Advent calendars
No Christmas countdown should begin without an advent calendar - and Hotel Chocolat never disappoints, especially with a new addition for 2023 - The Velvetiser Drinking Chocolate Advent Calendar, for those lucky enough to own the super stylish and highly-rated Velvetiser hot chocolate machine, this new calendar features 24 sachets to make December as sweet and magical as can be. Sadly it is sold out but fear not! The brand still has the Grand Advent Calendar with a delicious gift behind every window, including elegant cacao-infused tipples, crackers to decorate your tree, a chocolate wreath and plenty more.
Gifting
Hotel Chocolat also has plenty of gifts this year. From tins filled with chocolates to boozy bottles, there's something for every budget and preference.
The brand new Nice Slice is the brands answer to one of our favourites - a fridge cake. It's an elegant mix of smooth hazelnut and almond praline, packed with loads of crunchy pieces, and perching on top are solid, mellow and malty caramel-milk chocolate penguins.
A new favourite also includes the Cookies Luxe gift box which houses four decadent chocolate biscuits, each with a satisfyingly nutty crunch, and topped with a hazelnut praline penguin... almost too adorable to eat! Plus, it comes in a beautifully hammered bronze tin which we'd keep on display in our kitchen, too.
Another new product includes The Big Dipper - Favourites Edition, which comes in a lovely white tin (which I've reused as a plant pot at home) and is filled with 28 individually wrapped chocolates including Billionaire’s Shortbread, Raspberry Panna Cotta, Pecan Praline and a 70% Dark Dizzy, just to name a few.
There's also nothing better enjoyed at Christmas than a festive tipple. As part of its festive liqueur range, Hotel Chocolat has some fabulous flavours to buy this Christmas, including the brand new Black Forest Gateau Velvetised Cream, and other favourites like its Salted Caramel, Chocolate Mint and Espresso Martini Velvetised Creams.
Stocking fillers
Hotel Chocolat has also brought out collectible tins featuring chocolate-covered brazil nuts and chocolate-covered salted, caramelised almonds that make ideal stocking fillers or smaller gifts for your loved ones.
It's not Christmas in my household without chocolate-covered almonds so this has gone into my shopping basket almost immediately!
