Gingerbread hot chocolate is the best around! This recipe has three secret ingredients that make it so. Curl up by the fire and sip this all day long.
Nothing beats homemade hot chocolate. It’s super quick and easy to make. If you make it yourself you can control what goes in it which is a huge perk.
I made this gingerbread hot chocolate recipe some time ago for Food Fanatic. I’m one of their contributors. My speciality is chocolate recipes. I know, right. Talk about the perfect gig.
This girl happens to be a big fan of making her own hot cocoa mix. It’s another easy DIY Recipe. Good hot cocoa mix can cost a fortune to buy in stores. Making your own saves money.

My family and I live in Canada so winters can be brutal here. We spend a fair amount of time outdoors with the dogs and horses so we love homemade hot chocolate when we come in from the cold.
One of my personal faves is gingerbread hot chocolate. I love making it, especially around the holidays. Nothing screams Christmas like the smell of gingerbread.
My daughter is OBSESSED with Biscoff. She keeps a jar of it in her barrack box while she’s away for military jobs. I keep it stockpiled in my pantry for when she’s home.
Don’t tell her I told you that. The girl has mad combat skills so she could probably kick my butt if she wanted to. Okay, don’t tell her that either.
We have an ongoing joke that I’m still tougher than her. I also tease her that I’m taller than her. Both are open to much debate but I’ll never admit it to her.
Okay, moving on. I implore you to make this gingerbread hot chocolate recipe immediately. Yes, I used the word implore. People don’t use that word enough. I’m bringing it back. Or not.
All I know is you all need to make this recipe immediately and let me know what you think of it. We love it and I hope you do too. I highly suggest making it on Christmas Eve.
If you’re making this for your adult crew I highly recommend adding a little rum or brandy to it! Make sure you add some gingerbread men and lots of marshmallows too!

Tools used for making hot chocolate:
- Saucepan: Everyone needs a good saucepan or two. I have a couple of sets since I cook so often. Make sure you saucepan is the right size for each job.
- Whisk: I have WAY too many whisks. The one in the photo is one I purchased from Anthropologie years ago.
- Mugs: I used copper mugs for this photo shoot but use your own personal favourite mug!
Whip up a batch or two of this gingerbread hot chocolate today. Be sure to make some gingerbread cookies while you’re at it. Or whip up some mini gingerbread house hot chocolate mug perches.
If you dig cute cookies I also have some gingerbread bear cookies and gingerbread horse cookies. Our horse is named Ginger so every year we make horse shaped gingerbread cookies. It’s tradition.

Yum! Biscoff spread is my weakness so definitely going to have to give these a try! I just got copper mugs as well so, hopefully they turn out as cute as yours! Thanks for posting on Inspiration Monday 🙂

This is a great recipe and glad you’ve shared it! However, never having used Biscoff on anything (let alone know where to find it – I had to look online for stores), why do you put this in Hot Chocolate?
Kim Beaulieu says
Hi Margaret. Biscoff is what makes it taste like gingerbread cookies. You can use fresh ginger if you like or can’t access cookie butter (Biscoff). Fresh ginger and some sugar would do the trick. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Margaret Robinson says
Thanks – will try the Biscoff. Although I’ve never seen it in any of our grocery stores, I’ve never honestly looked so it’s probably just sitting there waiting for me to grab a jar! Happy Holidays – MMR

If you look by the peanut butter you should find cookie butter. Any brand will do. My daughter LOVES the brand from Walmart. Pernotti Cookie Notti Cookie Butter. We make cookie butter krispies with it quite often.

Yummy! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I don’t think I’ve ever made gingerbread hot cocoa. Will definitely have to try this and have included this in a hot cocoa roundup.

I love gingerbread and hot cocoa, but I don’t think I’ve ever had them together! Your recipe sounds delicious, and I love those mini gingerbread man cookies. Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday – I’ll be featuring your hot cocoa as part of our upcoming party.
