 Hey friends tonight I am hanging out at Busch Gardens. It's the media night for their Christmas town and I'm so excited. We're gonna try some Christmas themed beverages and snacks and also look at pretty lights and Christmas trees and then we are gonna top off the night with our first fireworks show and it's a Christmas fireworks show. So let's go do this. This place is gonna look so beautiful at night. Oh it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. There is also gonna be a couple of different holiday themed shows tonight. I'm like overall just so excited for everything that's gonna happen here because I've never been down here for the holidays. I came for Halloween and now I'm coming back for Christmas time and so far I'm loving it. Right here is Christmas town village and right through those gates it doesn't open till 4 o'clock they're gonna have a whole bunch of pretty lights themed food and drinks and some amazing holiday entertainment like I spoke of before. I'm just so excited to get in there. A nice Christmas on ice show that's gonna have three different showings throughout the night and we're definitely gonna catch one of them and take a look at that gigantic Santa they're actually doing a meet and greet with Santa. Well not that one the actual size Santa. Right here at the Santa's merry meet and greet at the Coke canopy. Oh I like how that just all came together. Santa's merry meet and greet at the Coke canopy. Christmas town has 16 different boots with different types of food and beverages all with a holiday twist to them and you can actually buy a lanyard like you see me wearing earlier where you can try a sample of all of them. Because this is a media event, Bush Gardens actually supplied me with a lanyard to actually try all this stuff but I'll give you a rundown of the prices. It looks like for a five-item lanyard it's 34.99 and then past members actually get an extra two punches and they've got some amazing things and I can't wait to try them all. Pumpkin spice loaf see there's a lot of good stuff. Another really cool thing that they're actually offering this year on top of the sample lanyards are these actual Christmas town mugs because they have a whole bunch of different hot beverages that you can actually make it a little jolly and add bellies or peppermint snobs or couloula and if you buy a specialty hot cocoa or eggnog and you use this mug you get refills for only $2.99 which is amazing and I think that's what I'm gonna do now and start off with my first boost at the cookies and cocoa stand. The specialty hot chocolate is $8.99 we already have the mug and guess what we're making it jolly. Oh we are making it jolly. That's the way to start the night look at that. I might as well get the sweetness overload in now so along with our hot cocoa we're gonna need something to snack on like a little pastry or dessert. So then the second one they have winter sweets churro bites and mini apple or cherry tarts. I might want to get a cherry or an apple tart they look fantastic don't they? Oh yeah I like it. Oh but those look so festive! Oh boy if anybody ever asked if you want whipped cream on that I don't think there's a reason to say no ever. So I decided to go with the cherry tart and she asked hey do you want whipped cream on this and I said well absolutely I do look at how delicious this looks. Oh boy this looks so phenomenal and I have to say the hot cocoa is on point I got the peppermint snops in it and now I'm ready to go with this. If you had to choose between the cherry tart and the churros which one would you get? I mean I like churros but this just looked so good so we're gonna find out. I feel like I made the right choice here folks that is so amazing and the whipped cream cools it down a little bit because it is an actual hot dish that is superb. I absolutely house that cherry tart and number three stop is the Klaus baked goods but I think because we're going to be eating so much sweets maybe we should like kind of make like a little bit of like a rotation so I'm going to skip this one and actually get something like a food item but these do look pretty delicious look that's the brownie and then these are the donuts so festive looking and I think I found the perfect item oh and this is one of my favorite christmas songs winter waffle and bites and look at that they have bison beef sliders bacon onion jam vintage cheddar and mayonnaise and pickles oh they also have beer cheese soup wow this is some good stuff but this is what I need I am very torn between the chicken waffles and the beef bacon sliders don't know which one I'm gonna go with oh wow that's super fancy they're actually making the waffles like right now oh man I had to go with the bison beef slider look at that with the onion jam I did not get the actual cheddar cheese on it but this looks so amazing this is definitely going to be one of those videos where we eat lots of food and I'm excited to try this one might be a little messy though hold on here I don't know what to say that is so amazing and I don't know if it's the the bacon onion jam or if it's the bison but wow just the combination including the bun it's perfection the bison beef slider was going to be very hard to top I absolutely loved it but you can see they have another stand here that has a harvest crystal slider which is turkey and prosciutto and cranberry jam but they also have a winter wonderland hot toddy apple cider with jack daniel's tennessee honey whiskey and chai tea that sounds pretty good but we're gonna actually get back into our rotation of things and I guess the rotation is gonna be drink sweet food drink sweet food drink sweet food I like it and that is why we are at the holiday cheer stand because they have a yingling's hershey's chocolate porter peanut butter cup and then also a yingling flight how amazing is that so basically you get the hershey's yingling well the beer itself and then they add a shot of peanut butter whiskey dare I dare I I do I do this is such a crazy little invention a hershey's chocolate beer with a shot of peanut butter whiskey I don't know what to expect oh my lord why is that so good it's got such a delicious delicious taste I mean if you're like planning a night of drinking beer I don't think you can definitely house this for a consecutive like two times but wow this is definitely something you got to try I feel like that was a little bit of a conundrum because you know we spoke about this rotation which who am I kidding eventually the rotation is just going to get thrown right out the window but we were supposed to go drink sweet desserts and then actual food item and we just had a dessert beer so I don't even know where we're at now it's starting to get a little dark out so we're seeing some of the lights turn on and being a little bit more merry and bright but since it's going to get maybe a rainstorm later I think we're going to head on over and see if we can catch the ice skating show because I feel like if it rains that's going to get canceled but can we not just appreciate how majestic these reindeer's look especially because I'm a reindeer today I'm rude off but later on I might actually change the frosty just saying look it it's like they're posing for like a magazine cover as we are waiting for the show to start a nice little lady came up to me and she was like I like your Christmas bag and I was like oh that's cool she's like do you know where you got her from and I was like they gave it to me up front because I'm here on like a media event and she was like oh I haven't seen those before so I offered to give her the bag and she was like no that's okay but then I offered to give her my extra mug and she was so happy so I gave it to her look at her she's holding it right over there it's so cute what am I gonna do with two mugs oh and I met up with my buddy Jay Tampa Jay and he got the actual Crisco slider that looks fantastic it's like Thanksgiving on a bone look at that with some pickles yes it's one more pickles and Thanksgiving yeah I emptied everything out of the bag so she can have it here honey I emptied everything out if you want that bag I emptied I had it all well my mistake I guess the show doesn't start for another 50 minutes so uh we're gonna just go about maybe get some more food it is getting so beautiful out oh yes this is great wow I came upon another really cool stand and it's called jack frosty cocktails but I like to play on more it's because all of the drinks have jacked angles inside of it so jack frosty cocktails you know pretty fancy a frozen jack daniel's fireball whiskey granny apple and then they also have a frozen screwball peanut butter whiskey s'mores I'm telling you I don't know what to do with all these fancy like unique cocktails and beers this is good stuff and we actually made our entourage a little bit bigger because Jackie is now here and we're gonna get the same drink because I think the fireball granny apple sounds pretty interesting right yeah it really does yeah like a little cinnamon whiskey with apple yeah apple cinnamon all comes together that's the way drinks oh but there's a little there's a little bit of cocktail making here and I've seen some of the other ones they also have all sorts of ingredients that are added in when you purchase them they're putting push gardens oh wow she is fantastic look at this all right so if you look out and get money then you're gonna get the bg you're gonna get the bg thank you this seriously looks so good doesn't it look at the layer of caramel inside of it oh i'm excited to try this here's the christmas town let's try it out the fortnight of new york yeah much bigger oh that is delicious wow you hit the green apple and then the like you get like a an apple and then the caramel and that's when the cinnamon kicks in i like this a lot it looks like we got a full show for the ice skating i'm so excited this looks like a very big crowd bringing her amazing show i absolutely loved it the music the lights and just the ice skaters they were doing some pretty crazy stunts i highly suggest you get here early the seats filled up so quick and we got here like i would say 20 minutes before the show and we still got like the bare minimum seats like we had to like scrounge around to find them so if you want to see a good show get here early definitely experience it i would do one of the first ones early in the night but very good bravo to you bravo to them now that we knocked out one of the shows already i think we're gonna move along to some of the boots that are on the outside of the christmas village and it's amazing how many we haven't even touched yet there are so many 16 like i said and they all have some amazing items i definitely need to get myself probably another food item i feel like we totally gone off the path of the rotation i know i talked a big rotation game but it's out the window like i said earlier so we're just gonna get whatever we feel like and lucky number 13 stand has loaded mash potato bowl this looks pretty amazing chicken and gravy bacon crumbles cheddar cheese and crispy onions they also have impossible chili and a chocolate explosion brownie bake also a cinnamon cranberry mimosa fancy and i decided to go with the mash potato bowl look at this this is phenomenal guys and they actually make it like right there they just scoop in mashed potatoes chicken and gravy the onions and the bacon bits and the cheese i got no cheese but i also got the cranberry mimosa wow this is good i love mashed potato bowls and this is just so good and i like that like the chicken is like that chicken and gravy mix you know what i mean and the crispy onions just top it off very good very good stuff i am not a big cranberry fan but this isn't too bad like this is just kind of like light and refreshing but and a big but this mashed potato bowl was better than the bison slider so so far for the night mashed potato bowl is my favorite thing since we just eating a whole bunch of food i think it's time to go explore some of the christmas lights i'm very excited because this looks pretty a very furry christmas at bush gardens look at how pretty all of the lights hanging from the trees are this is so amazing i absolutely love it over here and if you guys haven't noticed i switched into my frosty mask and this fits perfectly wow guys i love it here every time we make a turn around a corner it just gets better and better this is amazing uh oh i think we're coming on to something magical ahead i could probably spend all day in there honestly it's just so good so amazing it's gonna be pretty hard to actually top that white tunnel there but i may have something that might actually top it maybe the holly jolly express guess what folks this will be my first ride here at bush gardens and i'm so excited i love trains it also looked like our entourage grew a little bit we
