Happy Hour #25 – Christmas Island

A break from the typical Top 40 Christmas songs you hear on every radio station in every mall and supermarket or shopping center. This is what Christmas is like in a Tropical setting, and I bet you have not heard many of these songs before, or at least not these versions! Visit Mixcloud.com/TikiTriangle if the above link does not load, Mele Kalikimaka!

COCKTAILS

  • Hot Dr. Pepper (Non-alcoholic) – simply heat up a can of Dr. Pepper soda until hot and pour into a coffee mug with slices of lemon. Enjoy this retro treat from the 1960s! Check our YouTube episode about this!
