Warm Wishes – Take-and-Go Hot Chocolate

Combat the winter chill by including packets of take-and-go hot chocolate. Opt for individual servings or create DIY hot chocolate cones with layered cocoa, marshmallows, and festive sprinkles. Your family can enjoy a warm cup of cocoa while marveling at the twinkling lights.
