Why the ALL-NEW VelvetiserⓇ is the Perfect Christmas Gift

Give your loved ones chocolate heaven with our ALL-NEW VelvetiserⓇ. More than just a hot chocolate maker, it’s the gift of slow, soothing moments, and the ultimate Christmas present for anyone who loves deeply comforting, chocolate bliss.

The VelvetiserⓇ broke boundaries, but our updated, innovative design will raise your chocolate ritual to new heights. Redesigned by our master chocolatiers, it uses the vortex-effect to whisk real chocolate flakes and your chosen milk into a frothy, cloud-light drink. The result? Effortlessly smooth and decadently creamy chocolate in a matter of minutes.

What’s different about the ALL-NEW VelvetiserⓇ?

The ALL-NEW Velvetiser has been thoughtfully crafted to do more than perfect your hot chocolate ritual, it’s crafted to become a statement piece in your home.

New sleek design and colourways

Seamlessly blending form and function, The Velvetiser elevates every countertop with its elegant, timeless aesthetic. Choose from three beautifully refined colourways, each inspired by nature’s palette.

• Chalk: A soft, serene white that embodies purity and calm. Perfect for bright, minimalist spaces or to add a touch of balance against darker tones.

• Pebble: Warm and organic, this hue draws inspiration from hand-shaped pottery and natural stone. It’s the perfect complement to wooden textures and earthy interiors.

• Pewter: Sophisticated and quietly striking, Pewter brings a subtle metallic sheen that catches the light beautifully in sleek, modern kitchens.

Hot and cold options using a dial system

The upgraded Velvetiser has been meticulously re-engineered to create both hot and cold drinking chocolate using thermodynamic programming. It’s a groundbreaking first for our collection, and an untapped feature in the world of chocolate making.

Turn the dial right to indulge in warmth and watch The Velvetiser gently melt real chocolate flakes at a precise 68–70°C, which is the optimal temperature to unlock the richest flavour and silkiest texture.

Craving a cold chocolate drink? Turn the dial left to cool things down. Expertly calibrated to pulse at the start of the cycle, it delicately blends finely milled chocolate from our cold-drinking sachets into a smooth, refreshing masterpiece. The result is a perfectly chilled chocolate experience, crafted for moments of pure indulgence.

Different drinking chocolate varieties

We’ve expanded our drinking chocolate flavours for new Velvetiser recipes. Each one is made from real chocolate flakes that melt swiftly into a satisfying velvet-smooth texture.

Discover autumnal-inspired flavours like Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate, Chai Spice Hot Chocolate, and Ginger Hot Chocolate. Our new cold drinking chocolate includes Mandarin & Orange,  Banana, and Cherry. Of course, you can also delve into Hot & Cold Drinking Chocolate Selection Boxes to try every flavour.

Why The Velvetiser is the perfect Christmas gift

Some Christmas gifts are opened and used once, while others are enjoyed all year long. The Velvetiser is part of the latter. Here are just a few reasons why our revolutionary chocolate drink maker is the perfect Christmas present…

1. Cosy, caffeine-free drinks

There’s nothing more soothing than a hot beverage in winter, but not everyone likes to drink caffeine. This is especially true before bed, so making a velvety hot chocolate is the ideal caffeine-free evening ritual.

The Velvetiser takes a comforting chocolate ritual to another level and captures a moment of calm in every sip. Your loved one can enjoy a Christmas hot chocolate in front of a crackling fire, share a mug with family, or as a peaceful evening drink before the lights go out.

2. Perfect for lovers of iced drinks

Hot drinks aren’t always convenient, or maybe you know someone who prefers a deluxe iced beverage instead.

Simply switch the dial to cold and watch the innovative design turn the finely milled chocolate into a soothing, chilled drink. Our cold drinking chocolate has everything from classic milk chocolate to bursts of flavour, like cherry or mint. 

3. A companion for chocolate cocktails, desserts, and more

Yes, The Velvetiser creates chocolate drinks, but it doesn’t stop there. It’s also the ideal gift to elevate Christmas parties with delectable chocolate cocktails.

Try a chocolate-espresso martini, which blends the rich taste of coffee with the divine creaminess of chocolate. Choose Christmas-themed flavours like Mandarin & Orange Cold Drinking Chocolate and Crème Brûlée Cold Drinking Chocolate for festivity, or custom-make chocolate cocktails for an unforgettable experience.

The Velvetiser is also a thoughtful gift for passionate bakers. Mix sumptuous melted chocolate into desserts for heavenly chocolate logs, delicious fudge cake, and rich, melt-in-the-mouth brownies.

4. Seasonal drinking chocolate flavours

The Velvetiser goes beyond Classic Hot Chocolate. We also have a variety of seasonal favourites for chocolate lovers to enjoy.

The Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate captures the taste of autumn with a blend of warming spices in creamy caramel-milk chocolate. And the delicately spiced, 70% dark chocolate Chai Spice flavour is reminiscent of a cosy cafe on a blustery day.

If you’re looking for more festive flavours, we recommend Hazelnut Praline, Salted Caramel & Clementine, and Orange Hot Chocolate.

5. Use as part of an elevated Christmas hamper

Christmas hampers are a timeless gift, and adding The Velvetiser as a show-stopping piece is the ultimate luxury. Here’s how to create the perfect Velvetiser hamper with Christmas chocolate.

• Caramel Penguin Selectors: These adorable 40% cacao milk chocolates have tummies filled with sumptuous gooey caramel to capture the essence of the North Pole.

• Chocolate Gingerbread Men: There’s nothing more festive than a dozen smiling gingerbread men! The mellow milk chocolate has a dash of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg for a hint of gingerbread spice. 

• The Enchanted Chocolate Forest: These charming trees are part of our Secret Santa Gifts collection, made from solid caramel and milk chocolate, bringing a magical wonderland to your hamper.

• The Classic Christmas Sleekster: For a truly festive touch, we recommend a box of 28 classic, seasonal chocolate recipes. Your special someone can nibble their way through Caramel Espresso Martini, Salted Caramel, Cinnamon Bun, Pink Champagne Supernova, and more.

• The Velvetiser Drinking Chocolate Advent Calendar: What makes a better addition to a Velvetiser hamper than an array of drinking chocolate sachets? This advent calendar is a great gift for the run-up to Christmas or on Christmas Day.

It contains the classics like 50% Milky Chocolate, delicious 85% Dark Chocolate, and Vanilla White. But we haven’t forgotten the festive flavours of Black Forest Gateau, Hazelnut Praline, Pumpkin Spice, and many other seasonal additions.

6. Pair with our hot chocolate subscriptions for ongoing treats

Restocking drinking chocolate can easily slip your loved one’s mind, until they go to make a luxury beverage to see there are no sachets left. With this in mind, why not give the gift of never running out with a monthly hot chocolate subscription?
