LOL I wondered who remembered or even knew what that was.

A few years ago there was a teen age ghoststory/paranormal type show on either nicolodien or disney. I think disney channel called So Weird. Mackinzie Phillips played a singing mom on the road with her two teen agerers a son and daughter Fiona. and dead husbands band member friend, wife and teen boy. Fiona missed having her dad so was constantly looking for answers to death. She could also see and speak to the dead at times.

One episode was a christmas one where the teen character Fiona was having a hard time with christmas. They stop the bus at a mall to do shopping and in the center of the mall is an old fashioned "Soda Fountain" where a person can get malts, rootbeer floats and so on. The soda jerk (name for the person making the drinks behind the bar in the days of soda fountains). During the conversation of her missing days gone by and missing the spirit of christmas he tells her what she needs is a Cocoa Sleigh Ride and it magically appears on the counter. After she drinks it she goes through her life at different ages seeing and experiencing her life at chistmas unfold around her. The end result is that she learns christmas isnt all about just getting things and the rushing here and there and stress. Its about enjoying the time with the people around you and enjoying life to the fullest.

A Cocoa Sleigh Ride is Old Fashioned Hot chocolate (the recipe for this can be found on the can of Hersheys baking Cocoa) with Whipped cream, a cherry and sprinkles on top and a candy cane or pepermint stick stuck in it on the side like a stir stick. Ill post the complete recipe in recipe message board for you.
