 Hey friends and happy holidays tonight. I am hanging out at Disney Springs I'm gonna be showing you all of my favorite holiday happenings at the Springs this year Including an adult version of milk and cookies at the holiday bar some really nifty holiday photo pass offerings And of course all the Christmas music and lights. So let's go do this I Feel like Disney Springs is doing a real good job this year as it comes to the holiday offerings later on tonight This area is gonna get all lit up and we're even gonna have some snow my favorite Disney Springs is actually hosting me tonight and it's giving me a better opportunity to be able to show you all these cool Festivities, so thank you to them. I'm so appreciate of it. And now I just kind of really want to enjoy all the holiday offerings Luckily tonight, I'm actually not by myself. I have a friend with me Jackie super enthused So we're gonna enjoy all the holiday festivities tonight. Are you excited always always excited? I think the first thing I'm gonna do is actually head on over to the Disney photo pass studio and get my picture Taken with the holiday backdrops including a virtual Santa I like to do that first because you know you're you're in the best condition when you first arrive at the Springs or at the Park so photos first is always a good way to go Here is a couple of the holiday backdrops that they have Including the virtual Santa one right here. Take a look at that. That really looks real like Santa's actually in the photo with you But he's not it's actually all done by a green screen backdrop So I'm excited to see what this looks like I really appreciate the fact that they have this opportunity here because you know It's gonna be real hard to get those classic Santa photos this year because of the social distancing and everything like that So a virtual Santa, that's the way I like it And just because we're taking virtual pictures with Santa doesn't mean Santa Claus isn't at Disney Springs this year He's actually here and he's actually going about in a boat So we're gonna actually find them and see if we can get a quick hello. We're happy holidays Merry Christmas It was so cool seeing Santa floating on the water did you hear him? I think he looked right at me and said Merry Christmas. I also have to say if you're gonna be hearing any jingling It's because I've got this wonderful sipper. Yeah hanging around my neck It makes a little jingle jingle jingle jingle Now that we have officially got our photos with Santa Claus and seen the big guy himself I think we're gonna get something to eat and probably those milking cookies the adult version from Joclins these holiday bar. I'm so excited. They even have holiday food offerings. So this is like the best of both worlds I've already done a video once here this year when I came and did the Christmas tree trail which actually you should check out I'll put that in the description But when I seen they had an adult version of milking cookies. I knew I had to come back This place is so festive. I absolutely love it. We got a table right in the corner And it's so funny because you kind of look out. It's like the perfect viewing area of all the decorations right here in the corner Look at little Santa Claus and then all of this Like holy moly, right? Oh, I cannot wait to get some holiday drinks and food Here is a look at all the holiday specialties. We've got deviled eggs Grandma's favorite Sniders, which I actually might end up getting and then they have the milking cookies by fire aside, that is gonna be our dessert $25 and look at all you get though. I mean, I'm excited because I've never actually had coquito Did I say that right? I've been practicing Because the coquito is kind of like a actual eggnog drink I'm not gonna get Joc's eggnog because that's like the most famous thing here instead I'm gonna get myself a Christmas Pringle and it's like a cranberry beer And then I'm gonna get grandma's sliders and then like I said for dessert. We're gonna have milking cookies Cheers And there they are grandma's sliders. Look at that. Oh, they smell so delicious. I just got like a big waf of air Oh, wow, that is so cool It's so funny because I got grandma's sliders and Jackie got Papa Noel's Churrosco They're basically just venison sliders with cranberry jam, lettuce and tomato I mean, that's really nutty, right? And they're pretty big like that's not like a slider slider I would say that's like a full-size burger Like look at the size of them. They're so big actually any hoos I gotta try this because this smell is literally just driving me insane This was so so good I don't know how I felt about the cranberry jam at first, but afterwards I really really enjoyed it Jackie's looks good, too. Yeah, very good. Yeah The food was absolutely delicious. I love my sliders and Jackie loved her Papa's whatever Churrosco, it's really really good, but now it's time for the milk and cookies by the fire side I am so excited. Like I said, this is more of an alcoholic adult version of milk and cookies But regardless, this is right on my alley Here it is the milk and cookies with the coquito, which is basically like a Eggnog an alcoholic eggnog. I heard it's a little bit stronger and we actually got One craft and then we get to you know share and then all of the cookies are three and three, so I'm very excited to try this And I'm gonna try to just stick my guy right in here. Oh, look at them. Oh, he's gonna slide in there perfectly. Oh, look at that Wow, this is how you eat milk and cookies, right? Yeah. Oh look at oh wow I Guess I'm going feet first All look at it's getting so much better Honestly, I absolutely love this I really really do and it's good to dip them I don't think that was gonna be a good thing, but wow They are so good the cookies are a little hard to get all of them sitting there a little bit longer Just so they can soak it up, but man I'm so excited to try the coquito afterwards after dipping all the cookies So Jackie actually started off with the Christmas tree I ate all of mine except for the Christmas tree, but I can already tell you that one is my favorite And it's got a little Mickey on it too. You see that hands down my favorite So now we're gonna have to top off the coquito now Super sweet Now I think we're gonna move along because it's gotten a lot darker out and I can tell things are getting a little bit more Mary and bright out there, and I'm excited to see some fake snow It definitely got darker out here just like I was waiting for it because now we get to see all the pretty Christmas lights I can also turn on my lights for my Mickey bells zipper You can get this at BB Wolfs down here, and I think they sell it at Hollywood Studios So I was excited to grab it when I seen it. Oh, it looks like some toy soldiers are out here, too Oh happy holidays Happy holidays All right now they're just showing off over here. Oh boy. We're running over because it's starting to snow Oh, I gotta get there. I gotta get there. Oh look at this To rock the night away Jingle bell time. It's this swell time to go riding in a one horse sleigh. Oh I absolutely love snow and they're really throwing it out here. Oh This is great This is so awesome to be covered in snow You know, I don't know anywhere else that walk Disney World where you can experience this now I know that they're still doing it in the Frozen show, but they used to do it at Hollywood Studios at Magic Kingdom I feel like this is the only place where you can just finally hang out and get snow And it's definitely a lot. Look at this is so awesome to know that they just keep the snow machines running like just constantly I can hang out here for hours, but there's still a lot of ground to cover here And there's a lot more holiday stuff to go about now. We're seeing all the Christmas lights turn on and the ornaments these change colors Wow beautiful I See some more holiday performers just like the toy soldiers that are walking around on stilts. Look at these festive ice skaters Oh, yeah, look at them go Wow Santa approved It's so cool to see kind of like street performers just roaming around the spring But now I think we're gonna try to get ourselves another holiday beverage And I know that the different Disney Springs bar like pop-up little spots actually have some special holiday cocktails Right here are the signature cocktails to have a fireside cider Which I think I'm gonna go with that a little bit of Stoli vanilla vodka fireball cinnamon whiskey white cranberry juice Wow, this seems really really good. And then they have a mistletoe and a yule meal Very clever Right outside docks on margaritas. We found a wonderful place to come and enjoy our drinks with the little heaters Oh, yeah, this is so beautiful and they're actually playing Christmas music. Thank you Yeah We're excited for more more Christmas Merry Christmas Another reason why this is such an amazing thing right now. It's like I said, we have the space heaters It's 48 degrees out tonight. So that's why Jackie's got the scarf on It's nice to just keep a little warm That was such a great place to sit down and relax and actually if you're there They have a margarita stand and that margarita stand has a holiday drink called the police Navidad We didn't get that because we actually got the cider drink and then sat over there But now we're gonna move along Kelly was fantastic with the Christmas music so so so happy They also have a little performance area here and they have a DJ kind of like playing some of the Christmas hits like remixed It's very pretty over here and I like the green and red lights Since we were sitting actually by the fire for a while We decided we wanted to get maybe a hot beverage So we're gonna go over to wine bar George where they actually have a mulled wine Which is kind of like a hot wine and that would be a wonderful drink to just kind of warm up to and they don't offer it all You're long they just started offering it for the holiday season And here it is the most wonderful wine of the year the mulled wine is back I'm so excited and take a look at all the decorations at wine bar George It's a very pretty area and they have all of their eaters on too. Oh, this is just a great season Here's the mulled wine for you guys nice and fresh and hot alright. Thanks Colin Wine Now Colin said this is basically like Christmas in a cup. I'm so excited I don't think I've ever had this now Jackie's had it before and she raves about it. Oh, she raves about it. Oh Oh Wow There's so much happening in that step and it's hot and it's delicious definitely keeps your hands warm. I like it I really enjoy my first mulled wine. It kind of reminds me of like an apple pie for some reason why It is good though and it's thick and it's hot really good It's important to say that they actually don't offer that mulled wine all year round This is a seasonal thing just for cold weather and for the holidays and I absolutely loved it So now we're gonna move along and see what other holiday festivities we can get going and since we're over here We might as well take a peek inside the ganache and see what kind of holiday offerings They got going on here. Very good chocolate Just take a look at all that chocolate. Holy moly, right? I just feel like really Wonka. Oh, and they're doing such great things back there They are done in a milk chocolate and they're painted with cocoa butter on the back. There is a Mickey and a Minnie Mouse Oh Then we have this is called the Olaf surprise. It's Kind of like our version of the what's all the rage right now those cocoa bomb things This is on that idea you melt him in your hot milk and cream and he starts to melt and as you melt He releases all the hot cocoa powder that's inside of him Oh with little snow flurries of fresh-made marshmallows. That's awesome Even with all that fancy stuff. They actually have an eight-knock ganache. I gotta try it gotta try it Right there. That is the chocolate bourbon eight-knock Look how festive they look Look at the little packaging here. So we got one for me and one for Jackie. I'm sighted. I really want to try it Look at it. It's just like a little tiny thing eight-knock and bourbon. This is gonna be good Just so good absolutely amazing. I love ganache Now we're gonna hop over into STK because Tis the season is a name of a special drink that they have and plus we can use a snacky poo You know something that's really funny. It's me and Jackie both haven't been in here since the opening day of Disney Springs Right. This was the first place we actually Dined at and they were having special like welcome back Yeah, thank you like a cocktail like a whole thing. So it's nice to come back now. Tis the season. Yeah It is a beautiful restaurant in here though. I absolutely love all of the decor and the pretty lights Not only do they have the Tis the season cocktail but they do have December specials and some of these look absolutely amazing including a Holiday surf and turf which is actually a filet a king crab a main lobster and also some black truffles That sounds pretty amazing Here it is Tis the season take a look at that Wow That is like perfection And here it is Tis the season they actually make their own Marshmallow syrup here like they toast it and make it and what are you doing? I'm having a candlelight processional for you Is that gonna win the best drink of the night wow I knew it Right when it hits you and then that dreamy drink the marshmallow is like helpful This drink is just so good like I said the best holiday drink of the night. I love it I absolutely love the Tis the season cocktail. We also got some truffle fries that were amazing I wanted to get maybe something from like the festive menu But I don't think I can handle like a big big dinner definitely gonna come back here and check out some of those items But overall I really loved the Tis the season that was a delicious delicious holiday drink and look at the little STK Christmas tree. It's so cute. I like it, but I think we're gonna need to move along And with that I think we are calling it a night Thank you again to Disney Springs for inviting me out to give you guys a look at some of the cool holiday offerings We tried a lot of cool holiday food some holiday treats some holiday drinks And even some holiday entertainment, so I Hope you enjoyed the video.
