Festive Mugs: Serve the hot chocolate in seasonal mugs or clear glass mugs to showcase the rich, creamy drink. We got these elf mugs at Pottery Barn!
Chocolate-Dipped Rim: Dip the rims of mugs in melted chocolate and then into crushed candy canes, sprinkles, or cocoa powder for an extra treat.
Pair with Cookies: Serve alongside fresh-baked cookies like chocolate chip, snickerdoodles or my cake mix butter pecan cookies.
