I’m really excited to see you. Well, I can’t see you. Where are you? Who are you? What are you doing? Are you at a standing desk? Are you on a treadmill? Or, like me, are you lying down in a chair? (Critics thought it couldn’t be done, but it can.) When it’s sunny out but also winter, I always feel like someone is playing a prank on me. And that someone… is… God? Do you guys believe in God? Sorry, I should probably eat something, my blood sugar’s a little low. Today’s Thrillist story: It was a snowy day in Zion National Park, but I didn’t mind. I had to walk through Zion in order to deliver some jars of Rao’s marinara sauce to some of my friends, who… live in Zion (work with me, here). On the way, I saw the perfect Christmas tree… and living inside it was a squirrel, which handed me a tub of Christmas-themed ice cream and let me know that Thomas’ (the English muffin company) has a new cookbook. The End. Okay, that story was super random and bad. Let’s hope that next week I can spin a more compelling yarn. I’m going to really have you on the edge of your seat next time. Until then, [-Ned Riseley, Newsletter Contributor]( [ [( travel [] [Death Valley Is Beautiful This Time of Year]( Here is a list of all the national parks you should be visiting right now. They’ve been especially picked based on the fact that they just get more magical in the winter. They are the perfect places to walk through the snow and imagine that you’re the last human being left on Earth. Or the first… dealer’s choice. Wrap yourself in a blanket and pretend you’re a COVID pioneer, riding your covered wagon into the wilderness of America, as if for the first time. [] [Meet Me in the Everglades]( [( [( food & drink [] [Latke-Flavored Ice Cream]( I know. You’re already cold. But when has that ever stopped you from having a scoop of ice cream? Plus, now that it’s the holidays, it might be nice to pick a flavor that’s… seasonally appropriate. Like latke ice cream. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been eating a latke and thought… you know what would really send this over the edge? If it were an ICE CREAM. It’s like these people are reading my mind. (I know I made this all about latke ice cream, but there are other holiday flavors as well.) [] [I Scream]( [( *Sponsored Ads List [( Ghost Kitchen [] [Dinner Drops Now! Pre-Order Rao's for Friends and Family]( I can’t possibly say anything that hasn’t already been said about Rao’s. In short, it’s delicious, and it makes an excellent addition to any at-home Italian feast. That’s why you should take advantage of this Thrillist Ghost Kitchen offer, which will bring Rao’s to your door. December 9-18… in Manhattan. I guess I have to move to Manhattan before then… Do you guys have any apartment leads? [] [WOW RAO]( [( [( news [] [English Muffin Cookbook]( Most recipes in this cookbook are, unsurprisingly, made with English muffins. It is made by Thomas’, after all. I’m very curious about just how many different meals you could make using English muffins. This is the perfect gift for someone in your life who is obsessive and single-minded in their cravings. With 140, that’s more than half a year’s worth of dinner that is made out of English muffins. I know what I am doing in 2021. [] [English Muffins Again]( [( *720x300 Ad Banner [( news [] [The Real Scoop on the Xmas Tree Situation This Year]( Apparently, there have been a lot of rumors flying around about Christmas trees this year. Some people are saying that there aren’t enough. Well, this article has the skinny on whether that’s true. Regardless, I think it’s safe to assume that you’d better get a Xmas tree soon. Why not? What else are you gonna do? Just kidding, I know you’re really busy right now. [] [Deck the Halls]( [( [( sponsored: aha [] Our home bar menus could use a refresher.
