Science meets sweet treats! 🍦🔬

One of our favorite performers, Jordan the Science Wizard, recently stopped by Good Day Sacramento to whip up something cool - literally. Teaming up with Cody in the studio, Jordan demonstrated how to make homemade ice cream using liquid nitrogen (that’s 321° below zero!) - no ice cream machine required. The result? A delicious science experiment that had the whole studio smiling… even with a few frosty mishaps along the way.

From mixing cream, sugar, and vanilla to rapidly freezing the mixture with liquid nitrogen, this segment is a fun reminder that science can be hands-on, educational, and seriously tasty. And yes — chocolate syrup was definitely suggested at the end.

Catch the full segment and see the magic for yourself. Then get ready to experience the fun in person when Jordan the Science Wizard brings his high-energy, crowd-pleasing experiments to the Mandarin Festival!

📅 Countdown to mandarins, music, and mind-blowing science: just 208 days to go!
Join us November 20–22, 2026, At The Grounds for three days of family fun, incredible performers, delicious treats, and festive holiday shopping.
