It’s our 2024 Christmas Brunch: Hot Cocoa Punch Recipe!
What’s special about Hot Cocoa Punch? EVERYTHING.
The mug, the taste, the fun treat. We made this for our kids last week, because of course we had to taste test all of our Christmas Brunch recipes before we shared them with you. What did they think?
Hot Cocoa Punch is a perfectly fun treat, and tastes wonderful after enjoying our Holiday Spice Muffins and Christmas Casserole.
Step 1: Make Hot Cocoa
Make it with a packet. Make it from scratch. Do whatever works for you. At our house we do either/or depending on our ability of the day. But our favorite Hot Cocoa is this and it’s worth taking a few extra minutes to make a batch.
Step 2: Pull out the vanilla ice cream
Again, buy it at the store or make it from scratch. If you can make Vanilla Ice Cream like this – WOW is it good! (Maybe you should ask for a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker for Christmas!)
Step 3: Put your punch together
Scoop Ice Cream into Mugs. Then pour in some hot cocoa. Suddenly you’ve got a creamy, frothy mug of delicious Hot Cocoa Punch!
This is easy, fun, and can be made with the finest of ingredients or with a packet and a spoon!
