— January 27, 2019 — Lifestyle
If you need something to get you through the rest of winter, you might want to head to PHD Terrace at Dream Midtown for a giant hot chocolate. Of course, you'll want to bring some friends with you as this cup of hot cocoa clocks in at a whopping 20 pounds.

In honor of National Hot Chocolate Day on January 31st, PHD Terrace at New York City's Dream Midtown hotel is serving up a giant hot chocolate. But this isn't just any cup of hot cocoa. This monstrous drink consists of 20 pounds worth of hot chocolate, marshmallows, and your choice for booze. In fact, the drink is so large that comes with smaller mugs so it can be shared with friends. And you'll definitely want to split the cost with friends as this boozy chocolate cocktail will set you back $375.
