10 Frozen Hot Chocolate Creations

Frozen hot chocolate is having a moment this holiday season, emerging as a refreshing counterpoint to the usual lineup of warm, wintry comforts. Consumers are gravitating toward treats that feel festive without being heavy, resulting in heightened demand for frozen hot chocolate. This year, for a limited time, Jamba is serving Frozen Hot Chocolate with Nutella and coconut whip, and Starbucks cafés located within Target stores have an exclusive Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate on the menu.

While this indulgent out-of-home favorite is usually best ordered at cafes and dessert shops—like NYC's iconic Serendipity3—some brands offer allergen-friendly frozen hot cocoa mixes that are ready to prepare at home, on demand, just by adding water or a plant-based beverage of choice.
