John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin got the first taste of Disney Jollywood Nights 2026, including a Twix pie and a Kermit sundae. Here’s what’s new and what’s back.
Uncle Jesse and Stephanie Tanner just got a sneak preview of this year’s Disney Jollywood Nights snacks, and one of them is a soda with popcorn on top.
Disney revealed the first six food and drink items for Disney Jollywood Nights 2026 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in a new Disney Eats video with Full House co-stars John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin. The pair had to guess what each mystery dish was before hearing its official name.
The after-hours holiday party returns on select nights from Nov. 7, 2026, to Jan. 5, 2027. Disney hasn’t posted prices or the full menu yet.
Here’s Disney’s video:
What’s on the Jollywood Nights 2026 menu?
Here’s everything Disney has shown so far:
A Twix on a Classic Pie (Fairfax Fare): a shortbread cookie crust, caramel mousse and chocolate ganache, with a tiny gingerbread man on top. New this year.
Kermit Chocolate Pistachio Sundae (Hollywood Scoops): pistachio ice cream, chocolate cake kataifi, green cookie crumble, whipped cream, green M&M’s and sprinkles. It replaces last year’s Kermit Mint Whirl.
Popcorn Crafted Soda (Ice Cold Hydraulics): popcorn-flavored oat milk over Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, topped with popcorn. New this year.
Yuletide Ham Popover (Fairfax Fare): a popover filled with honey ham, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry chutney. It takes over for last year’s turkey popover.
Bing Bong Candy Lemonade (Market): frozen strawberry lemonade with butterfly pea flower tea, cotton candy and freeze-dried candy. Back from 2025.
Hickory Holiday Mac (Backlot Express): mac and cheese with barbecue pork, crispy onions and chili sauce. Also back from 2025.
The popcorn soda is the one people will be talking about. It basically sounds like a movie theater in a cup.
When is Disney Jollywood Nights 2026?
There are 15 party nights this season:
November: 7, 14, 16, 21, 23 and 28
December: 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21 and 23
January: 3 and 5
Party guests can walk in starting at 5:30 p.m., which gives you about two hours to grab snacks before the party officially kicks off at 7:30 p.m. It runs until 12:30 a.m. Opening night, Nov. 7, is already sold out.
This is the first year Jollywood Nights runs into January. The party first came to Hollywood Studios in 2023, so this is its fourth season.
If you’d rather celebrate at Magic Kingdom, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party’s Thanksgiving week is already sold out.
How much are Jollywood Nights tickets?
Tickets run from about $169 to $199 plus tax, depending on the night. The cheapest night is Nov. 16, and the priciest nights are Nov. 28 and Dec. 12 through Dec. 23. Some nights list a lower price for certain guests, so check Disney’s site for your date before you buy.
What’s new at Jollywood Nights this year?
A few things beyond the food:
A new Checkin’ It Twice Lounge in Animation Courtyard, with a DJ
George Sanderson and Needleman from Monsters, Inc., a nice nod to the Monstropolis land being built nearby
Donald, Daisy and Genie joining the “Glisten!” show for the first time
The favorites are back, too, including Disney Holidays in Hollywood with the Muppets, the Nightmare Before Christmas sing-along, “Glisten!”, Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! and Pixar Disco. Nine attractions stay open during the party. There’s no parade.
Why are John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin in a Disney video?
Full House fans will remember them as Uncle Jesse and Stephanie Tanner. Full House aired on ABC, now part of Disney, from 1987 to 1995, and the two reunited for Netflix’s Fuller House years later.
Stamos has his own Disney credit, too. He starred in Big Shot, a basketball series that ran for two seasons on Disney+ from 2021 to 2022.
Disney will post the full Jollywood Nights foodie guide, with prices and the rest of the menu, closer to the Nov. 7 opening.
