December is the month of holiday 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. And to celebrate this food holiday, we’ve found all the least expensive ways that you can get hot cocoa to mark the occasion.

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. (But it’s easy to get hot cocoa and hot chocolate mixed up, so you’ll find some hot chocolate deals on this list.)

When is National Hot Cocoa Day?

National Hot Cocoa Day is on Dec. 13 every year, and in 2023 it takes place on a Wednesday. Cocoa (powder) comes from grinding cacao beans, which have been used for thousands of years as an energy booster, sacred ceremonial offerings, and trade currency. Today, we use cocoa powder to make several products, including chocolate candies and beverages, like hot cocoa.
