20 {Yummy} Recipes for Hot Chocolate


Kids Activities Blog http://ift.tt/1oI3CSt hot cocoa

We are so excited about these 20 recipes for hot chocolate. This is one of our favorite Christmas traditions…one that extends all winter long!

Every Christmas Eve we sit together as a family, read the Christmas Story, and drink hot coco together before the kids have a family slumber party sleeping around the Christmas tree.   It is one of the activities on our “Count-Down To Christmas” calendar. Hot coco is a tradition I enjoyed with my parents as a child.

In anticipation of this Christmas Eve, I am drooling over hot chocolate recipes, varieties, gift ideas and more.
