25 Drinks of Christmas – Day 3: YUB NUB at Oga’s Cantina

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 – Yub Nub
Location – Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

The atmosphere at Oga’s Cantina is off-the-charts for a Star Wars fan with lots of great details.

Yub Nub – Ingredients: Malibu pineapple rum, Sailor Jerry spiced rum, citrus juices, and passion fruit. What makes the Yub Nub extra special is the world class souvenir cup you can have it served in that depicts the Battle of Endor from Return of the Jedi. Speaking as a die-hard Star Wars fan, this is one of my favorite souvenir cups that Disney has ever produced.

Let’s check out some other offerings at Oga’s Cantina.

Disney’s first Star Wars attraction at DHS was Star Tours, and the original pilot for our StarSpeeder in that attraction was named Captain R-3X (affectionately known as “Rex.”) You can now see Rex inside Oga’s Cantina as he is the house DJ.

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.
