For more than half a century, Disneyland’s hand-pulled candy canes have remained one of the most cherished holiday traditions in the Disney Parks universe—right up there with candlelight processions, festive ride overlays, and the first snowfall on Main Street, U.S.A. These striped treats aren’t just candy; they’re a piece of craftsmanship, a piece of nostalgia, and for many guests, a must-have holiday ritual worth queuing up early for. And now, fans have their first look at the 2025 Disneyland hand-pulled candy cane schedule, complete with dates, locations, and returning details on the ever-high demand for these limited-run sweets.Credit: DisneyA Disneyland Tradition Over 50 Years StrongDisneyland‘s hand-pulled candy canes have achieved near-mythical status. Created fresh—truly fresh—by skilled candy makers who stretch, pull, twist, and sculpt the striped giants by hand, each cane is a reminder of the park’s earliest days of artisanal confectionery. Disneyland has described them as beautifully crafted, limited-edition treats that generations of guests have sought out each holiday season.As longtime fans know, these aren’t mass-produced items. Each 5-oz cane is hand-formed, hand-twisted, and hand-wrapped, creating a subtle swirl and shine that sets them apart from anything found in a standard holiday candy aisle. The process is mesmerizing to watch—if you’re lucky enough to catch a batch being made—and the result is one of the most sought-after confections sold in any Disney park worldwide.Where to Find Disneyland’s 2025 Hand-Pulled Candy CanesThe tradition continues in 2025 with alternating distribution locations between the two major treats shops at Disneyland Resort.That means guests looking to snag a cane will need to plan strategically—especially since the candies are known to sell out early in the day, often before some guests have even finished their morning coffee.The candy canes, priced at $21.99 each (as of last year) and weighing a hefty 5 oz, remain a premium—but beloved—holiday offering. Many fans buy one to eat and one to save, while others wrap them carefully to deliver as gifts. The price reflects both the craftsmanship and the extremely limited nature of the product.The 2025 Candy Cane Schedule—Mark Your CalendarThis year’s set of distribution dates is broken into two lists—one for Candy Palace inside Disneyland Park and one for Trolley Treats at Disney California Adventure. The official schedule reads:Candy Palace – Disneyland ParkNovember 28, 30December 2, 7, 9, 14, 16, 22, 24Trolley Treats – Disney California AdventureNovember 29December 1, 3, 8, 10, 15, 17, 23, 25Traditionally, these locations alternate every other day, giving guests of both parks a fair chance at purchasing one. Since the schedule runs from late November through Christmas Day, visitors who make multiple trips or have park-hopping plans have additional opportunities—which can be critical given how quickly virtual queues fill up.NEWS: Handmade Disneyland Candy Cane Dates 2025 Released byu/dejablu82 inDisneylandPreparing for the Candy Cane RushIf you’ve never attempted to get a Disneyland hand-pulled candy cane, know this: it’s not as simple as walking into a shop and grabbing one off the shelf. Over the years, Disneyland has implemented systems—such as virtual queues, return windows, and controlled distribution numbers—to help manage the massive demand.While the exact system Disneyland will use in 2025 has yet to be detailed, past years have taught fans to be prepared by:• Arriving early to the parks• Checking in at the designated shop as soon as distribution opens• Monitoring Disneyland’s in-app notifications or signage• Being ready with a backup plan in case quantities run outBecause each batch is handmade, supply is extremely limited per day.
