Christmas Specials
By Selena Ma

Without even looking at the calendar, one can tell that Christmas is near by looking at the menu at Starbucks Coffee, or in the bakery at Cheesecake factory. Even Jamba Juice has embraced the holiday season with festive names for drinks such as “Orange Cherry Cheer”. Starbucks also offers a variety of holiday drinks such as their peppermint mocha, gingerbread latte, eggnog frappuccino, pumpkin spice latte and many others. Aside from food and drink, there is a multitude of theme parks that take part in the holiday spirit with festive decorations and Christmas parades. Disneyland illuminates their downtown streets with colorful lights. Even the rides have a Christmas theme; Disneyland gave the Haunted Mansion a Christmas makeover to look like a scene from Tim Burton’s movie, “The Nightmare before Christmas”. So whether or not you plan on staying at home for the holidays sipping on a cup of Christmas cheer from Starbucks or visiting Mickey in the happiest place on earth; you are bound to enjoy your Christmas break.
