The cold weather has finally arrived, bringing with it the perfect excuse for comfort food and indoor fires (hopefully in a fireplace). A hot bowl of soup is one way to warm your bones, but sometimes a meal just isn’t practical. Enter hot cocoa, a holiday favorite of all ages. You’d have to be crazy to say no to a mug of hot chocolate after an afternoon spent out in the cold shoveling snow, sledding, or shopping
There are tons of tasty holiday drinks to be enjoyed by the snow-bound. What you might not realize is that these drinks, often made from mixes, make great homemade food gifts. A jar or packet of a holiday drink mix is the perfect way to personalize a gift. Of course, you don’t have to give these tasty drink mixes away. You may just want to keep your batch of homemade hot cocoa mix all to yourself.
Whether you decide to keep or give away these drink mixes, you’re sure to get into the holiday spirit as soon as you take a sip of these tasty holiday drinks.
