Bring a little holiday magic to your cocoa station with creamy hot chocolate, fun toppings, and Brew Glitter® edible glitter for drinks. It is an easy way to make every mug look festive, photo-ready, and perfect for cozy celebrations.

Would you like to know the real highlight of the holidays? Hot chocolate-  - especially in a sparkly, Instagram-ready version. It's a good excuse to get family and friends together. Throw on some tunes, invite everyone while they're in their pajamas, and swirl in some homemade cocoa mix into your holiday mug. Don’t forget the drink glitter toppings!

Start with a Creamy Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

The best hot cocoa is loaded with all the good stuff- everything from swizzle sticks, peppermint crumbles, marshmallows, and toffee bits. And once you top your cocoa with a fluffy cloud of whipped cream, make sure to sprinkle our best edible glitter for drinks and holiday party beverages.

The best hot cocoa starts with a rich, creamy base. For our mix, we combined:

• 1 cup powdered milk

• 1 cup powdered coffee creamer

• 1 ½ cups unsweetened cacao

• 1 cup Nesquik

• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Add everything to a large jar, shake it well, and you have a smooth homemade cocoa mix ready for your party. 

Add Toppings That Make Every Mug Feel Custom

When you are building the ultimate cup of hot chocolate, the toppings matter. The more options you offer, the more fun your guests will have. Try adding:

• Marshmallows

• Chocolate chips

• Whipped cream

• Cookie pieces

• Cocktail rimming sugar

Homemade marshmallows are easier than you think. If you are up for the extra step, make your own with gelatin, corn syrup, and sugar. You can play with different colors, flavors, and shapes, which makes the whole setup feel more personal. For extra sparkle, rim your mugs with Brew Glitter® Red Pearl Sugar Rim or another color-changing drink glitter. It gives every cup a sweet, decorative edge and adds more holiday charm before the first sip.
