Episode 294 – 2025 Year in Review! 2025 Year in Review! Hey everyone, I’m Mike, she’s Sophie, that’s Brenda, and he’s Grogu, and We’re On the Road with Mickey! This is episode 294, and our feature topic this week is our 2025 Year in Review! Today’s episode is taking a look at our favorite episodes of the year! Here’s what we talked about: Cheddar from the Big Cheese: Sophie: When it comes to Disney, one thing we’re always talking about is FOOD! Well, we just found out that the recipe for the Hot Chocolate that Judy made for Santa Claus in The Santa Clause movie is available online!The Ingredients 1 ½ cups Whole Milk ½ cup Heavy Cream (Essential for that rich, magical texture!) ½ cup High-quality Chocolate Chips (Milk chocolate for the classic sweetness, or semi-sweet for more depth) 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (For extra chocolatey richness) ½ tsp Vanilla Extract 1 pinch Salt (This makes the chocolate flavor pop!) Optional: Whipped cream, marshmallows, or shaved chocolate for garnish.Step-by-Step InstructionsSimmer: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture until it is just beginning to steam, but do not let it boil.Melt: Whisk in your chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and the pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is perfectly smooth.Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract for that final touch of warmth.The Judy Secret (Cool & Shake): Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Remember the rule: “Not too hot!” Pour the mixture into a thermos or a cocktail shaker. Safety Note: If using a shaker, be careful of the pressure that builds up with warm liquids—hold the lid down tight!Shake It: Shake vigorously for about 30–60 seconds. This aerates the chocolate, making it frothy, light, and velvety—exactly like the movie version.Serve: Pour into your favorite mug. If you really want to be authentic, serve it in a silver cup!Brenda: The Cinderella Castle repainting project will happen next month! January 2026 will be the date when the Castle is returned back to its classic look.Mike: I learned today that Disney Vlogger Adam the Woo, who’s given name is David Adam Williams, has passed away unexpectedly at age 51. The Disney community is a very tight community, and while I didn’t know him, I know that a lot of my friends did know him and are understandably upset. Here at On the Road with Mickey, we’re taking a moment to celebrate his accomplishments, and are praying for God’s Peace, Comfort, Strength, and Love to surround his family in their time of grief. May he rest in peace. Connect with us!

This Day in Disney History for 12/29: 1951: Animator Andy Gaskill is born in Camden, New Jersey! Stump the Soph! Emile from Ratatouille A little bit of Walt “Physically, Disneyland would be a small world in itself- it would encompass the essence of the things that were good and true in American life. It would reflect the faith and challenge of the future, the entertainment, the interest in intelligently presented facts, the stimulation of imagination, the standards of health and achievement, and above all, a sense of strength, contentment, and well-being.” – Walt Disney Coming next week: 25 Things to Do in 2025 – How’d we do? As always, thank you for listening. We are having a lot of fun talking Disney, and I’m glad you are enjoying it as well!
