Ho-ho-hello, Susan, and welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you’re hoping to sip, savor, and celebrate one of the sweetest traditions of the season—Holiday Tea with Santa and Mrs. Claus at 
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa! I’m right there with you, eagerly awaiting word from the North Pole—or perhaps more officially, the 
Disney Parks Blog—about this delightful experience’s return.
Last year, this cozy and oh-so-merry event at 
Hearthstone Lounge was announced in late October, with bookings opening right around the end of the month. As of the time I’m writing this, there hasn’t yet been an official update from the Disney Parks Blog. However, I have a hunch that we won’t have to wait too much longer. The blog typically shares a brand-new 
Foodie Guide to the 
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort around this time each year, and that article often reveals exciting details about returning dining events and seasonal favorites. Perhaps this year’s guide will bring tidings of tea and cheer from Santa and Mrs. Claus once more!
If you’d like to take a look back at last year’s article for a little inspiration (and maybe spark a craving or two), you can find it 
here. If I’m being honest, Susan, I’m personally crossing my fingers not only for the return of the event—but also for the comeback of that candy cane-shaped caprese sandwich. Yum!
Keep a close eye on the Disney Parks Blog and the 
Disneyland website in the coming days. With a little holiday magic (and maybe a sprinkle of pixie dust), I’m hoping we’ll all see the official announcement arrive before we can say “Ho-ho-hold my teacup!
Have a magical day!
