When you decorate a Christmas tree, you have an opportunity to show off your personality on its branches. If you get creative, you can find ornaments adorned with holiday themes or shaped like your favorite foods. Case in point: Dollar Tree just rolled out the cutest hot cocoa ornaments, which are adorable (and drinkable!).

If you visit Dollar Tree, you’ll find these Starbucks-looking paper cups filled with dark chocolate cocoa mix for $1.25. They are designed with a festive red ribbon on top, so you can hang them up and use them as ornaments. You can choose from three different patterns, each boasting the holiday spirit. 

To make the hot chocolate, simply pour hot water or milk into these cups filled with cocoa mix. If you’re hosting a holiday party, spike them with your favorite booze like rum or bourbon. 

On social media, festive shoppers are raving about these hot chocolate ornaments, with one person saying they’re “so cute” and another calling out that they’re “running to Dollar Tree.”

If you stock up on a bunch of these hot chocolate ornaments, you can use them as stocking stuffers, too. They’re such a budget-friendly and cozy gift. 

Dollar Tree also sells Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Bombs for $1.25 on its shelves, and they’re the perfect stocking stuffer. The milk chocolate balls contain cocoa mix and marshmallows, and once you place them in hot water or steamy milk, they’ll melt into a delicious drink. 

Creamy, rich, and warming hot chocolate is quintessential of the holiday season and the chillier weather. So, if you’re looking for a cozy gift for loved ones or want the convenience of grabbing hot cocoa straight from your Christmas tree, you’ll want to take a trip to Dollar Tree to stock up on these festive and delicious gems.
