🎉 "One Hot Dog, Two Hot Dogs: A Memorial Day Pairing Party!" 🎉

[Scene opens on a sunny picnic scene. Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby are sitting at a red-and-white checkered tablecloth with a big tray of hotdogs in front of them.]

Elmo: Hi, everybody! It’s Memorial Day, and Elmo is so excited to celebrate with yummy food and friends! Today, Elmo is learning all about pairing — that means matching food and drinks so they taste even better together!

Abby: Ooh! Like magic? 🧚‍♀️

Elmo: Kind of! It’s taste magic! Let’s try it with hotdogs!

Beverage Buddy: Sparkling Water with Lime 💦

🌭 Hotdog #3: Veggie Dog
