That’s the Way the Cookie Strolls

In early 2019, I published a blog about the EPCOT Holiday Cookie Stroll after participating during my December 2018 visit. After returning to EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays in 2025, I realized it was time to give that original post a much-needed refresh. When I went back and reread it, I was honestly surprised by just how much this simple activity has evolved over the past eight years.
In 2025, there were 13 cookies officially eligible for the Holiday Cookie Stroll. Back in 2018, there were only 5! While guests can purchase any of the 13 cookies offered throughout EPCOT, you only need to collect 5 stamped cookies to complete the stroll and redeem the prize.
These 13 cookies are spread across multiple Holiday Kitchens and select EPCOT locations throughout World Showcase and World Celebration, making the stroll feel more immersive across the entire theme park. There are also Epcot Cookie Stroll photo spots around the park you can take advantage of with Memory Maker!
Of the 13 available this year, here are the 5 I opted to try:
· Ginger-Molasses Cookie: Delicious! I would get this one again.
· Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie: The cutest cookie of the year! It’s good too!
· Chocolate Cookie featuring Snickers pieces and salted caramel: I loved the topping!
· Maple Leaf Shortbread Cookie with maple buttercream: I wasn’t going to get this cookie, but the Cast Member insisted I pair it with the beer flight I was ordering. He was right! This ended up being my favorite cookie of the day. I paired this cookie with these holiday beers being offered for the festival:
· Coffee-Mocha Cookie: Cute and Delicious!
These cookies are rich and big enough to share among a few people! I couldn’t finish one on my own. I highly recommend bringing a friend (or two) to tackle the challenge with you. You’ll also want to spread the Cookie Stroll out over the course of your entire trip; there’s no need to fill up on cookies all in one day. If you have Park Hopper tickets, you can pop back into EPCOT and enjoy a few cookies at a time throughout your vacation.
And don’t forget about the prize pickup location! Be sure to complete your stamps before leaving the park so you don’t miss out on redeeming your Cookie Stroll treat. Scroll to the bottom of this blog to see what the 2025 prize is!
