I am being compensated for my participation in this campaign. As part of the Mom It Forward Blogger Network, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own.

This time of there usually means a busy time of year. Most of the activities and traditions that we schedule out are great, family filled fun but the fact is, we are rushing through this season and forgetting to stop and enjoy a delicious cup of hot cocoa.  Have you thought of that?  Look at your schedule, what is on the list?  Lots of holiday traditions but are you truly enjoying those traditions and taking the time with your kids to make even more meaningful memories?  Yeah, me either.  To achieve this doesn’t take much.  Clear the crazy, stop the bustle and enjoy that cup of hot cocoa with your family.

How do we do this? Simply pick up some of your favorite Hot Cocoa; we prefer Stephen’s Gourmet Cocoa, and start enjoying some quiet fun time at home with your family.  My kids start asking for hot cocoa the moment the holiday season begins, honestly in the past I have made them a cup and moved on to my holiday to do list.  This year, I am doing this differently.  My kids don’t just want me to hand them the hot cocoa, they want me to spend time with them in the holiday elements.  

Why do we choose Stephen’s Gourmet Cocoa?
Their cocoa is rich, creamy and quite simply the tastiest you’ve ever had. They also make sure to create new and unique flavors.  Some of the very creative and delicious Stephen’s Gourmet Cocoa flavors include; Salted Caramel, CandyCane, Mint Truffle, Dark Chocolate and S’mores!  SO GOOD and perfect for the holiday season.  
Alright, now that we have our perfect cup of hot cocoa it is time to enjoy some family time.  I don’t know about your kids but my kids love marshmallows in their cocoa.  I decided that while we had this time at home we would do a little food crafting.  Turned on the Christmas tree lights, lit a holiday themed candle and told google to play holiday music…mood set!

Our fun holiday themed food craft involved marshmallows and chocolate AND our Stephen’s Cocoa.  I am so happy with how these adorable Snowmen Marshmallows turned out.  The kids loved helping me make them but loved enjoying them in their hot cocoa even more.  What started as a simple cup of cocoa with the family turned into a special treat filled with so many memories.

Once we had our snowman marshmallows all complete we set them in our hot cocoa for a chocolate bath!  Such a fun afternoon with my kids.  Not only did we get some craft time, but after our craft was over we sat in our living room with our lit tree and enjoyed our hot cocoa over some family conversations.  This holiday hustle and bustle break was so needed and reminded me that these simple moments are just as important as those big holiday traditions on the calendar.

Stephen’s Hot Cocoa is perfect to have on hand for these special moments but they are also great to give as gifts this holiday season.  I have already started working on a cute gift basket idea using the hot chocolate containers for my kids’ teachers.  They also deserve some simple hot cocoa moments!
