One of my favorite new items from this year’s EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is the new Peanut Stew, found at the Refreshment Outpost, and totally vegan as is – now we’ve got the recipe! Big thanks to Disney Parks and Disney Eats for sharing this recipe, so now I don’t have to attempt to recreate it at home through trial and error! (Also, I’m totally going to make a huge supply of those spiced peanuts, they are so good!)
If you’re looking for all of the vegan eats at the 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, we have a full vegan guide, video, posts on our instagram page, reels, tiktoks and more! (We’ve got you covered!)
