There’s no better time for warm drinks than December — they make every moment feel like a hug. Here are a few of my go-to cozy sips for cold mornings and late-night study sessions:

1. Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Melt chocolate chips in warm milk, add a candy cane stirrer, and top with whipped cream.

2. Vanilla Chai Latte

Steep chai tea, mix in milk, honey, and a drop of vanilla extract.

3. Gingerbread Coffee

Add molasses, cinnamon, and nutmeg to your morning coffee — instant cozy.

4. Warm Apple Cider

Simmer apple cider with cinnamon sticks and orange slices for the perfect winter scent.

5. Caramel Oat Milk Latte

The creamy, nutty texture makes this one feel like a café moment at home.

Light a candle, grab your favorite mug, and let yourself slow down.
