UPGRADE YOUR BORING HOT CHOCOLATE WITH THESE REINDEER WHIPPED CREAM FLOATS
Nothing completes a cozy holiday celebration like a warming cup of hot chocolate. There's something about snuggling in your PJs, hanging out with your family and friends, and taking a sip of that warm cocoa with a rich whipped cream topping and sharing your favorite holiday treats. We love a classic, but this recipe is for when you want to be extra festive. By freezing your whipped cream and decorating with M&Ms, eyeball sprinkles, and Pocky sticks, you can turn your boring cup of hot chocolate into an adorable reindeer treat.
The actual assembly of the frozen whipped cream decoration only takes a few minutes, but it will need to freeze for a minimum of 6 hours. The good news is it can last for about a month in the freezer, so you can make them ahead of time, then use them for your holiday parties all month long! Just make sure to add the M&M's and sprinkles right before serving; otherwise, they can bleed onto the whipped cream while freezing.
