Hi! Merry Christmas! How’s your day going? Our schedule has been pretty hectic but (hopefully) will start to slow down soon.
And for NYE, we’ve decided to hibernate. No parties, nobody coming over, just us in our pajamas in front of the TV, warm drink in hand.
Our default winter drink is Tsokolate (or Filipino Hot Chocolate) but I thought we’d shake things up this year.
So for our quarterly round-up (the last for 2017! Can you believe it?), I reached out to my favourite food bloggers and created this list of 29 of the best hot drinks for winter.
Hope you find something in here to keep you warm and cozy in the coming months!

In the winter I usually just drink cocoa or tea. I can’t wait to go through you list and try other drinks. My kids will appreciate it too.

They all look delicious! Any warm beverage is perfect for this cold frigid winter.

Wow! I’m in hot chocolate heaven now! A Hot Chocolate Party is in order.

OMG! So many delicious options! I love a classic hot chocolate and top it with a dollop of cream on my cheat days! 🙂
Eloise
holy yum yum! I wouldn’t have thought of some of those kinds of drinks ‘ever’, so thank you for the ideas! I would LOVE to try each and every single one of those ; )
this has come in perfect timing seeing as though tomorrow and the rest of the week is going to be below zero in the great state of MN!

I can’t wait to try them either! We’re in a deep freeze too. It’s -22C now (what’s that, maybe -8F?) and forecasted to dip to -28C /-19F for NYE! We’re staying home for sure lol. These lovely drinks will come in handy 🙂 Have a wonderful new year Eloise!
Sharon Koenig
Oh, wow. Sooo many options to choose from here. I have to say, though, even though I’m a health nut who’d like to stick to the healthier ones you’ve shared… that rocky road hot chocolate is REALLY calling my name!
Dalene
Apple cider any day, anytime..not even just in cold seasons. It is healthy and works to improve and cleanse the body system as well. I’ve been using it for a year now and its great!
Vasundhra
I usually drink unsweetened turmeric milk with a little ginger powder in winters. It is great for protecting us from extreme temperatures. I will try your recipe with cinnamon today, I am sure it will taste great!
Jolina
It’s one of my favourites! Hope you like it 🙂
