Growing up, the best part of winter was always snow. The first thing I did when I woke up was run to my bedroom window and look outside to see if there were any snowflakes. Do you remember those special snow rituals, like putting a spoon under your pillow, wearing your pajamas inside out or flushing ice cubes down the toilet? Well, I did them all just for that one chance of a snow day.

After a day of fun in the snow, nothing beats coming home to steaming cups of hot chocolate.

Even though snow is definitely not my favorite now (like most adults), my feelings for hot cocoa have never changed. That first sip of creamy chocolate has now become the best part of winter, and reminds me of everything I love about the season. While we may not be coming home from a fun snow adventure, warming up with a mug of your favorite hot beverage still does the trick whether you've just finished shoveling or ending a long commute from work.

While hot chocolate is magic in and of itself, no matter how old you are, we rounded up trinkets, treats and must-have hot cocoa accessories to make that cozy cup even more special.
