*Of Course* Disney World Is Getting Into the Holiday Spirit with a Highly Instagrammable Cotton Candy Santa Hat

All year long, Disney World pulls out all the stops with themed treats, so it's not surprising that they take the holiday season very seriously.

To that end, the Orlando, Florida, theme park is now selling Santa hats…made out of cotton candy. 

The festive toppers are currently available at Epcot's China Pavilion—but getting your hands on the candy couture isn’t as easy as just waltzing up and ordering one. According to Instagram users @disneyfoodblog and @tradzak, the cotton candy is in such high demand that it's now only available at certain times during the day (and not available on Wednesdays at all).

And because this is Disney World, you should also know that the treat is going to cost you: Each Santa hat cotton candy is $15. (We hope Santa's is at least comped.)

However, it still beats some of the park's previous Instagram bait desserts. Who could forget the millennial pink milkshake? Or what about the purple wall slush, named after a purple wall famous for its selfie-status? We'll take a fluffy, sugary Santa hat over both. (And we think the big man up north will too.)

So yeah, we'll admit that the hats, er, treats, are pretty cute. But are they $15-cute? We'll let you be the judge.
