With the holidays in full swing at Disney World Orlando, there's no shortage of cheer to get you in the ho-ho-holiday spirit. From over-the-top décor and lights strung up nearly everywhere you look, to special Christmas shows and events, the park has been known to go all out. Even the restaurants at the nearby Disney Springs takes the season seriously, because what could be more adorable than a Mickey-themed treat? A CHRISTMAS-themed Mickey treat, that's what! Every year when Florida's sweater weather slides in, the eateries of Disney Springs whip up their most creative creations for visitors to snack and sip on — and this year's line up of exclusive eats is no exception. Disney Spring's website lists out 10 seasonal menu items, as well as 4 photos to showcase some of what you can expect to enjoy. The little round Minnie Mouse chocolate bombs with their red nose, signature bow, and a set of shimmery antlers had us SQUEALING over how cute they were! What we really thought was the most cool about them though? They're actually dark chocolate piñatas that you smash into to reveal peppermint bark on the inside! You'll also find Holiday Mickey Mousse on the menu; half sphere-shaped mini chiffon cakes featuring both white and dark chocolate mousse, as well as white chocolate crisp pearls. All the elements come together to look like Mickey dressed up in a little Santa suit. It even has an edible belt, complete with a miniature belt buckle. How cute is that?!
