If there is something magical that the Disney Parks know how to do during the holidays, it's making treats that are both delicious and Instagram-worthy.

What's in it: A churro topped with hazelnut chocolate, spicy chocolate streusel, and mini marshmallows.
Where you can get it: Terran Treats in DCA
What we thought:
Crystal: I really got that "hot chocolate" flavor from all the toppings on this churro, and I'm surprised that the heat lingered in my mouth after this one! It's a cozy little snack.
Brian: Maybe because I am more of a purist when it comes to my Disney churros, but I didn't really like this. I think it was missing a bit of the chocolate flavor for me, though I did get the heat. Worth trying if you're looking for something different, but if you want to satisfy your churro itch, just get the regular one.
What's in it: Layers of roasted turkey, sweet potato bites, cheese curds, and gravy, topped with frosted cranberries.
Where you can get it: Merry Mashups, Festival Marketplace in DCA
What we thought:
Crystal: This one tasted VERY festive, and I loved the cranberries. The actual turkey I liked a little less, but it was fun trying a holiday-themed poutine!
Brian: This had a twist on poutine with its use of sweet potato tots. However, that was pretty much the only component that I liked...the turkey I don't think really added anything to it, and the curds were a bit meh. I will say, I am not the biggest fan of poutine, so my review is going to be a bit more biased. I'd have a whole serving of just the sweet potato tots alone, though!!!
What's in it: Esquites-inspired mac & cheese with carnitas, salsa macha, spiced puffed rice, freeze-dried corn, and chopped cilantro.
Where you can get it: Merry Mashups, Festival Marketplace in DCA
What we thought:
Crystal: I loved this. The carnitas was super tender, and the corn added a nice contrasting flavor. The star of this dish was the spiced puffed rice! Random, but fun!
Brian: I think this was one of my favorite treats of the day. The carnitas mixed with the mac & cheese doesn't sound like an obvious combination, but it really worked. I wasn't expecting the corn in it, but the sweetness of it added a nice touch.
What's in it: A ham slider with cranberry-bacon jam and Gruyère on a salt and pepper brioche bun.
Where you can get it: Winter Sliderland, Festival Marketplace in DCA
What we thought:
Crystal: This was a solid slider. The cranberry-bacon jam was REALLY good, and it made the whole thing feel very festive. I could've eaten several more of these.
Brian: This was actually really tasty. It tasted like a leftovers Thanksgiving sandwich, but with ham instead of turkey. Basically, it tastes like the holidays, and that's exactly what I wanted.
What's in it: A brisket slider with smoked onions and horseradish ketchup on a pretzel bun.
Where you can get it: Winter Sliderland, Festival Marketplace in DCA
What we thought:
Crystal: The brisket itself was great; it was super tender (which is sometimes hard to do!). I probably would've preferred a sweeter BBQ sauce on this, but the horseradish ketchup was an interesting twist.
Brian: I had high hopes for this, but was a little disappointed. The brisket and pretzel bun were good, but the sauce I wasn't a fan of. ... It was maybe a bit too sour for my taste. If you're going with a slider, def go with the Holiday Ham one.
What's in it: A fried chicken sandwich with cranberry-flavored BBQ sauce, provolone, onion ring, arugula, and citrus bacon aïoli served on a toasted brioche bun.
Where you can get it: Galactic Grill in Disneyland
What we thought:
Crystal: I really enjoyed this. It may not look as fancy as some of the other holiday foods you can get in the park, but boy, was this yummy. Props to the cranberry-flavored BBQ sauce because it was *chef's kiss*.
Brian: I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. The fried chicken itself is pretty standard, but the addition of the provolone, onion ring, and aïoli really take it up several notches — the aïoli even has a slight kick to it. I'd definitely have it again.
