Count down to Christmas by curling up with a cup of hot chocolate or settling down to savour a cool, refreshing cup of iced chocolate for 24 days of December. Updated for the 2024 festive season, each of the doors on this hot chocolate Advent calendar reveals one of the recipes from our extensive library of drinking chocolates. Will you open the door to a classic favourite such as Salted Caramel – a silky flood of caramel lifted with sea salt? Or a seasonal limited edition, like Pecan Cinnamon Danish? Inspired by the best-loved pastry, it delivers all the comfort of caramel, with rich pecan and warming cinnamon.

With 16 recipes in total (including two of each across our bestsellers), you’ll be treated to a taste of all our chocolate flavour profiles, from deep, decadent 85% Dark, to astonishingly creamy Vanilla-White, via warming Chilli, zesty Salted Caramel & Clementine and tongue-tingling Mint. Better still, each one is made only with real chocolate flakes. So you can be assured that you’ll get that same deeply satisfying taste you experience with our pralines, truffles and solid chocolates, even in our white hot chocolate.

Of course, each single-serve sachet of chocolate flakes is best when made with the Velvetiser™ – it’s the only way to get that super-silky, cloud-like finish. If, however, you don’t have a Velvetiser (yet!), you can still make each one on the hob with your choice of milk or dairy alternative.

And if you know someone else who owns a Velvetiser, or just adores hot chocolate, this drinking chocolate Advent calendar makes a truly thoughtful gift, and the perfect way to share a little Christmas cheer.
