Truth be told, we weren’t able to do a lot of things, but that didn’t stop us from getting creative, did it? Plus there’s still time for all of the at-home things you wanted to do but didn’t. Buy a hive and become a beekeeper! Start a rent strike in your building! Adopt a rare bird that shouldn’t even be living in your hemisphere! Make a scrapbook in which you paste your face onto the bodies of people in magazine photoshoots and pretend you’re them! I don’t know, I’m just spitballing! Here’s the scoop from Thrillist today. We have a volcanic island you probably haven’t heard of! A recipe for Magnolia Bakery’s famed banana pudding! A list of all the most underrated movies of 2020! A list of the most popular grocery store foods of the year (in my house it was giant balls of mozzarella, which I call "comfort balls")! And finally… a look at all the different holiday Starbucks drinks that you will find around the globe! I have to get back to installing a disco ball in my bathroom and filling my backyard with sand so that I can “experience the beach whenever I want.” I have to do it without my landlord noticing, is the only challenge, so mum’s the word! Auf Wiedersehen, [-Ned Riseley, Newsletter Contributor]( [ [( travel [] [The Majestic Volcanic Island Most Americans Still Don’t Know About]( If you’re looking for a cathartic journey to take after you’ve gotten the vaccine, might I recommend Jeju Island, a volcanic wonder in the oceans off Korea that has your name written all over it. There’s plenty to do, if you’re not the volcano type, but I’d say the volcanoes are pretty alluring. 2021 is going to be like the end of Lord of the Rings, and we are all Frodo, throwing the rings into the depths of Mount Doom. That’s how that ends, right? [] [Take Me to Volcano Town]( [( *Sponsored Ads List [( food & drink [] [There’s Something About Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding]( I am sad to say that I have never personally tried the Magnolia Bakery banana pudding, but I am aware of its reputation as one very special banana pudding. If you’re discouraged from venturing out to the Manhattan Magnolia locations—even before the pandemic, the lines of tourists were enough to send me straight home—and you’ve been wanting to figure out how to make it at home, I have just the article for you! It’s pretty simple actually. Even I could probably make this recipe. Banana pudding for dinner it is! [] [Pudding Time]( [( [( entertainment [] [The Unsung Cinematic Heroes of 2020]( Here’s a list of all the best movies of 2020 that Thrillist feels could use some extra attention. Did you miss Beanpole when it initially came out? I certainly did, and I’m excited to know it exists now. Lord knows we’ve all been a little distracted by other things this year; it’s nice to get the little reminder that people did in fact make movies for our viewing pleasure. In fact, movies were the key to our survival!!! If I hadn’t been able to watch Escape from New York as a way of dealing with the fact that I desperately wanted to escape from New York this summer, I probably would have lost my damn marbles.

I have had several moments where I had to stop and realize I was dipping a full sandwich into the salsa jar, literally and figuratively. Emotional eating was a reality, and we all had our vices. Well, this comprehensive list, made by Kroger, has the scoop on what foods America turned to in its hour of need. Hint: It involves sauvignon blanc and a lotta cheese and potato chips. [] [Grocery List]( [( [( news [] [Here's What Starbucks' Holiday Drinks Look Like Around the Globe]( I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte this year, because I’ve always been a late bloomer. Well, did you know that there are different holiday Starbucks treats depending on where you are in the world? They’re all about something called “Berry x Berry” in Japan, and Europeans love Truffle Deluxe Hot Chocolates. In lieu of getting on a plane right now, might I suggest perusing this list of holiday treats from all the different continents? This is a great reminder that no matter where you are in the world, there’s always gonna be a really basic Starbucks holiday beverage just for you. I find that comforting and alarming all at once.
