Following its record-breaking success at the Box Office, Disney•Pixar + Mr. Will are thrilled to give Readers a chance to win a FINDING DORY Blu-ray Combo Pack!

Synopsis:

The summer blockbuster hit, Disney•Pixar‘s “Finding Dory,” swims home just in time for the holidays. Viewers can watch Dory’s hilarious and heartwarming quest to find her family and continue the underwater adventure with hours of immersive bonus features.

The film’s playful and plentiful bonus offerings include “Piper,” the theatrical short film starring an irresistible sandpiper hatchling; an all-new mini short featuring interviews with Dory’s pals from the Marine Life Institute; a behind-the-scenes look at the most challenging character Pixar has ever created; never-before-seen deleted scenes, including a digital exclusive featuring the Tank Gang from “Finding Nemo” who make it their mission to get Marlin and Nemo to the Marine Life Institute; and much, much more.

“Finding Dory” features an all-star voice cast, reuniting Ellen DeGeneres (“The Ellen DeGeneres Show”) and Albert Brooks (“This is 40”) as Dory and Marlin, the ever-optimistic blue tang and the uptight but loyal clownfish. Ed O’Neill (“Modern Family”) lends his voice to “septopus” Hank, Kaitlin Olson (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) voices whale shark Destiny, and Ty Burrell (“Modern Family”) gives voice to beluga whale Bailey. Dory’s doting parents Charlie and Jenny are portrayed by Eugene Levy (“Schitt’s Creek”) and Diane Keaton (“Love the Coopers”), and 12-year-old Hayden Rolence (“Beta Persei”) steps in as Nemo, the young clownfish with a lucky fin.

These are the selections you can look forward to this year!

Starbucks® Chestnut Praline Latte
Inspired by the time-honoured holiday tradition of warm roasted chestnuts, this cozy beverage features Starbucks® signature espresso combined with freshly steamed milk and flavours of caramelized chestnuts and spices. The drink is then finished with whipped cream and spiced praline crumbs for crunch.

Starbucks® Holiday Spice Flat White
Back for it’s second year, the Starbucks Holiday Spice Flat White is handcrafted with bold, spicy ristretto shots of Christmas Blend Espresso Roast and a blend of mulling spices, including finely ground sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove and a touch of tangerine. It’s then topped with steamed whole milk into creamy micro-foam and carefully poured to allow the espresso and spices to rise to the top of the beverage for a bold coffee flavour with a sweeter finish.

Starbucks® Spiced Sweet Cream Nariño 70 Cold Brew

Nariño 70 Cold Brew coffee is slow steeped for 20 hours, then festively spiced and finished with a float of house made sweet cream to create an exclusive, elegant iced holiday beverage.

And because Starbucks® never fails to deliver the cute, how about a do-it-yourself GINGERBREAD CAFÉ???

A build-it-yourself Starbucks® Gingerbread Café made with all-natural colours and flavours. This kit comes with a variety of decorating candies, including an edible Starbucks® logo and candy red cups!

Fret not, returning Holiday faves like the Starbucks® Peppermint Mocha + Skinny Peppermint Mocha, Starbucks® Caramel Brûlé Latte, Starbucks® Gingerbread Latte and our personal indulgence, the Starbucks® Eggnog Latte all are returning too!

And how about their new Carved Ham, Egg and Swiss Breakfast Sandwich? P.S. That ham is maple-glazed and it’s on a croissant bun!

What a blessing it was getting the chance to test drive the 2017 FORD FUSION TITANIUM AWD my milestone birthday weekend! Celebrating in-style meant having a chariot with equal parts substance and glamour.  This ride was everything I could’ve asked for – cutting-edge innovation meets practicality! Coloured a gorgeous burgundy velvet metallic, the Fusion elicited wows from friends and family, striking a chord with its visual elegance. They were treated to spacious heated (and cooled) leather seating as we navigated north and west of the City for celebrations and passengers in the roomy back loved having their own vents.

Driving was truly a comfort with its adjustable seats. Although the Fusion’s rotary shift dial  was a bit daunting at first, after having grown accustomed to an actual stick gear shift for years, I got the handle of it rather quickly.  I absolutely loved its remote keyless ignition, ensuring a warm car (believe me, it was needed and will be needed this grueling winter ahead!) before I even got in.

I confess, the driver’s seat was so cozy, reclining almost all the way back, that I even took a quick nap under that ambient moonroof for a quick recharge.  Never be afraid to celebrate too hard! To enjoy a sunset in this stunner of a vehicle is a luxury that could be experienced on the daily!

We don’t remember driving before SIRIUS XM and this is a fact. We adore that the 12-speaker SONY® sound system-enhanced Fusion comes SIRIUS-ready, Spotify-enabled, with multiple USB ports for charging. Its SYNC® 3 system works together with the Bluetooth on your wireless device to help you enjoy our music no-fuss and stay connected at all times. Did we mention it has voice recognition too? We think it’s positively awesome too being able to get an audio transcription of your text messages so one can keep their focus on the road. We love also that the car is not only Apple but Android friendly! Yes!

The Fusion comes with decent fuel efficiency at 13.5 L/100km city, 9.0 L/100km hwy, 11.5 L/100km combined.

Power-wise, the intelligent all-wheel-drive option is smooth like butter with its 2.0-litre EcoBoost® engine.

For those who need to go downtown frequently, the Fusion makes parallel and regular parking even, a breeze with park assist and park-out assist for those tight spots.  Its rear camera ensures your safety, very aware of pedestrians, vehicles and obstacles. Our one wish? We wish it had rear-window wipers!

Experience my birthday weekend with the 2017 FORD FUSION TITANIUM AWD in snaps:

The 2017 FORD FUSION TITANIUM AWD starts at $34,448 CAN.  Learn more here.
