25 Drinks of Christmas – Day 14: Grinch Hot Chocolate Bomb in Seuss Landing

The Christmas season is our absolute favorite time of the year. Growing up, one of the little things I loved most was getting an Advent calendar and counting down the days until Santa would be coming down the chimney. As I grew older, I had to leave Advent calendars in the rear view mirror,* but I still miss that daily countdown building anticipation to the big day. So, we’re going to start a virtual Advent calendar here at TouringPlans. For 2022, we are going to countdown our favorite drinks at Walt Disney World and the Universal Orlando Resort.

Criteria: Drinks can be alcoholic or nonalcoholic. Drinks can come from any venue on the property. Bonus points are awarded for the atmosphere where the drink is served. Any drink with glow cubes is immediately disqualified. Ready? Let’s go!

The Drink – Grinch Hot Chocolate
Location – Hop on Pop Ice Cream in Seuss Landing

Grinch Hot Chocolate Bomb

You drop the Grinch Chocolate Bomb into the cup of Chocolate…

…and it will start to melt away, much like the Grinch’s own heart when he realized there was more to Christmas for the Whos of Who-ville than just “packages, boxes, or tags.”

Once the marshamallows start being released you can speed up the process by mixing the drink yourself.

At the end you have an E-Ticket cup of Hot Chocolate with Marshamallows.

Keep an eye out for other great Grinch related treats during the Grinchmas season in Seuss Landing, such as the Grinch Sugar Cookies…

Grinch Heart on a Pillow…

… and a special cupcake featuring a mini edible How The Grinch Stole Christmas book on top.

One drink in Seuss Landing served during Grinchmas that needs to take the “Dump It to Crumpit” shute – and disposed with the other hazardous waste – is the Grinch Punch. Strong Nay Nay from us.

The 25 Drinks of Christmas series couldn’t be done without an All Star team behind us including world class photographers Michael Carelli, Brandon Glover, Scott Sanders, and Hedghehog’s Corner. The drink listing came from a double-secret blue ribbon panel comprised of SAT SIX Fun Squaders including: Megan Stump, Nitro230,The Man Formerly Known as @DrunkAtDisney, Bethany Vinton, Parkscope Joe and Parkscope Nick. As always, Digital Maestro Scott Walker was the cherry on top of the sundae.

*That is an absolutely lie. I still buy an advent calendar every year with chocolates in it, and I also buy an annual box of Christmas Crunch, but we’ll keep that between us.
