We got a TON of new announcements at Disney’s Virtual Investors Day in December about upcoming projects. Since then, the new Pixar film Soul released on Disney+, as well as the first Marvel series, WandaVision. We also got to watch the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, and even though it has only been a few weeks, they’re already prepping for season 3!
Streaming is a pretty big deal nowadays.

Take Disney, for example! The Walt Disney Company has made a major switch to a focus on streaming in the past year and announced over 100 new streaming titles. Well, audiences are definitely tuning in and two Disney+ titles brought MAJOR viewership at the end of 2020.
We’ve seen the Baby Yoda Animatronic toy, the Baby Yoda Real Moves plush, Baby Yoda phone cases, Baby Yoda macarons, Baby Yoda shirts, Baby Yoda plates, and so much MORE. In other words, Baby Yoda is taking over the galaxy.

And, with a Disney-fied recipe of hot chocolate in hand, it seems that MANY Disney lovers turned to Disney’s streaming service — Disney+ — for some holiday entertainment.
