You guys! Did you know that December 13 is National Cocoa Day?
It seems like there is a food holiday for everything these days, but National Cocoa Day is one that all of us—the young and old alike—can support (unless, of course, you have a chocolate allergy, in which case, I’m so, so sorry).
I had big plans of sharing my own special hot chocolate recipe today, but time got the best of me. Or should I say a lack of time.
Instead, I am sharing a round-up for the 21-and-older crowd; it’s basically every flavor profile of boozy and decadent hot chocolate you could imagine.
If a packet of Swiss Miss just won’t cut it, then you definitely should mix up one of these spiked specialties, put on your warmest fuzzy socks, and turn on your favorite holiday movie to get into the holiday spirit.
Sounds like a good idea, right?…

- How do you like your hot chocolate?
- Marshmallows or no marshmallows?
omggggggg I’m going to celebrate with them all!
No, that’s a lie. That’s not responsible.
I’ll try one.:) . Thank you for this! It’s perfect for my hot chocolate streak (all of December).
At least make a few of them…at different times, of course. You’ve still got a couple weeks left in the month 😉
Make me all of these but as mocktails? And on ice so I can enjoy in Hawaii?! I actually have some hot chocolate right now in the house but it’s just too hot to ever want to drink it! Sadness!
Haha, I’m sure some of these would be awesome sans booze. And over ice (I’m thinking the peppermint w/extract!) And I feel you on the weather. It’s been hot here with little short periods of actual fall/winter weather.
So I’m totally bummed that I didn’t know yesterday was National Cocoa Day?! And my hot chocolate has to be fillled to the top with marshmallows 🙂
I always miss food holidays – somehow I managed to find this one before the fact, haha. I think you can still celebrate…with lots of marshmallows, of course. 🙂
