As the weather gets colder, the demand for hot beverages increase, and 7-ELEVEN has joined in by releasing its new Winter Wonderland Cocoa.
The Winter Wonderland Cocoa stands out among the rest as it is a bright red color and has candy cane flavoring. Consumers will be delighted to know customization of the beverage is free of cost for toppings, "like marshmallows, cinnamon, caramel, or add a variety of sweeteners," according to Elite Daily.
For those who are part of the 7-ELEVEN membership program can buy any sized coffee or hot chocolate with a muffin for just $2.
7-ELEVEN is sure that it is the perfect drink "for curling up by the fire or trudging through snow." The beverage is only available for a limited time at select locations.
