidden pickle, a rainbow star on top… what’s missing? Oh, yeah: an Elegant Ornament, of course! Available at TODAY Cafe, this ornament is even sweeter than your most sentimental decoration, being that it’s made of chocolate crème brûlée with a white chocolate peppermint center. Disclaimer: I don’t actually recommend hanging this on your tree. You’re better off pairing it with some hot chocolate and enjoying both as you watch Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s! Santa’s Christmas Crème Puff from San Francisco Bakery & Croissant Moon As we learn from a very formative age, it’s best practice to leave cookies and milk out for Santa on Christmas Eve. But why not mix it up this year and leave out Santa’s Christmas Crème Puff? This chantilly-cream-filled puff with mocha cookie butter will be a guaranteed hit — although if you’re more eager to enjoy it yourself than leave it by the fireplace, I wouldn’t blame you. You can find it at San Francisco Bakery in Universal Studios Florida and Croissant Moon in Islands of Adventure! Speaking of both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, join me in a thought experiment. You’re park-hopping between the two when it hits you: a craving for a sweet shake to fuel your fun. Should you find yourself in these dire straits, have no fear! The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen has you covered with The Red and White Nice Shake, a mocha and peppermint shake with candy cane sprinkles, peppermint bark snowflakes and a candy cane. Espress-O Come All Ye Faithful from Green & Red Coconut Club in Universal CityWalk It’s a simple fact that an espresso martini is the perfect dessert beverage. A sweet sip with a little caffeine boost — what could be better than that? The answer is, of course, an espresso martini with a punny, holiday-themed name. Enter: Espress-O Come All Ye Faithful, available at Green & Red Coconut Club in Universal CityWalk. Made with vanilla vodka, crème de cacao, white crème de menthe and cold brew concentrate with a crushed candy cane rim, this is sure to warm you up inside as you enjoy the holiday overlay in CityWalk’s most festive club! PRO TIP: If you can’t make it to the Holidays at Universal this year, sip on the season from home with our recipe for a Gin-gle Bells Mocktail from Green & Red Coconut Club! …And Even More Sweet Treats & Sips! Craving even more scrumptious holiday treats? Say no more! Here are just a few of my other favorites across the resort: Sticky Toffee Cake from VIVO Italian Kitchen in Universal CityWalk Peppermint Chocolate Chip Gelato from Louie’s Gelato Counter in Universal Studios Florida Classic Coquito from Confisco Grill in Islands of Adventure (or go for the No-quito mocktail version!) Holiday Hot Chocolate Specialties at Universal Aventura Hotel Plus, if you’re a Passholder, you can enjoy even more special menu items available at select locations throughout Universal Orlando Resort! If you’re in the market for one of these treats, all you have to do is ask — and show your valid Pass, of course: Pumpkin Pie Crêpe from Central Park Crêpes in Universal Studios Florida Peppermint Dark & White Churro from Natural Selections in Universal Islands of Adventure Fig and Mascarpone Gelato from Gelateria at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, Tuk Tuk Market at Loews Royal Pacific Resort, and New Dutch Trading Co. at Loews Sapphire Falls Resort Passholder Exclusive Fudge Flavor at select locations in Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal Epic Universe Whew!
