It's the Cookies & Cocoa and Milk Featuring a Special Holiday Guest logo sign! The cookie party is held (usually) on Saturdays during the holidays at SeaWorld, Orlando.

all-you-care-to-enjoy for 60 minutes.
These are the same Fresh Baked Deep-Dish Cookie that are available at the food booths and kiosk that have been set up for SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration. I didn't shoot pricing signs this year, but they were $6.00 back in 2022... probably a little more now.
The Oatmeal Deep-dish Cookie at the cookie party is actually really good. Just from a retail value perspective, if you can eat three cookies at this party, you've broken even with buying each one at the food booths.
Each guest at the "Cookies, Cocoa, & Milk Party Featuring a Special Holiday Guest" received this cool little sippy cup — which was filled with either hot chocolate or milk. This is your cup for the event, if you wanted a refill of anything, it would be poured in this cup... i.e. they're not going to give you a new plastic cup each time.
The special guests at the "Cookies, Cocoa, & Milk Party Featuring a Special Holiday Guest" were Mrs. Claus and two elves, Ren (left) and Kirby (right).
Here's the basic layout of the cookie and beverage buffet tables. While guests are expected to enjoy their cookies out on the patio while waiting for the fireworks, the cookie and beverage tables are set up inside one small area of the Lakeside Grill Cantina (which is closed and no longer serving food by the time the holiday cookie party starts).
In case you were wondering what cookies were available, there's a cute little sign.
Mrs Claus, Ren, and Kirby were really great. They took time to pose with everyone that wanted a photo, and even had little necklaces for all the children at the party.
There's no "cast photographer" at the event, so the photos are all just taken with guest's phones or cameras.
Mrs Claus, Ren, and Kirby stopped by the cookie party in-between their show "Mrs Claus' Magic Kitchen" over at the Seaport Theater.
If you're wondering what the check-in line looks like at SeaWorld's Cookies, Cocoa, & Milk Party — it looks pretty much like this! There's a little podium at the front of this line and the cast member has a paper list and clipboard which should have everyone's reservations. (I always bring my confirmation bar code or email just in case.)
This is where guests are expected to sit to enjoy their cookies and cocoa at the cookie party. It's — a little dark, and can be cold if it's windy, because you're sitting right on the lake.
There's about seven tables on the patio with maybe 20 chairs. The chairs are all Wrought Iron... so they're a little heavy and not the easiest to move around.
At the far end of the patio, there's a photo backdrop for taking pictures with the special guest. While the patio itself is very dark, the photo backdrop is very bright!
Technically, these guys don't have anything to do with the
Cookies, Cocoa, & Milk Party — but they're just so cute and festive looking I thought I'd add them in here and just chalk them up as "holiday decorations". (I think they're actually sippy cups that you can buy when the Lakeside Grill Cantina is open for normal business.)
