Don’t Miss Out: Disney’s 2025 Candy Cane Schedule Could Sell Out Fast

Disneyland’s most treasured holiday treat is officially making its comeback, and for many fans, this announcement is the moment the season truly begins. After thrilling generations of guests with craftsmanship, nostalgia, and early-morning excitement, the resort’s legendary peppermint candy canes are returning once again for 2025. These treats stand alongside Disneyland’s most iconic seasonal traditions—and now, fans finally have confirmation of when they can get their hands on one.

Disneyland has released the full 2025 hand-pulled candy cane schedule, detailing every date and location where the coveted treats will be sold at both Candy Palace and Trolley Treats.

This update gives guests the essential information they need to plan ahead—important, considering these handmade candy canes remain one of the most difficult items to secure during Disneyland’s holiday season.

A Tradition More Than 50 Years in the Making

This reputation stems from both their craftsmanship and their scarcity. Unlike mass-produced canes, these 5-oz treats are stretched, pulled, twisted, and shaped by hand in full view of guests.

The process is as theatrical as it is traditional—watching molten sugar being transformed into glossy striped canes feels like its own holiday performance, complete with peppermint-scented clouds wafting across the shop.

Where You Can Find the 2025 Candy Canes

Disneyland’s hand-pulled candy canes will once again be available at two locations, alternating throughout the season. Last year’s pricing—$21.99 for a 5-oz cane—still applies, reflecting both the handcrafted nature of the candy and the extremely limited supply. Guests often buy one to enjoy and another to save as a collectible, wrapped carefully and displayed year after year.

How to Prepare for the Candy Cane Rush

New and returning fans alike should know that getting one of these treats is never as simple as walking in and purchasing it. In recent years, distribution has involved virtual queues, timed return windows, and strict quantity limits to manage the overwhelming interest. While details for 2025 haven’t been announced, past experiences reveal a clear strategy for success:

• Arrive at the parks before rope drop
• Visit the designated shop immediately upon entry
• Watch for app alerts or posted signs
• Have a backup plan—batches sell out quickly

Because each candy cane is created by hand, the number produced each day is small. Once the final batch is spoken for, the day’s supply is gone.
