While Christmas may have come and gone there’s one thing that you can still enjoy that will help prolong that holiday spirit: Hot chocolate!

Even after Christmas, you can sip on a cup of hot cocoa well into winter without any judgement. Whether you need something to warm you up or you’re hankering for something sweet, hot chocolate is the answer to all your cold weather problems.

While a simple, traditional mug of hot chocolate may do the trick, there are plenty of sweet upgrades to add to your classic drink. And thanks to the charcuterie trend, there's a fun way to organize your fixings and put together the perfect cup. From hot cocoa bombs to candy canes, chocolates to marshmallows, there are so many sweet things you can fill your board with. Here are six boards we think you could you use as inspiration for your next hot cocoa spread:
