Mrs. Claus' Secret Hot Chocolate Recipes

© Mrs. Claus

Hi Kids! Mrs. Claus here. I've just finished sewing Santa's new suit. It's all ready for Christmas Eve. That's a relief.

You probably know that Santa loves hot chocolate. It warms him after being out in the frigid temperatures here at the North Pole. I have several recipes for Santa's favorite drink, but I've always kept them secret. Until now! This year, I'm going to share a few of them with the good girls and boys here at Kids' Korner.
