The list of what&#8217;s available can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/wdw\/walt-disney-world-holiday-treats-2020\/\">here<\/a> (and there&#8217;s still a few more days to enjoy them, by the way! So if you are headed down in the next few days, you may want to grab one of these!)<\/p>\r\n<h2>Magic Kingdom Holiday Treat Wins<\/h2>\r\n<p>First, we start off with breakfast! And what is a better Disney breakfast than a cinnamon roll? But not just any cinnamon roll? No, no! It&#8217;s always better as a Mickey Mouse shaped cinnamon roll! Drizzled on top is red and green icing, giving it it&#8217;s festive appearance. The best part about this cinnamon roll? It&#8217;s extremely flaky! Kind of like a croissant! This definitely isn&#8217;t the cakey cinnamon roll you get back at Gaston&#8217;s Tavern! If you&#8217;re looking for a &#8220;lighter&#8221; version, this is the one to grab!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-79818 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_3465.jpg\" alt=\"Magic Kingdom Holiday Treats\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_3465.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_3465-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Moving on&#8230;.this was, hands down, one of our favorite treats in all of Walt Disney World this holiday season. The Twice Upon a Cupcake!

There are even sugar &#8220;lights&#8221; strung around the tree. The cake underneath is a confetti yellow cake. But the best part comes when you slice this baby open!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<figure><\/figure>\r\n<figure><\/figure>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\r\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\r\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":79815,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\"} --><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79815\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fce03494-6e21-45e5-9fa3-26ad754da17f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"521\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fce03494-6e21-45e5-9fa3-26ad754da17f.jpg 521w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/fce03494-6e21-45e5-9fa3-26ad754da17f-347x400.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>And what do I see?
