Our Top Three Mentions For The Week of 12/11/21

Believe it or not, it's another week in the books bringing us closer to Christmas and Luke's favorite time of year,  Mardi Gras. Before we get to Mardi Gras, we have to finish off the holidays. There may be no better way to do that than with some desserts. 

First up, we have the Gingerbread Cookie Sandwich. These are two soft, decadent gingerbread cookies with pillowy buttercream filling in between them. Then, some festive sprinkles are on the top of it. This cookie sandwich has spice flavoring which pairs well with the buttercream frosting. As Max said in the video(below), "It's very Christmas, very spicey. This can be found in the Tribute Store, Toothsome Chocolate Emporium and Savory Feast Kitchen, and most bakeries around the property.

Up next is another holiday treat from Voodoo Doughnuts. This time we got the Holiday wreath, a red velvet cake doughnut with green mint icing. The cake donut is pretty good. The icing has a strong mint flavor. If you are not a mint lover, then this is not for you. Remember, this is a seasonal treat, so if you're looking to try something different, be sure to get it before it's gone. ​

Speaking of mint, the last on our list for this week is the Peppermint Trifle. This trifle has bands of chocolate cake layered with peppermint icing sandwiched in between each one. The top of the trifle is topped with a candy cane and a north pole sign. ​

That's enough sweets for now. Be sure to join us next week as we present our top eight treats for the Holidays at Universal Orlando.

Please do not  forget to make sure your park tickets and express passes have been purchased for the same date. You don't want to spend your time waiting in line at Guest Services for such a mistake.
