Experience the extraordinary culinary offerings at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Star Trek themed menu, which leads the charge in bizarre yet delightful drinks and snacks inspired by various beloved fandoms during the Fan Fest Nights 2025. This exclusive after-hours event, reminiscent of Halloween Horror Nights, invites fans to immerse themselves in their favorite universes through a multi-sensory experience that encompasses engaging attractions, stunning visuals, themed merchandise, and mouthwatering food options. This year’s exciting lineup of Fan Fest Nights will feature culinary creations inspired by Star Trek, One Piece, Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros., Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dungeons & Dragons.
The spotlight shines brightly on Universal Creative’s innovative Ceti Eel Margarita, a unique twist on the classic cocktail. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Ceti eels featured in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, this drink is sure to be a conversation starter and a must-try for every fan.
This margarita is not just a drink; it cleverly nods to the tradition of tequilas often containing a worm for an enhanced flavor. However, the Trek version adds an intriguing twist by hinting at the danger associated with Ceti eels, famously portrayed in a chilling scene where Khan uses one to inflict torment on Chekov. We eagerly anticipate sampling this adventurous cocktail at the event and promise to provide feedback on its flavor profile, particularly if it has an ear-bleeding level of spiciness.
In addition to the margarita, fans can indulge in other enticing Trek themed dishes, including the robust “Klingon Targ Legs,” served in a satisfying rice bowl, which turned out to be a personal favorite during a recent press event. For those with a sweet tooth, a delightful dessert option called the “Tribble Truffle Trio” awaits. You can glimpse more of these culinary delights in the images below.
Joining the ranks of uniquely themed culinary experiences are dishes inspired by the adventures of One Piece and the supernatural elements of Jujutsu Kaisen.
For fans of One Piece, the exciting GUM GUM Devil Fruit will make an appearance in the form of a delightful Mexican concha. While we didn’t get the chance to taste this creation, its intricate design and the thoughtfulness behind its representation of the stretchy powers of the Devil Fruit are thrilling. Unfortunately, the menu lacks a signature touch from Sanji, but it still promises to deliver an unforgettable culinary adventure.
Finally, rounding out the exciting food offerings are creative treats inspired by the various curses placed upon Yuji’s body in Jujutsu Kaisen. Expect to see imaginative designs like churros styled as hands, a brownie cake adorned with spiky pink frosting to represent characters, and delightful confections resembling the mouth of the enigmatic entity.
Don’t miss the chance to try these extraordinary treats as part of the exclusive menus available only during Universal Studios Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, where every bite is an adventure.
