A hot chocolate is a favourite of many, and not just during the festive season. However, a festive hot chocolate includes all the trimmings such as; marshmallows, whipped cream, sprinkles, a flake or even a candy cane. A deliciously sweet way to warm up.

Mulled Wine

Maybe a sip of alcohol is more your thing, and that’s when mulled wine becomes the ultimate choice for a hot drink. The warmth of the beverage combined with the sweetness might be just what you need after the dip.

Christmas Tea

There is nothing more British than a cup of tea, and it’s a very soothing way to warm up. People like their teas in all different ways, whether you add milk and sugar or keep it black. But the teabag is the main star, and there are many ‘Christmas teas' you can get your hands on from top teabag brands.

Gingerbread Latte

If you’re after a caffeine fix, then a coffee is an obvious choice. But if you’re in the mood for something festive then you can’t go wrong with a Gingerbread Latte. Gingerbread is one of the top Christmas flavours and scents, add creamy milk and you’re onto a winning winter.

Hot Toddy

This is one for the cocktail fans. Like a mulled wine, a hot toddy is a hot, alcoholic drink - but with different ingredients. A hot toddy is made up of whiskey, honey and lemon mixed into hot water.
