Poinsettia Mimosas

* Maraschino cherries (optional)
* 3 cups cranberry juice, chilled
* 1/4 cup Triple Sec, other orange liqueur, or orange juice
* 2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice or grenadine syrup
* 1 750-milliliter bottle champagne or sparkling apple juice, or one 32-ounce bottle carbonated water or lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled

Hot Cranberry Tea

1 bottle (32 ounces) cranberry juice
2 cups sugar
1 can (6 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate
3/4 cup thawed lemonade concentrate
1/3 cup red-hot candies
1 cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves

SnowFlake Cocoa

• 2 cups whipping cream
• 6 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
• Garnish:
• Whipped cream
• Candy canes

Directions

1. Stir together the whipping cream, milk, vanilla, and white chocolate chips in a slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and chocolate chips are melted. Stir again before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and candy canes, as desired.

Mocha Meditation 14 Ghiradelli (60% cocoa) chocolate chips 1 tbsp honey Evaporated milk Ginger (fresh) ½ tsp instant coffee In a 10 oz mug, put 14 chocolate chips and just barely cover with honey (or to taste). Add just enough evaporated milk to cover the chocolate and honey. Grate 1/4 tsp ginger on top the mixture. Place mug into small pan of water and put on stove on medium heat. Watch it closely, this step is just to melt the chocolate. In a kettle, boil some water at the same time. As soon as the chocolate melts, take the mug out of the pan and stir the contents together until creamy. Top up the mug with hot water from the kettle and stir.

Chocolate Milk Whip!

Here are a few variations I like to make your mug hot chocolate your own special drink.

* Top off with whipping cream
* Add some mini marshmallows
* Garnish with chocolate shavings
* Add some of your favorite coffee creamer
* Add a candy cane for a festive touch
