It’s that time of year Nerdie Foodies! Winter has officially arrived and the holidays are a couple days away. What a better way to stay warm and toasty through the holidays than hot chocolate during the days (and nights) and something festive during happy hour. Let’s go!
Hot Chocolate
Once Upon a Time
Oncers can rejoice! Sandy, from Fan Girls Cook, shares with us their version of Mary Margaret’s hot chocolate recipe. You can check it Swan’s Hot Chocolate with Cinnamon here!
Harry Potter
Potterheads get ready! Darla from Bakingdom has plenty of HP inspired recipes and this one just happens to be her version of Butterbeer but in hot chocolate form! Check out the recipe here!
Star Wars
When I saw the tagline for this Star Wars edition of hot chocolate, I had to include it. Chrysa from Thrifty Jinxy shares with us her cozy hot chocolate recipe here! Try it out – and may the foam be with you!
If you’re more inclined towards the Dark Side, we have got you covered! Kristie, from Saving Dollars and Sense, shares with us her Stormtroopers White Chocolate Cocoa recipe. You can check it out here!
Frozen
If there is one character that I took a shine to in Frozen, it would be Olaf the Snowman (who loves warm hugs). Courtney O’Dell, from Sweet C’s Designs, shares with us her recipe for Olaf Cocoa! You can check out this super cute recipe here!
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
A holiday classic! For the times you start binging on all the holiday movies, why not curl up on the couch with a mug of Grinch hot chocolate? Lisa, from Cooking with Curls, show us how to make this beautifully green hot chocolate. And for those who want to kick it up a notch and make it a “happy hour drink” follow her instructions that have asterisks. Check out the recipe here!
Happy Hour

Blue Christmas

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
As one of Santa’s crew members, Patricia Bloodgood (for My Recipes), shares with us her recipe for a cocktail punch inspired by the Rudolph. Check out the recipe here!
