Ready to get festive? A sneak peek of the Hotel Chocolat 2024 Christmas collection
5 Nov 2024
Get ready for a magical festive season filled with twinkling lights, quality time, and flavours you can’t resist…
This season, we’ve conjured up a chocolate line-up that combines our innovative cacao expertise with indescribable moments of pure indulgence. White, dark, caramel, or milk chocolate. Whichever takes your fancy most, the Hotel Chocolat Christmas chocolate collection is here to make every wintry evening just that touch more special.
Join us for a sneak peek of our finest Christmas chocolate offerings, crafted with love by our chocolatiers.
A Dozen Chocolate Gingerbread Men
Who could resist these twelve delightful chocolate gingerbread men? Except, there’s no baking required this time — our chocolatiers have already done all the hard work for you.
With a snap of their 40% milk chocolate shell, these chocolate gingerbread men release waves of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger – all wrapped in the smooth richness of high-quality cacao for a moreish and mellow taste. Why not pair it with a mug of drinking chocolate, too?
Our gingerbread folk are crafted with conched chocolate for a silky finish. And we invite you to savour each warming note of spice — one cheerful bite at a time. These charming companions will add a touch of fun to your gatherings, making for a delightful nibble that perfectly balances bold cacao intensity with nostalgic holiday warmth.
The Winter Puddings Sleekster
We’ve taken the classic winter desserts you know and love, and transformed them into chocolate form. The result? Our Winter Puddings Sleekster. Don’t worry, we’ve made sure to preserve the comforting richness and texture you expect from each pudding.
From the tart sweetness of Gooseberry Crumble to classic Carrot Cake, each piece will transport you to a treasured flavour memory. Perfect for sharing with loved ones or stashing away for yourself.
Expect textures that melt smoothly on the tongue, layers of flavour, and the satisfaction of choice. Winter indulgence at its best – no spoon required.
Salted Caramel and Clementine Hot Chocolate
When it’s too cold outside for anything but a warm mug of cacao, our Salted Caramel and Clementine Hot Chocolate can save the day with a festive twist. Bursting with just the right amount of zingy citrus and soothing caramel notes, it’s the burst of brightness you need after a cold, dark day.
Pour the delectable single-serve hot chocolate sachet into your Velvetiser, and prepare yourself for a silky blend. Here, citrus zest and salted caramel collide in perfect harmony.
Crafted with finely milled cacao for a texture like no other, it’s a celebration of winter’s boldest flavours, with an irresistible caramel finish that will have you reaching for seconds.
The Nice Slice
We’ve designed The Nice Slice for those who believe chocolate is best enjoyed in good company. On top of The Nice Slice, you’ll find a huddle of caramel-milk penguins in their bobble hats — they just couldn’t bear to miss out on the action.
Inspired by the fridge cake, you can break off a piece of this thick 50% milk cacao slice to reveal smooth hazelnut and almond praline, filled with a satisfying amount of crunch from crispy puffed rice, corn flakes, and caramel éclat.
Smooth, nutty, and oh-so festive, it’s the slice that keeps on giving – one that’s made for the centre of the table (or a quiet evening by the fire).
The Advent Calendar for Two
There will be no arguments about advent calendars this year — especially not with The Advent Calendar for Two. We believe indulgence should be shared. So our couple’s advent calendar offers a variety of truffles for each day to inspire your festive season.
Behind each door, you’ll find two identical chocolates. Double the chocolate, double the flavour, with one flavour experience waiting to be shared.
Each truffle is carefully curated to balance the right amount of festive flavour with our signature cacao, offering a daily reminder that some things in life (and, of course, chocolate) are best shared.
Milk Chocolate Jolly Penguin
Our Milk Chocolate Jolly Penguin is back this year, bringing cheer and deliciousness in equal measure. Made from our signature milk chocolate, this friendly figure combines creamy sweetness with depth of cacao richness to satisfy both young and old taste buds.
This charming character started off as a drawing in our Cambridgeshire Inventing Room — designed by our Chocolate Sculptress. He’s donned his yellow cacao boots, wrapped up warm, and he’s ready for the festive fun. The one thing he wants for Christmas? Someone to wrap him up and take him home.
Our Jolly Penguin is a delightful chocolate stocking filler and the perfect gift for a touch of fun under the Christmas tree. Best served in front of a classic Christmas film, and a mug of hot cacao.
The Grand Wreath Box
What’s Christmas without a showstopper? The Grand Wreath Box has returned to take centre stage. An impressive selection of pralines, truffles, and caramels take the lead with their warming winter-inspired flavours.
From the nutty richness of praline to the silky melt of our caramel, this wreath embodies exactly what chocolate means to us here at Hotel Chocolat — innovation, excitement, and authentic chocolate flavour.
Perfect as a centrepiece or as shared indulgence, each morsel of our Grand Wreath Box promises a smooth texture and intricate flavours.
The Velvetiser Drinking Chocolate Advent Calendar
For the chocolate aficionado who knows that anticipation is part (if not, all) of the joy, we present The Velvetiser Drinking Chocolate Advent Calendar. Open the door each day to reveal a sachet of our finest drinking chocolate. If you thought that was all, we’ve even included a few of our limited-edition flavours like our Pecan Cinnamon Danish — inspired by the buttery, best-loved pastry.
With flavours ranging from the classic and nostalgic to the unexpected, we invite you to build a new daily ritual that makes every December morning feel like a special occasion.
The Velvetiser – Satin Black (Limited Edition)
No Hotel Chocolat experience would be complete without The Velvetiser, so we’ve unveiled our limited edition Satin Black Velvetiser to elevate your winter evenings.
Designed for the perfect cup of drinking chocolate, this sleek and chic Velvetiser brings together form and function, offering an indulgent pour that’s ready in a matter of minutes.
Add your favourite Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate, and watch it transform into a velvety masterpiece. It’s the ultimate finishing touch to any winter’s day.
