there's thousands upon thousands of lights in here this is so cool and i saw betty the yeti is that
a past fling or a relative oh two out of ten on that no way it is no longer the spooky season here
at Busch Gardens it is the Christmas season it is Christmas Town time i always say my two favorite
times to come and visit busch gardens is for halloween and for christmas they really go all out
here the christmas lights it's totally different than anywhere else so walk it in we have a giant
christmas tree here now the christmas town event operates from november 12th until january 2nd
first thing we see is a frosty as soon as we walk in they are frosty and you know we gotta go take a
picture of frosty it's merry chrysler okay quick merch rundown before we head in they have the
shirt that i got here last year what do they have down here mary and bright with a little penguin
this is a long sleeve bush gardens they have christmas town snow globe christmas town mugs
this is kind of like an ugly sweater it says mary bright oh merry and bright ain't nobody got time
for that put them christmas lights now they do have a red version this year we have a christmas
town fleece throw i love little beanies but it's just too hot here in florida what does this say
f-a-l oh fa la la with um some christmas lights on it i like that now this is new this year they
have like uh the changing colored santa hat they have little like i guess lanterns you can
buy you can buy a rudolph light up nose that you can wear they have a mystery pin rudolph
collection i wonder what the chaser is now they do have all sorts of animals here so they have
animal christmas ornaments they have an elephant a tiger they have different nutcrackers but this
is new this year it's a giant like pin set but it's a train set it says busch gardens
express if you buy them all you can connect the pin set this is the most confident mannequin i've
ever seen in my entire life marion bright at busch gardens there's some more christmas town ornaments
even more christmas birch over here this is crazy how much they have they now have a bubble wands of
the abominable snowman that you can get where he lights up i don't know what radioactive snow cone
he was served but uh he's glowing you can buy a rudolph the red-nosed reindeer onesie for your kid
they have a little collectible figure for rudolph it's so it says sea world and busch gardens at the
bottom you can buy a thick abominable snowman he's wearing a nice little sweater they have rudolph
the red-nosed reindeer docking and now this is you can get a robe here it's like a fuzzy robe you
couldn't wear this out of a shower because it just soak up all the uh moisture but i think if you're
relaxing you can wear one of these i don't know if the pants match really with that they have so many
different types rudolph the redness reindeer mugs little snow globes and they have just so
many ornaments there's too much christmas stuff to show and then they have a whole store that's
like not ip based of just christmas merchandise that you can decorate your house they have these
spectacles when you look at the lights it'll make like reindeers or you'll see you'll see snowmen
when you're walking through now we're walking in they have finally given us a opening date
not officially the date we finally have an opening month for iron guazing iron glossy's been finished
probably like a year and a half right and we have been waiting for this coaster for so long
that opening march 2022 iron guazi will be gracing us with this terrifying presence i love that this
whole area is decorated with the purple and green light for iron guazi all right so we are hungry
we're heading off to the christmas town village first to get some food to eat here we go christmas
town village oh no we missed it so once every saturday they have holidays in the sky we're here
on a friday i didn't know that so come here on a saturday and you get to experience the fireworks
look at all these lights every single inch of these trees is covered by the first stand of
the day is we're gonna be going to stand number four dashers deli and we're gonna be getting
something that's new this year the tachos so it's gonna have smoked brisket sweet potato tater tots
bacon onion jam with a beer cheese with green onions on top all right here's a big whomp of it
the tops aren't as crispy or crunchy as i'd like them and the tops seem to be cooked a
little longer it's decent i think i'll do like a 7.5 on it all right the next stand we're
going to is number five it's gonna be winter donuts and bites again something new this year
chicken and donut we gotta see how it is so it's gonna be a buttermilk crispy chicken
smoked bacon maple glazed donut with mike hot honey drizzle now i see what you're trying to do
here busch gardens on the menu doesn't say there's pickles on there so i thought i was safe but no
underneath the donuts you have hidden the pickles have been taken off when it comes to
the chicken here it's always kind of a hit and miss right all right so it's savory and sweet
i didn't think i was going to be saying this it's a massive but 10 out of 10. holy crap
the donut was great it wasn't too mapley there was a perfect blend of everything
chicken tender was nice and hot and fresh and juicy and crispy normally when it comes to the
maple donuts and like chicken stuff they never work out they're always too messy that was like
the right amount of mess where you're not like oh i can't eat this but you're like oh this is
good get that chicken donut if you were here they have some wonderful live music over here
we have the the sampler card so the sampler card is the way to go right so you can get eight items
for uh fifty dollars twelve items for sixty five dollars or if you're an annual pass holder here
or you can get 15 items for 65 so i always say for these events and festivals you need to buy
one of these because in the long run it just makes sense i would go with the 12 item one because once
you start eating stuff and drinking stuff they're gone before you know it so go with the 12 item one
all right the next one of the day is gonna be the frosty fair we're going to be getting bison chili
mac and cheese so it's going to be bison chili sam adams beer cheese with parmesan crumbs on
top now i like bison i've just never had a bison mac and chili mac and cheese the mac and cheese is
always kind of hitting the mist it's got a little bit of a kick afterwards a nice like smokiness
to the um bison we'll do six out of ten all right so jordan got the loaded mashed potatoes heritage
smoked pulled pork red bliss potatoes green onions hooks cheddar sour cream with a chipotle drizzle
a lot going on in there moment of truth the pulled pork is really good but you were right
about the mashed potatoes what's your official review jordan six out of ten hello paparazzi
hi all right we're gonna go to the garland gate cafe i'm gonna be getting the apple
cider barbecue chicken slider it's gonna have apple cider barbecue pulled chicken served on
a garlic butter bun so now it's time we got the uh this chicken here doesn't look the most glamorous
that's average i finished the little chicken sandwich you know they advertised a special
like garlic bun it just tastes like a standard bun the chicken inside kind of tastes like if
you've ever ever gone to the grocery store like the jack daniels pulled chicken that you can buy
a microwave that's what it tasted like not a fan i think we're gonna drop it down to a 5.5
it's just yeah all right we're also thinking about the impossible nachos
so it's gonna have impossible meat on it but it's also gonna have blue corn tortillas smashed
avocado smoked chipotle sour cream with cheese okay it is nacho time they loaded this puppy up
with everything we got a little avocado crema in there wow mmm there's a lot of heat in there
get the avocado to kind of cool it down right the chips are nice and fresh and crunchy i love the
cheese on top this is good let me get a little more in there yeah the impossible meat has a
wonderful seasoning to it i think it's 8.5 on it a lot better than that chicken i don't know what
that was all right awesome you got gingerbread ice cream let's see your womp on it uh-huh
it kind of tastes like uh how i would picture like potpourri tasting what it's not very good
oh
no oh no i don't like that at all oh oh it tastes like the end of a burnt gingerbread candle
oh two out of ten on that no way there it goes bye bye all right over here they have story time
with mrs claus here's the time the next one isn't for like 45 minutes so we might come
back see what mrs claus is telling all right it's officially nighttime and as you can see
all the lights are now popping here at busch gardens tampa i brought you guy harvey fans
out here you can meet him on december 4th and 5th we're going to go visit the poinsettia
princess over here are you having a jolly good time oh jolly good time absolutely
so what is your favorite type of christmas food to eat i'd have to say mrs claus is christmas cookies
sugar cookies oh classic favorite you can't go wrong with that can't go wrong
i love the classic there's other princesses that we can meet vice princess there's the
sugar plum princess okay is there anything we should tell them i love them both so much just
tell them that i said hello hi we are heading in to the christmas lights i love this that they're
hanging from uh the tree feels like i'm in like pandora or something now you can get your own
exclusive wax figure here of a snowman for busch gardens christmas town now they have
a sesame street holiday show going on but it's for the a very furry christmas at busch gardens
now it's time to try out these uh glasses they were like three bucks so every single
light turns into like a little santa they had the one for reindeer or a snowman so
let's see how everything looks oh my god lord have mercy oh this is so bizarre oh there's
thousands of santas looking at me oh this is a weird fever dream oh my god we see the lights
let's put the glasses on and now you can see all the santa's looking at you
yeah look at them creeping see santa's face in the lightning oh so at legoland oh they're better over
there you can see like at legoland when they had the fire you look like you're in a spy kids 3d
yep that's what it looks like um at lego land when they do the fireworks you buy glasses yeah and it
makes them look like lego blocks all the fireworks look at the white light oh wow that's really fun
i like that a lot they got christmas music playing they have these like wonderful
globes up in the air now for halloween this is normally all red and spooky
but it's purple lights oh i love this music oh some kid just ate it right in front of us
poor guy i do love the playlist that busch gardens has i think it's like the most lit
christmas playlist at any theme park now we're next to chico right now and they have these
like they almost look like little stars in the trees now over in the theater here they have the
three kings journey looks like they have three showtimes every single night cookies and cocoa
so you can get specialty cocoa for 9.50 and it's you can either get it with peppermint
or gingerbread flavoring with whipped cream then you can make a jolly and add peppermint
schnapp bailey's irish cream or kahlua for just an additional four dollars i'd be very
upset if i got my character to her back and it uh looked like that okay it's time for my
favorite thing that they have here they have this incredible light tunnel that we need to go through
there's thousands upon thousands of lights in here this is so cool
again it's just one of those things that's just it's better in person than it is on video
i just could not imagine how long it took to put up all these christmas lights that go
all the way to the end of the tree it's insane how many man hours it probably took we just talked to
the poinsettia princess she wants us to tell you that she loves you and she's a big fan princess
i miss her so much what is your favorite sweet treat to eat what is your guess gumdrop buttons
no chocolate no only gumdrops is that your entire diet just gumdrop buttons breakfast um and then i
have a snack and then i have sugar plum for lunch and then i have it again um as another snack
and then i have it for dinner and then if i'm good i have it for dessert too
oh lord so we're on our way to meet your ice sister how is she oh she's wonderful not too
chilly at all she's very warm-hearted is there anything we should tell her oh my gosh tell her
i said hello please okay and then i miss her and i think she took my sugar my sugar gumdrop that was
pink um so i'm missing that one if you guys can get that back to me that would be great now busch
gardens does have their train operating they have a decked out and christmas lights and everything
now if you'd like to have a giant santa meet and greet right over here
now this wax figure is kind of creepy it's like a little um angel that you can get it almost
looks like a little cemetery angel though we got another one you can also get a little penguin
on the nutcracker they have a little elephant up there and then on this other nutcracker they have
a little baby giraffe up there and on his belt it's bg for busch gardens but his uh beard kind
of looks like there's like chocolate rice circle things from quaker oats nice princess you are
our last princess to meet tonight we've met all the other princesses now the sugar plum princess
she's a little worried about you because she's had a gumdrop button that went missing and she
said you might have taken it i do like gum drugs but i love hot chocolate as well so if you put
the gum drops in the hot chocolate you get a lecture she was telling us about her diet for
breakfast lunch or dinner all she eats is little gumdrop sugar sugar sugar everywhere cupcakes
now they have christmas on ice the thing is there's so much to do right we've just kind
of like seen the lights and tried some of the food but you have to go like multiple nights to
do all the shows if you come on the weekend the fireworks show and now we just saw the end of the
mrs claus story time it looked like a lot of fun we missed it though it looks like she's told a
story and they had jingle bells for all the kids the shake and now you can take photos with her
mrs claus looks a lot like dolly parton's like sister or something merry christmas to all
a good night all right now they turned on the lights on the swans they look really nice all
right this stand is gonna be beignets and cocoa we're gonna be getting the chocolate
kahlua beignets all right so the beignet has like chocolate on top and powdered sugar and this is
like the new recipe of the beignets that they've created it tastes more like a croissant than a
beignet just finished yeah it's really chewy not like light and fluffy they're kind of like a donut
or a beignet it's like a croissant with kind of chocolate on it very good but i think i'll do
a 7.5 now guys the last thing of the night is we're going to have the dolce de leche filled
