December is the month for a few food holidays that focus on cookies and sweet treats, so it’s probably no surprise that National Hot Cocoa Day is right in the thick of it on Dec. 13.
Not to be confused with the totally different National Hot Chocolate Day on Jan. 31, National Hot Cocoa Day is a day to celebrate the powdered cocoa, sugar, and additional flavorings mix.
So what can you look for on Dec. 13 this year? Here are all the National Hot Cocoa Day deals we expect based on what we found during the last event.
Offers, prices, savings, and local participation may vary.
National Hot Cocoa Day is a day when restaurants offer the popular drink for free or cheap.
National Hot Cocoa Day celebrates the popular cold-weather drink with deals from a bunch of national restaurants — such as cheap or free cups of hot cocoa at popular coffee chains like Starbucks, Pret a Manger, and McDonald's, as well as online promotions from retailers like Keurig and Ghirardelli offering discounts on hot cocoa purchases.
National Hot Cocoa Day happens every year on Dec. 13.
National Hot Cocoa Day takes place every year on Dec. 13. In 2025, this food holiday will take place on a Saturday. The Dec. 13 date holds no special significance, but we’re guessing the mid-December date was picked because colder weather months are prime time for drinking hot cocoa.
