This year I experimented with Peppermint Hot Chocolate - some of the kids loved it and others didn't care for the flavor.
I lined the cups up along the back of the car and divided the chocolate among them. I had loaded up my basket with various adult beverages (peppermint schnapps, Godiva chocolate liqueur, creme de cacao and Kahlua were what I had in the liquor cabinet) so the parents could adjust the drink to their liking.
This will be the perfect accompaniment to the ice and snow forecast to come through over the next couple of days.
