What Disney Princesses Do For Christmas With A Holiday Cosmopolitan

What happens when a holiday cocktail meets a castle full of princesses? We kick off a month of Christmas specials with a park-inspired Holiday Cosmo and a globe-spanning tour of princess traditions that blends culture, comedy, and cozy storytelling.

We start with the Magic Kingdom’s Holiday Cosmo as our guide: vanilla vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry, lime, and a sugared rim. We share an easy home recipe and talk flavor: how vanilla rounds tart fruit, why the color skews blush instead of neon, and simple tweaks for batching or going zero-proof without losing the festive mood. From there, the sleigh takes off. Snow White harmonizes with forest friends and accidentally bakes forty pies. Cinderella observes midnight rituals in France and hosts a slipper-chic party after a wrapping spell goes wild. Pocahontas crafts light from berries and river stones. Mulan battles snarled lights like a seasoned general. Rapunzel becomes the tinsel queen and gifts lanterns under winter skies.

Our tour lands in Polynesia with Moana’s outrigger Santa and Maui’s fire-roasted feast, then dives undersea for Ariel’s clam-shell gifts and under-the-sea carols. Belle curates a marathon reading while Beast’s décor instincts falter and Mrs. Potts saves the evening with tea. Genie grants Agrabah a snow day as Raja topples trees with kitten enthusiasm. New Orleans swings with Tiana’s beignets, gumbo, and a jazz parade led by Louis. Scotland’s Merida hosts Highland holiday games featuring a decorated tree toss. In Arendelle, Anna cycles through sweaters and snowmen while Elsa turns the square into an ice-sculpture light show. We wrap with the Madrigal family’s chaotic sweetness—Bruno’s prophecies and Dolores’s supersonic Santa alerts—and Asha’s Mediterranean wishing-star cookies.

It’s a festive mix of cocktail craft, Disney nostalgia, cultural nods, and quick-witted bits that will spark your own tradition ideas. If you smiled, learned a trick for your next Cosmo, or found a new favorite princess moment, tap follow, leave a five-star review, and share this episode with a friend who loves Christmas and castles. Cheers!

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Today, we're discussing what the princesses would do with their holidays. And we're stepping on a holiday cosmo from Plaza Restaurant at Magic Kingdom. Welcome to Tears to Ears. We're gonna click our drinks. We're gonna toast. We're gonna toast and get our tears to it.

SPEAKER_00 0:30

Okay, so let's discuss this drink. Actually, why don't you give the details first?

Holiday Cosmo At Magic Kingdom

SPEAKER_01 0:34

Yeah, so the holiday cosmo from the Plaza restaurant at Magic Kingdom is made with Granger's Deluxe Organic Vanilla Vodka, Quantre Liqueur, cranberry and lime juices garnished with a sugar rim. And at$17.50, we're on.

SPEAKER_00 0:48

You got it all day.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

It's gonna be a great episode.

DIY Recipe And First Impressions

SPEAKER_00 0:50

So what we did is veil vanilla vodka. We went because it was cheap, and we need it for other drinks. So veil vanilla vodka, two ounces. We did one ounce of quantrow, one and a half ounces of cranberry juice, and a half ounce of lime juice. For a tasty delight. For a tasty little drink. I'm picking up more of the vanilla notes now.

unknown 1:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 1:15

Now that I've had a few sips on it.

SPEAKER_01 1:16

That's what I like about the drink is the vanilla. As I take another sip too.

SPEAKER_00 1:21

Yeah, it's just very good. It's got some of the fruitiness. It's not overly tart at all. The vanilla mellows it out. This is the first Cosmo, cosmopolitan I've ever had. Ever. Ever. Really? Yeah. Well, you know, sex in the city.

SPEAKER_01 1:37

Turned you off on it.

SPEAKER_00 1:39

Yeah, well, it's chick drink.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

Well, it sounds like it, and I guess that's the perception. It's a chick drink.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

Yeah, but we went with it here with the episode.

SPEAKER_01 1:49

Right. It's doesn't have the huge cranberry taste and a regular Cosmo has. Very cranberry-y.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

Yeah, and it's not. It's looking like a grapefruit juice color-wise. It's not real red. I was expecting bright red. But I think that's the don't they put grenadine in a normal cup? Sure.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 2:08

Somehow they make it more red.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

The last few Bartesian Cosmos is what I've had. So it's a capsule and it's a now.

SPEAKER_00 2:15

Are those really red?

SPEAKER_01 2:17

They're pretty red. Okay. But I think it has it's more cranberry forward. It takes that vanilla.

SPEAKER_00 2:23

Huh. That's interesting. Have to look that up.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

This is very good though. It's on the holiday menu. So it's one of the things you get during this holiday season.

SPEAKER_00 2:33

The holiday season, yes.

SPEAKER_01 2:34

At the plaza restaurants.

SPEAKER_00 2:35

We're kicking off a whole month of Christmas themed episodes.

SPEAKER_01 2:39

This is great.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:41

Yeah. This is our first one, and we're discussing what a princess would do with their holidays.

SPEAKER_00 2:46

Princess Christmas traditions.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

So we took separate ways, separate things we do. I went more with one-liners. I took your normal approach.

SPEAKER_00 2:55

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 2:56

You usually have the quick one-liners for everything.

SPEAKER_00 2:59

Yeah, and I think I might have still some of those. Of course you do. But mine are also hints to the movies. But yeah. So let's get into this.

SPEAKER_01 3:08

Let's get into it.

SPEAKER_00 3:09

Would you like to start?

Cosmo Myths, Color, And Variations

SPEAKER_01 3:10

I can start because my first two, I kind of dove a little more deeper. Okay. And then I went just to one-liners because it was taking a long time to prep for this one. Snow White's our first one.

SPEAKER_00 3:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

I said Snow White makes 40 pies for Christmas because she's just singing and having a good time and just gets lost. She doesn't need 40 pies.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

No.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

She just makes them because she's singing songs and making pies, and the day just gets away from her.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

And she gets a good gift from the dwarfs. They give her a great gift for Christmas. It's a homemade mug they made. Oh. And it's a coffee cup, and it says fairest of them all, even before coffee.

SPEAKER_00 3:48

That's good.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

That's all I have for Snow White.

Kicking Off Christmas Princess Traditions

SPEAKER_00 3:51

Okay. So Snow White, Germany-inspired Forest Kingdom. So when I put them in, I was like, where are they from? Because that helps when you come up with some traditions, is where they're from. Although I don't think it played into it except for a few of these. But anyway, spends most of her time walking through the forest singing Christmas carols while harmonizing with all the forest creatures. Oh. So yeah, so they're all singing together. Oh yeah. Like as they do.

SPEAKER_01 4:16

As they would.

SPEAKER_00 4:17

And then Snow White and Doc get together and they make anatomically correct gingerbread men. He's a doc's a stickler. Doc's a stickler.

SPEAKER_01 4:26

There's no other way to do it.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Correct. Gingerbread men.

Snow White: Pies, Carols, And Doc

SPEAKER_00 4:29

Anatomically correct. Okay, there's no other reason.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

Good. No other reason.

SPEAKER_00 4:33

It's just Doc.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

Just how he is.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

It's how he rolls. Okay, Cinderella.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Oh, good. This is going faster than I thought. I thought you were going to dive deep into their whole holiday.

SPEAKER_00 4:42

Okay. I have two, three talking points on each.

SPEAKER_01 4:44

Okay, so here's what she gets a couple presents, Cinderella does. For Dr Zella, she gets her singing lessons. Okay. But Dr Zella never uses them. Yeah. But she really needs them. Uh-huh. And Anastasia, she gets her mirror that gives her compliments all the time. Oh, okay. Only compliments. Nice. 100% of the time. And then the fairy godmother tries to cast a spell to wrap all the gifts in the house, but it fails. It fails on her, and all the wrapping paper turns into lifelike creatures that go around hugging everybody. Oh. Which may or may not be good. Yeah, it's a disaster. Yeah. Like the fairy godmother turns it into, and then she corrects it later. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. That is Cinderella. What's your Cinderella?

SPEAKER_00 5:31

So Cinderella from France is her region. So she goes to midnight mass, but she always has to leave a little bit early for midnight mass. That's a good one. Part of tradition. Well done. They have a party, but eggnog and hot chocolate are served in glass slippers at the party. Ooh. Yeah. They get take them home. Ooh. I think they're doing well enough that, yeah, they could send home a little party favor. Little party favor. Nice. The only downside is she spends a lot of time cleaning beforehand for the party. Right. A lot of time cleaning. She has help, but pretty obsessive. Yeah. Yeah. With the cleaning. So yeah, that's Cinderella having Christmas.

SPEAKER_01 6:11

That's funny. So next is Pocahontas, and this is where I started just the one-liners.

SPEAKER_00 6:15

Okay.

Cinderella: Spells, Slippers, And Parties

SPEAKER_01 6:15

So I just have one line and then one take, and I'm done for the rest of these. Pocahontas sings a Christmas version of Just Around the Bend. It's just a take on Grammiller's House we go. Uh-huh. The Christmas version of Just Around the Bend.

SPEAKER_00 6:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

Okay, you're Pocahontas.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

So Pocahontas from the Pohatan Territory, which is in Virginia. So create paint with all the colors of Christmas lights display using berries and glowing river rocks.

SPEAKER_01 6:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

Yeah. And then Christmas dinner is roasted raccoon. A little bit different of a protein that you don't normally eat, but for Christmas, you know. Roasted raccoon. And then, but they all have their thing that makes it a little difficult. So they're constantly dealing with wind blowing away Christmas presents and knocking ornaments off the tree. It just happens there. The wind is tricky with Pocahontas. So yeah, that is Pocahontas's Christmas traditions right there.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

Nice. Next we have Mulan. And Mulan spends Christmas defeating the only thing tougher than the Huns. Tangled holiday lights. That's tough. I have a couple holiday lights ones, I think.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

Yeah, that reminds me because somebody decorated early.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

Oh, no way. Doesn't she always?

SPEAKER_00 7:32

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 7:32

I don't think it's early if she's a little bit more than a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

And there was a ball of Christmas lights that weren't working, and yeah, it was funny because I was having flashbacks of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

SPEAKER_01 7:42

This is a great year for us because we have the permanent lights now.

SPEAKER_00 7:46

Oh, good.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

So we just flip it on the app to Christmas time.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

Excellent. Great. So Mulan? Yeah, yeah. China? Only one thing. Okay. So you remember the final scene in a Christmas story? Yeah, it looks a lot like that. You know, deck the heart with Bowser.

Rapid-Fire Princess Traditions Begin

Pocahontas And Mulan Holiday Bits

SPEAKER_01 8:08

I think of that scene every time with those uh things we send Asha. Yes. We'll talk about that later. Um, that's an inside joke. Yes, inside joke. Yeah. Once you started singing, yes. That's very good. You are the best impressionist on this show. I mean, you don't have much to beat.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

No. No, the the bar is very low. We set the bar on everything pretty low here. I know. It makes it easy to succeed. It's our calling card.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

It makes us feel like we succeed at things.

SPEAKER_00 8:36

So yeah, that's Mulan, China. Christmas.

SPEAKER_01 8:38

Mulan, China. Okay. So next is Rapunzel. Rapunzel. Rapunzel spends Christmas untangling tinsel, not lights.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 8:48

And then her hair from the tinsel.

SPEAKER_00 8:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

So Rapunzel from Germany, another German story here, hangs at least 90 feet of tinsel.

SPEAKER_01 8:59

Both tinsel.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

Yes. You can now decorate her. And she is the tinsel queen. And it's really long tinsel, she goes with. She bakes gingerbread people with very long hair braids.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

Okay.

Rapunzel, Moana, And Lanterns

SPEAKER_00 9:11

And then everyone, so this is after Christmas dinner, she gives everyone a lantern as a gift. And they release them after Christmas dinner. And that's part of their oh, just a tradition. Yeah, that's part of their tradition.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

That's fun.

SPEAKER_00 9:24

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

Very serious note there.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

It's very touching. It is touching.

SPEAKER_01 9:29

Sometimes they're touching, sometimes they're maybe we should have some like touching music behind when you could. Like like Jack Handy kind of music. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, Moana. Moana spends Christmas navigating the ocean of wrapping paper like it's a whole new voyage. That's all I got.

SPEAKER_00 9:46

So Moana from the Polynesian Islands. Motunui, I guess, is the island.

SPEAKER_01 9:52

How'd you find that?

SPEAKER_00 9:54

Chat GPT helped me find that.

SPEAKER_01 9:56

Did they say that in the movie at all?

SPEAKER_00 9:58

No, but there are times where if you do backstory, like if you Google backstories on these, you can find backstory.

SPEAKER_01 10:05

Very interesting.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

So they hold uh coconut and Carol's luau.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:11

Yeah. Nice little luau.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Yeah.

Aurora Naps, Ariel Undersea Gifts

SPEAKER_00 10:13

Slightly different traditions. Santa arrives via outrigger canoe instead of a sleigh and is pulled by mana ray instead of reindeer.

SPEAKER_01 10:21

Oh, so how does he go inland? Does he have a canoe waiting for him? He drops his sled off and gets the canoe.

SPEAKER_00 10:28

Well, you know, they don't have necessarily they wouldn't have fireplaces or chimneys. Maybe he just leaves them on the beach.

SPEAKER_01 10:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:36

Maybe the outrigger canoe flies in the mana race. Maybe he does. Yeah. Just like with the real sleigh and the real flying reindeer.

SPEAKER_01 10:42

It's just a tradition I haven't heard of. It's a magic. And I love Christmas tradition.

SPEAKER_00 10:45

So yes. So Maui roasts the pig for Christmas dinner by turning into a giant fire-breathing lizard. Nobody really understands it. It just, but that is how it happens.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

Oh, it's fun. Yeah. That's why he does it.

SPEAKER_00 10:59

Yeah. Why not? Who doesn't like a giant fire-breathing lizard?

SPEAKER_01 11:03

And then because it tastes better.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

Yeah. After a good char.

SPEAKER_01 11:07

Right. A great char.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

On that. Perfect temperature. On that roast pig. Yeah. All right. Next Aurora.

SPEAKER_01 11:14

Aurora. She spends Christmas trying not to fall asleep before the cookies come out of the oven.

SPEAKER_00 11:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

Mine's pretty close to that as well. So, and I only have one tradition with her. It's Aurora, who's Sleeping Beauty from medieval Europe. So she falls into a food coma after Thanksgiving, which leaves all the decorating, gift buying, and food prep to Prince Philip.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:38

He has to handle everything for Christmas. But it works. He does it? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:44

Oh, good.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

And she can't complain. She's the one who slept. Right. From November till December for a month. So you get what you get. You don't throw a fit. So Ariel.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

Ariel spends Christmas trying to use Dingle Hopper to hang ornaments. Oh. She always does every year and never works. Crazy Ariel.

SPEAKER_00 12:05

Yeah. Crazy. So Ariel, Denmark, okay, and Under the Sea. So this is interesting because, like, some of these I didn't know. I didn't know that Ariel Little Mermaid was a Denmark myth, legend, story.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

I didn't know that either.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

So the cookies, it's tradition to leave cookies out for Santa. For her, it's actually they leave out crab cakes.

Belle’s Books, Be Our Guest Tea

SPEAKER_01 12:28

Interesting.

SPEAKER_00 12:28

Yeah, they aren't Sebastian, but they are crab cakes.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

Interesting. What's how does he feel about that?

SPEAKER_00 12:34

Well, yeah. They change up the words to some of the like it's jingle shells.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

Okay, I like that.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Instead of jingle bells. It's the Christmas traditions that most people observe, but it's under the sea. So it's a little tweaks with Ariel. And then the gift boxes are all just giant clam shells. Oh, good. Yeah, that's easy. Yeah. And they recycle. Yeah. We use them year after year. So yeah, good job with facing climate change, which affects them more, I think, a little bit being under the sea.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

This is kind of off topic from that. But we had this. So I'm not a great Christmas rapper. I don't like wrapping presents. I don't do it. I'm really bad at it. And so we have this big blue tin.

SPEAKER_00 13:26

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 13:26

I got for a Christmas present at one year.

SPEAKER_00 13:29

Is it one of those Danish cookie?

SPEAKER_01 13:31

It looks kind of like that, but it's a Christmas tin.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

It's made for to put a gift in. It says like to and from on it. Oh, okay. But I use that every year for a present. Oh, okay. You just have to close the lid. Put some paper in there, close the lid, done.

SPEAKER_00 13:46

See, that's why I like the gift bag.

SPEAKER_01 13:48

I know. The gift bag is one of the best inventions.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

A little tissue and gift bag, and you're good to go.

SPEAKER_01 13:54

I can't. I don't even do the tissue right.

Jasmine’s Winter Wonder In Agrabah

SPEAKER_00 13:58

I finally. And this comes from working in an industry that's predominantly women, where you have to learn how to do the Christmas tissue right. You get harassed if you don't. So I get harassed. Yeah. But that's okay. It's just by your family and friends. You just have to just deal with it.

SPEAKER_01 14:15

So next one up, Belle from Belle. Guess what Belle does? She spends Christmas checking out all the books. Uh-huh. Mostly just to reach the mistletoe. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:27

So uh Belle from France. France. France. So you know how on like different channels they'll do 24 hours of elf or Christmas movies? Yeah. Well, she has a little bit different of a tradition. It's 24 hours twas the night before Christmas, marathon reading. Just reading it over and over and over again.

SPEAKER_01 14:51

She just reads it over and over again.

SPEAKER_00 14:52

So that everybody can just show up when they can and they get to hear it. So there you go. So Beast interferes a lot with the decorating. Mostly bad ideas. He just doesn't have a good take on decorating, interior decorating.

SPEAKER_01 15:06

He's always had people for that.

SPEAKER_00 15:07

He has people for that.

SPEAKER_01 15:08

Yeah.

Tiana’s Beignets And Jazz Parade

SPEAKER_00 15:09

So they have a Christmas Eve tradition of a holiday tea put on by Mrs. Potts. And all the townsfolk are invited. Oh, yeah. They have to leave their pitchforks and whatnot at home, but they are all invited. That's a good idea. Yeah, they made peace with the townsfolk.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

I like how you have a lot of parties.

SPEAKER_00 15:26

Oh, yeah. You gotta have a lot of parties for team.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

You're very Christmas party for it. I love it.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

Yeah. And just the different takes in the cultures of their parties from a glass slipper to leave your pitchfork at home party. Yeah. I love it. And have some tea. Right. Or Mrs. Potts. Okay. Jasmine's next.

SPEAKER_00 15:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

She spends her whole Christmas reminding Aladdin that a wish for more presents still is not allowed.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

Okay. Nice. Okay. So Jasmine Agrabah, which is a fictional Middle Eastern desert kingdom. So not a place that they necessarily celebrate Christmas. But for the sake of our argument, they're going to celebrate Christmas. So Apu gives everyone gifts that he stole from the market. Okay. Yeah. And they don't like it, but it's well.

SPEAKER_01 16:17

Silly Apooh. It stole a gifts.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

Stole some gifts. But Jeannie, he, because he's always invited. He's always there. He transforms Agrabah into a winter wonderland. So for like one day a year, it's they always get to have a white Christmas. That's a perfect. And that's great. Right. Middle of the desert, white Christmas. Raja, the tiger. Yeah, he on average destroys about 14 Christmas trees a year playing with the ornaments. You know, cats and kittens with Christmas tree ornaments. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:50

Can't help it.

SPEAKER_00 16:50

So you can't blame him. It's his inner kitty smacking around the but he's got some more strength than the average kitten. House cat. Yeah. And so he doesn't know it. No. He doesn't know his strength. And them being the sultan and the sultaness or what whatever the female sultan is called.

SPEAKER_01 17:07

I like it. I like sultaness.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

They can afford more Christmas trees, which I would guess have to be shipped in from somewhere far away. Weren't they?

SPEAKER_01 17:16

Yeah, they probably have them all decorated on the ready.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Yeah.

Merida Games And Scottish Carols

SPEAKER_01 17:19

So when you pass one over, they just plop a new one down. Yeah, they have guys.

SPEAKER_00 17:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 17:24

Christmas tree guys. That's their job.

SPEAKER_00 17:25

Yeah, that's their job.

SPEAKER_01 17:26

They're in a room with a Christmas tree ready to go.

SPEAKER_00 17:28

As soon as it's shredded to a certain point.

SPEAKER_01 17:31

Right. They're like the pit crew.

SPEAKER_00 17:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:34

At a NASCAR event.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

Dre Drake.

SPEAKER_00 17:37

Tiana.

SPEAKER_01 17:38

Next one up. Tiana. Tiana spends Christmas turning her kitchen into a swamp. A swamp of holiday treats.

SPEAKER_00 17:45

That's that's a good one. So Tiana, New Orleans, USA. So these will be a little more familiar, yet different. Yeah, different. Okay. So she serves an eggnog flavored dipping sauce for the beignets.

unknown 17:59

Okay.

Anna Sweaters, Elsa Ice Spectacle

SPEAKER_00 18:00

Yeah, yeah. That could work. That does sound good. There's a Christmas jazz parade led by Louis the Alligator. Nice. You know, that's very popular in the city. Nice. Christmas dinner is a big pot of gumbo. And Santa, again, like with the little mermaid giving out crab cakes instead of cookies, she gives out beignets instead of cookies. It just makes sense. That's an easy one. Yeah. Why wouldn't you? And I think, honestly, I think this is one of Santa's favorite stops. It would be. Yeah, New Orleans. Because lots of beignets. Right. He's from he's leaving Texas and going there fast. I bet Santa stops in New Orleans last. Do you think so? Every year. For the beignets. I wonder if we can.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

I bet we can find NORAD probably has an exact map of how he flies.

SPEAKER_00 18:48

Oh, quite possibly. We should look that up. We should look that up.

SPEAKER_01 18:50

I don't know his exact route. They probably know more, but maybe changes it up in case of like pirates. Yeah. I had one question. No, I have a statement. Okay. Tiana's needs to have a Christmas overlay. That would be cool. I like that. I was just thinking of her handing out beignets.

SPEAKER_00 19:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:09

And a parade.

SPEAKER_00 19:10

You know, though, they would probably only do it on one coast. And I have a feeling that would be at Disney World, and so I'd never get to see it. Just like Jingle Cruise. For the Jungle Cruise. Yeah. But that's a good idea. I would be all for that.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

That's a good idea.

SPEAKER_00 19:26

I'm for holiday overlays.

SPEAKER_01 19:28

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:28

I love them.

SPEAKER_01 19:29

There's not a bad one.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

No.

SPEAKER_01 19:31

It's the only acceptable small world.

SPEAKER_00 19:33

In fact, it makes small world okay ride.

SPEAKER_01 19:37

Right.

SPEAKER_00 19:37

Okay, ride.

SPEAKER_01 19:38

It makes it just barely the worst ride. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

Well, I mean, there's other worst rides, but I will get on, willingly get on Small World when it's got the Christmas overlay. Yeah. Because it's Christmas music and the decorations. It's very beautiful in there. And I love Christmas music. So yeah, it's acceptable.

SPEAKER_01 20:00

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 20:00

So moving right along, Merida.

SPEAKER_01 20:02

Merida. She spends Christmas laying her hair down. And her arrows fly at anything that moves.

SPEAKER_00 20:09

So it's still hunting season.

SPEAKER_01 20:10

Yeah, it's always hunting season. There's not a non-hunting season.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

So Merida, Scotland, which I'm sure everybody knew. I thought I'd do a Scottish accent. I was waiting. I'm horrible at Scottish accents. And I'm partially Scottish, but I just can't do it. So anyway, they they host leading up to Christmas the Highland Hogmany Games. Featuring decorated Christmas tree toss. So you know how they'll toss logs at the Highland Games. Right. They do them outside of Portland. They have Highland games. But it's a decorated Christmas tree toss instead of just a big log toss. They get together and they bake bear-shaped snickerdoodles. Which a Snickerdoodle shaped in any way is thumbs up for me. I love a good Snickerdoodle. They sing Christmas carols, but they've got such a thick Scottish accent that nobody realizes that they're actually Christmas carols. Unless you're from Scotland, you just think that it's a bunch of Scottish people singing. Right. Yeah. You can't just hear through that accent. So that's Merida celebrating Christmas in Scotland.

SPEAKER_01 21:19

That's hilarious. Now we have the Frozen Sisters.

SPEAKER_00 21:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

So first up we have Anna. Uh-huh. She spends Christmas singing carols. Whether anyone wants to hear them or not.

SPEAKER_00 21:31

Yeah, yeah. That's that would be Anna. Anna. Sorry. Sorry, Anna.

unknown 21:37

Anna.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

So Anna, Arendale, which is Norway inspired. Scandinavian. So she kind of pisses off everyone because she won't come inside and stop building snowmen. Like all Christmas. That's what she's doing. She's really into Christmas sweaters. She's got a different sweater for each day. Some days she wears two.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

Oh, okay. And quick change.

SPEAKER_00 22:02

She loves her Christmas sweaters.

SPEAKER_01 22:03

That's a good tradition to have.

SPEAKER_00 22:05

She's a horrible gift giver, though. Really? Yeah. Which, if you're into your Christmas sweaters and now building snowman, you don't leave yourself much time to go get Christmas gifts. But she generally just gives everyone a gift certificate to the Oaken spa.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

I knew you were going to mention the open spa. She started talking. I knew that was gonna come up in these next two.

SPEAKER_00 22:28

But that's you know, after the holidays, you need to relax, head out to the oaken spa.

SPEAKER_01 22:32

That's hilarious because I was waiting for it. So her sister Elsa, she does one thing at Christmas, she just spends it chilling. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like really chilling. Like that's what she does. Every time you can't get eggnog around her because she freezes it every time.

SPEAKER_00 22:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

It kind of sucks.

SPEAKER_00 22:49

Yeah. Yeah. What happens? So with Elsa, my traditions, she creates a really cool snowflake light show for everyone. You know, being the queen, she's good to her people, and she gives them this great light show. Oh, yeah. Snowflakes. Because she's zapping snowflakes, huge ones. Sounds good. Amazing. The decorations are incredible because it's all ice sculptures. Christmas themed ice sculptures. And she loves Let It Snow, the Christmas song, and she just sings it nonstop.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

Oh, good. That's a good song.

SPEAKER_00 23:25

And not like Let It Go, but like Let It Snow. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Yeah, she does that.

SPEAKER_01 23:32

Yeah, that's a good question. I hope she does a Burl Ives snowman sculpture.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

That'd be my one of my favorite ice sculptures you can have.

SPEAKER_00 23:41

Yeah. She does them so fast. She can take requests.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 23:46

Yeah. So it's just asking, hey, Elsa, can I get a little Burl Ives here?

SPEAKER_01 23:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:54

Yeah. Cool.

SPEAKER_01 23:55

SPEAKER_01 25:01

She spends Christmas trying to save the Columbia. Mirabelle spends Christmas trying to save the family traditions.

SPEAKER_00 25:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:09

But she accidentally breaks half of them, too.

SPEAKER_00 25:12

Yeah. Yeah. So I got a little excited saying Columbia. So the traditions Bruno predicts what presents everyone will get and spoils Christmas.

SPEAKER_01 25:25

Oh, that jerk.

SPEAKER_00 25:26

And then he gets banished by abuela.

SPEAKER_01 25:29

That's why you don't talk about him.

Mirabel’s Traditions And Bruno

SPEAKER_00 25:30

We don't talk about Christmas, no, no, no. And then Dolores hears Santa from 120 miles away. So she knows, she tells everybody, hey, get in bed. He's coming. I can hear him coming.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

She has a lot of Santa Claus qualities.

SPEAKER_00 25:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:45

She knows when people are sleepy, knows when they're awake. Wow.

SPEAKER_00 25:48

She doesn't really know when they've been bad or good. That might be more Bruno's.

SPEAKER_01 25:52

But you can hear if they're saying bad or good things. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

Oh, that's true. That's true. That's true.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

Yeah, she has some Santa qualities. Our last one.

SPEAKER_00 25:59

Yeah. Osha. Osha. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 26:02

Asha spends Christmas sprinkling magic on the eggnog and negotiating with the gingerbread villagers for better cookie rights.

SPEAKER_00 26:10

Nice. So she's from Rosas, which is a fantastical Mediterranean kingdom. Okay. Ibiza. So it's Spain, Mediterranean, Spanish area. This is a real place. Yes, this is a real place. Ibiza. So anyway, their traditions. They make wishing star cookies. They all get together. And they have a lot of traditions. While they're all very nice, they're all kind of largely forgettable, much like the movie.

SPEAKER_01 26:39

I know. You all said, who are they? What's this princess they're talking about? Yes. When we first started talking about it.

Asha, Wishing Stars, And Closing Cheers

SPEAKER_00 26:44

Princess Asha, who they rushed that movie out, which is unfortunate. It's got a couple of good songs. It's got a couple horrible songs. It's not a bad movie. Not a bad movie. But they did rush it. There's a lot of Easter eggs to the history of Walt Disney movies.

SPEAKER_01 27:01

Right.

SPEAKER_00 27:02

Yeah. So it's a really good one. Really good one to pick up on the Easter eggs. But yeah, they just didn't do a good job with it. No. Rushed it out. And that's our list. That's our list of what Christmas is happening, how it's happening with the princesses. And the first of our Christmas episodes. Yes. So next week, another one. Another one. Yep. Cheers. Till then. Cheers.
