This December, there is a wide array of advent calendar options available, ranging from beauty to toys, but the classic chocolate calendar remains a favorite choice for many. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out the new Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser drinking chocolate machine, and it has exceeded my expectations. The machine produces exceptionally delicious hot chocolate, and now it even caters to cold chocolate drinks, which I enjoy indulging in regularly. To my delight, Hotel Chocolat has introduced a Velvetiser advent calendar for this year, offering a unique twist on the traditional chocolate countdown.
The Velvetiser Drinking Chocolate Advent Calendar by Hotel Chocolat is priced at £50 and features 24 doors, each containing a sachet of Hotel Chocolat drinking chocolate in various flavors. These are not your average cocoa mixes but finely grated real chocolate, ensuring a luxurious drinking experience. With each drink costing just over £2 (excluding the cost of milk), this calendar provides a more economical option compared to purchasing a hot chocolate from a Hotel Chocolat café, where prices average around £4 per drink.
Inside the calendar, you will discover 16 different flavors, including classic favorites like milky 50% and hazelnut praline, as well as seasonal variations such as pumpkin spice and salted caramel & clementine. Despite not being a big fan of flavored chocolate, I have sampled several of these flavors and have yet to come across one that disappoints – the chili flavor is surprisingly delightful.
While owning a Velvetiser is essential to fully enjoy this advent calendar, the new model is available for £149.95. Alternatively, you can still savor the drinking chocolate by simply combining it with hot milk in a pan.
For those seeking a more traditional chocolate advent calendar, there are numerous options available, with Cadbury’s website offering a wide selection, including money-saving bundles. Amazon also serves as a convenient platform for last-minute calendar purchases.
