Universal Orlando's holiday season kicks off Saturday, Nov. 14, and Universal has posted its holiday food lineup with prices. At Universal Studios Florida, most of the seasonal eats are clustered in Battery Park, with more treats at a crepe stand, a London-themed hut and two bakeries.
Prices run from a $4.29 Mitten Cookie to a $13.49 Mel's Drive-In cheeseburger. Universal's site says menu items and prices can change without notice.
The holidays run through Jan. 3, 2027, at Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe and CityWalk, Laughing Place reported in October.

Where else can you find holiday treats at Universal Studios Florida?
The menu takes a small trip around the world outside Battery Park.
London Taxi Hut: A British-style Jacket Sweet Potato ($10.99) with maple butter, dried cranberries, vegan feta, candied pecans and pomegranate seeds.
Central Park Crepes: A Holiday Cookie Butter Crepe ($11.99) with cinnamon cookie butter mascarpone, shortbread cookies and whipped cream.

Cookie butter shows up in three different spots, so it's clearly the flavor of the year.
What Grinch treats are at Islands of Adventure?
Grinchmas in Seuss Landing has its own menu, according to Universal:
Hop on Pop: Grinch Hot Chocolate Bomb ($8.99, or $5.99 a la carte), Grinch Cookies ($3.79) and a Grinch Ice Cream Sandwich ($6.29).

The Who Nibbles character breakfast with the Grinch needs a separate reservation. We covered its price jump in October.
How much does holiday food at Universal cost for a family?
Here's some quick math using Universal's posted prices. Two Turkey Dinner Sandwiches, two 3 Cheese Grilled Cheeses and one Acorn Bomb to share comes to $59.45 before tax. Add soup to two of the sandwiches and you're at $69.43.
A cheaper snack run works too. Four Mitten Cookies cost $17.16 before tax.
Tips for keeping the bill down:
Annual Passholders get dining discounts at many Universal locations. Check the Universal app for which carts and counters take them.
Split the big stuff. The sandwiches and the s'mores are built for sharing.
Use the app. Mobile ordering at participating counters can save time in Battery Park lines on busy December nights.
What else is new for the holidays at Universal Orlando in 2026?
