Temperatures may be dropping across most of North America, but Disneyland is heating things up with a sweet and spicy new drink known as the Frozen Abuelita Chocolate and Horchata. Created as part of the park's Halloween and Día de los Muertos celebrations, the [frozen drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-beverages) offers a delicious way to indulge in fall flavors.

The new Frozen Abuelita Chocolate and Horchata drink is a sweet and spicy creation available from Rancho del Zocalo in the main Disneyland park. For $6 a pop, guests can sip on a [frozen Mexican cinnamon hot chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mexican-hot-chocolate-beverages) layered with frozen horchata, which is a classic Spanish and Latin American rice milk drink. The whole thing is then topped with spiced whipped cream for the perfect blend of sweet and heat.
