Christmas hot chocolate recipes with a twist

One should learn the rules before breaking them. That’s why the flavour ideas you’re about to see are built on traditional ingredients and foundations, but have unexpected lashings of deliciousness that add a distinctly Christmas spirit.   

A joyful Christmas table

Add bright splashes of personality to your mealtime get-togethers with Royal Doulton’s contemporary range of dinner and place sets. Perfect as a casual tableware setting, this collection of complementary designs and colours can be easily combined to create your own personalised interpretation of a joyous Christmas tablescape.

A twist for the kids

Adding extra toppings to a favourite food is classic kid behaviour, so let yours enjoy the same kind of freedom at Christmas time. Start them off with a warm mug of the same delish milk/choc/cocoa base as the adult hot chocolate above, then let them customise their hot cocoas with a selection of festive extras: mini-marshmallows, green & red sprinkles, striped candy canes, coloured straws, and anything else your little ones would love to add to show the world it’s Christmas.
