First off, is Knoops. A blessing to the city as these colder weeks set in and they have every kind of hot chocolate you could imagine. Varying from white to dark, hot to cold they even do hot chocolates with a Christmas twist. If you find yourself in Knoops in the next few weeks I would recommend trying their Christmas flavours. They have four types this year and they are: Festive Spice Chocolate, The Winter Works, Jens’ Chocolate Orange and The Candy Cane.
If you are ever near the Quayside, Proven Goods Co have combined two popular drinks, namely a chai latte and a hot chocolate. Their Chai Spiced Hot Chocolate will put you in the festive spirit and it comes with the choice of white or milk chocolate- what’s not to miss? Topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, a hot chocolate truly can’t get any more Christmassy!

Christmas shopping for others can get tiring and, it is always important to treat yourself! If you find yourself in Eldon Square shopping for others, or yourself, I recommend paying a visit to the Hotel Chocolat Café. Not only are their hot chocolates incredible, but their Christmas menu will also not let you down. Their Peppermint White and Mince Pie hot chocolates will certainly put you in the Christmas mood.
Café Nero also do a magnificent Millionaire’s hot chocolate. Topped with chocolate whipped cream and salted caramel sauce it really is sensational. With a student discount, this drink is £4.25 which, in my opinion, is not too bad for a festive drink…
Grab a friend and go and try these festive drinks in the run up to the Christmas holidays!
