2022 Candy Cane Dates Announced for the Disneyland Resort

Candy cane making is a tradition that dates back to 1968. Made entirely from scratch, these are hand-pulled candy canes that measure 18 inches long when finished. The candy makers mix pulled peppermint extra at exacting (very hot) temperatures to keep the candy pliable while it is being created. Even the room is kept quite warm (near 100 degrees) to keep the environment conducive to making the candy canes. Stop by during the candy cane making process and the candy makers can be seen pulling and twisting the sugar into its traditional shape. The process to make the candy canes takes around two hours.

As has been the tradition in recent years, the candy canes will be made in two locations at the Disneyland Resort. At Disneyland, the candy canes will be made at Candy Palace and Candy Kitchen on Main Street, USA. In Disney California Adventure, the candy canes will be made at Trolley Treats on Buena Vista Street.

These beautiful Candy Canes are going to be made only on select days. Today, Disney released the dates for the candy cane making, along with details about how to get them on those dates. Here are the dates:

There will only be a limited amount of candy canes made and available for each release date. They will only be available while supplies last. The limit this year is 1 candy cane per guest and in-person purchase is required. Things can change at any time so bring your patience and Christmas cheer to the parks when attempting to get a candy cane. Also, there are no exchanges or refunds for the candy canes.
