The $7.99 Mickey cookie sandwich scored a 6 out of 7 in WDW News Today's taste test, and the $6.79 cherry cold brew got a 4. Despite the "new" billing, the coffee is back for its third holiday season.
WDW News Today posted a taste test of two Magic Kingdom holiday treats on Sunday, Nov. 8, and the cookie beat the coffee. The Mickey Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookie at Big Top Souvenirs earned a 6 out of 7. The Cherry Cordial Cold Brew at Auntie Gravity's Galactic Goodies got a 4.
Our math: both together cost $14.78 before tax, $7.99 for the cookie and $6.79 for the coffee.
WDWNT called both treats new. The cold brew isn't. It debuted in 2024 at Cheshire Cafe, where WDWNT's party menu list tagged it "New," and moved to Auntie Gravity's in 2025. This year's foodie guide description matches last year's word for word.
The cookie has been around a little longer than Sunday, too. WDWNT spotted "a dark Mickey sandwich with a holly" on Big Top's shelves Nov. 2. Disney's holiday foodie guide calls it the Mickey Peppermint Chocolate Cookie Sandwich and doesn't mark it new, even though it flags several other sweets that way.
Here's a quick look at the cookie at Big Top Souvenirs:
How much is the Mickey Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookie?
$7.99 at Big Top Souvenirs in Storybook Circus. It's two soft chocolate Mickey cookies with peppermint filling in the middle.
Mickey's face is molded into the front. A holly decoration sits on one ear, with leaves made of molded white chocolate and a hard candy berry, WDWNT said.
The verdict was mostly glowing. WDWNT found "a generous amount" of filling and said the mint gave "a slight cooling sensation" without taking over. It comes in a clamshell container at checkout, so you can save half for later. Sure you will.
The one warning: if you don't like peppermint, "this treat isn't for you."
Where else can you buy the Mickey peppermint cookie sandwich?
Four places, per Disney's 2026 foodie guide:
Big Top Souvenirs at Magic Kingdom
Zuri's Sweets Shop at Animal Kingdom
Disney's Candy Cauldron at Disney Springs
Bayview Gifts at Disney's Contemporary Resort
WDWNT only priced it at Big Top. Disney's guide doesn't list an end date for the holiday sweets.
How much is the Cherry Cordial Cold Brew?
$6.79 at Auntie Gravity's Galactic Goodies in Tomorrowland. Disney describes it as Joffrey's cold brew coffee topped with cherry whipped cream, chocolate sauce and chocolate curls.
WDWNT's review was lukewarm. There's a lot of chocolate sauce at the bottom, so stir first or get "a mouthful of chocolate and nothing else." The cherry whipped cream sank fast, and the cherry showed up only as an aftertaste.
The chocolate curls looked more like flakes and "didn't add anything," WDWNT said. Its bottom line: a decent pick if you like a mocha, and a pass if you want your coffee bitter.
How long is the Cherry Cordial Cold Brew at Magic Kingdom?
Nov. 8 through Jan. 2, according to Disney's holiday foodie guide. By our count, that's an 11-day longer run than last year's.
Here's how the drink has moved around:
2024: new at Cheshire Cafe in Fantasyland, sold during regular park hours until 6 p.m.
2025: Auntie Gravity's, Nov. 7 to Dec. 21
2026: Auntie Gravity's, Nov. 8 to Jan. 2
It's also on sale during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which started its season Sunday, Nov. 8. Auntie Gravity's stays open until 11 p.m. on party nights and adds a party-only Nice List Shake.
What other holiday treats are at Magic Kingdom?
Plenty, and most showed up Nov. 8. A few from Disney's guide:
Gingerbread Milkshake at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, Nov. 8 through Jan. 2
Red Velvet Cheesecake, new at The Plaza Restaurant since Nov. 1
Minnie Reindeer Caramel Apple, new at Main Street Confectionery and Big Top Souvenirs
Mickey Gingerbread Marshmallow Pop, new at Big Top Souvenirs
Gingerbread Cake at Columbia Harbour House, Nov. 8 through Jan. 2
Our Oct. 26 story walks through Disney's full holiday treat list, park by park.
Big Top has the cookie, the reindeer apple and the marshmallow pop under one tent. Plan your sugar crash accordingly.
