The “Closer Look” team closes out 2025’s series of live coffee shop broadcasts with Coffee & Cocoa Conversations at Sidecar Coffee in Chamblee, Georgia. In a year that saw hardships for many communities, program host Rose Scott focuses on the people who make it their job to bring joy — Santa Rick & Mrs. Claus, Santa D. Sinclair, and Santa Bradley with the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta.

And as Santa Bradley said, the message for this holiday season is, “Everybody be nice.”

Santa Rick added, “Be kind to others — it doesn’t cost anything. And leave the world a better place.”
