Well, it looks like we’ll be cozying up in our sweaters and drinking hot cocoa for a bit longer this year!

Punxsutawney Phil has officially predicted that there will be six more weeks of winter today in honor of Groundhog Day! We might be looking forward to spring just ahead, but Disney is celebrating today’s events with a sweet gift for a special little guy.
In one of the most adorable videos we’ve seen this Groundhog Day (other than good ole’ Phil looking cute during today’s annual festivities), Walt Disney World created a video to pep talk Punxsutawney Phil!
Groundhog Day, huh? #Relatable. To celebrate #GroundhogDay, we’ve sent a little #HappyPlace escape to Punxsutawney Phil—the world’s best weather-predicting groundhog. ☀️ pic.twitter.com/Vvur0gGuUr

Every day might be Groundhog Day to him, but Disney wants to make today (and each and every day) extra special with some magic! So, they decided to send a care package to Phil that will make him feel like he’s in the Happiest Place on Earth year-round.

As we hang on to the last weeks of winter and look forward spring sunshine, we’ll give you a look at all the other Disney entertainment coming to you soon!
Here are the most romantic Disney movies to watch for Valentine’s Day!
