While some people associate winter holidays with grog or glintwine, there are plenty of non-alcohol drinks you can enjoy!
For instance, you can always make delicious hot chocolate for your family and friends.
Here are a few ideas on how you can make it taste even better.

Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of cayenne pepper to your hot chocolate for a delightful spiced twist.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick for an extra hint of warmth.
Orange Infusion
Grate a bit of orange zest into your hot chocolate for a citrusy kick.
Optionally, add a splash of orange extract for a more pronounced flavor.
Peppermint Bliss
Crush candy canes or peppermint candies and stir into your hot chocolate for a refreshing and festive taste.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed peppermint.
