Culinary Holiday Magic

Celebrate the Magic of the Holidays at Paseo, Céntrico and Naples in Downtown Disney District

Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort is the premier place for shopping and dining after a day at the Disney theme parks or to enjoy a nice evening out.

There are plenty of dining options to enjoy. If you’re looking for a taste of holiday magic can look no further than the Patina Restaurant Group’s three signature restaurants in the Downtown Disney District – Naples Ristorante E Bar and recently opened Paseo and Céntrico, the elevated Mexican dining concepts led by Michelin-starred Chef Carlos Gaytán. Guests can celebrate with friends and family thanks to the festive happenings and specials offered this holiday season.

Here are just some of the food and drink items you can enjoy:

  • Naples Ristorante E Bar:  
    • Santa Claus is setting up shop at Naples this holiday season for an enchanting Breakfast with Santa! Running between Thanksgiving and Christmas, guests can spend a morning grabbing photos with Santa paired with a festive breakfast feast, mesmerizing décor, and holiday activities, while carolers set the jolly mood. For kids ten and under, families can bring home a stuffed animal and personalized stockings. 
    • Throughout the holiday season, Naples is serving a lineup of cocktails and a desert special specially crafted for the season. Perfect to share between two, “Santa’s Margarita” infuses classic holiday flavors like peach schnapps and cranberry juice into this drink served with Asombroso Tequila and Chambord. Celebrate tropical-style with Naples’ “Christmas Colada,” which features a sweet candy cane rim. For a non-alcoholic option, try the “Sparkling Apple Cider Mocktail” with pomegranate juice and garnished with a lemon twist. For dessert, indulge in the Gingerbread Cannoli, stuffed with gingerbread cream.
  • Paseo
    • Running December 5, 12, 19 and 26, the culinary minds of Paseo invite guests to Paseo Navidad: A Celebration of Holiday Flavors. Experience a culinary demonstration and listen to stories behind traditional Mexican holiday classics, including tamales, Ponche Navideño, and Chef’s choice of a special holiday dessert. 
    • Throughout the holiday season, Paseo will offer Ponche Navideño, a traditional Christmas punch made from authentic Mexican flavors. On Christmas Eve and Day, guests can skip the hassle of preparing at home and opt for a delicious, three-course holiday feast featuring cornish game hen. The restaurant is also offering wintery cocktail specials including the “Nieve Margarita,” made with Olmeca Altos and Alma Finca and “Café Invierno,” an Irish coffee with a Mexican twist.
