State fairs typically end before the holiday season, but anything goes in 2020. For two weekends this month, the Arizona State Fair is offering a holiday-themed drive-thru fair food event. With options like gingerbread funnel cake, candy cane cotton candy, and deep-fried eggnog, it’s as festively delicious as it sounds.
The drive-thru food event at the Arizona State Fair was such a success, it's coming back for the holidays!
The Ho-Ho Holiday Drive-Thru will take place on two upcoming weekends: Thursday through Sunday, December 10-13 and 17-20.
An official menu hasn't yet been released, but we have an idea of what to expect.
In true state fair fashion, plenty of deep-fried foods will be available, eggnog being one of them.
Funnel cakes are quintessential carnival fare, but you've never had one quite like this.
Boasting warm gingerbread spices, these sweet treats will take your taste buds home for the holidays.
Cotton candy is one of the best ways to get a sugar rush – and maybe a few cavities, while you're at it. It's also usually more whimsical than festive, but not here!
At the Ho-Ho Holiday Drive-Thru, the cotton candy will be flavored like a peppermint stick.
To balance out all the sweetness, several savory options will be available.
If you didn't get to chow down on a turkey leg at the first drive-thru fair food event, now's your chance!
The state fair has partnered with Great American Milk Drive, which provides milk to food banks.
If you donate at least $5, you'll get an insulated mug and recipes for hot cocoa!
Hours are 4 p.m. until 10 p.m., Thursday to Friday, and 12 p.m. until 10 p.m., Saturday to Sunday.
Vehicles will enter from the intersection of 19th Avenue and Monte Vista.
