Looking for a delicious hot chocolate recipe to serve on Christmas Eve to guests or to make as you curl up and watch a movie? This candy cane hot chocolate recipe is my go-to for our hot chocolate Christmas traditions! I hope it makes it into yours as well! Keep reading for the recipe and little Christmas devotion on the promise of Christmas.... The Promise Christmas is so much more than trees and lights and presents and food. It is more than gathering with family and friends. It is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, but it is also a celebration of promise. A promise of hope, peace, redemption, and life. It is a promise that God is with us. That He loves us. A promise that though life has trials and hardships, God is faithful and good. For unto us a child was born and through Him hope was gifted to those who believe. Let us celebrate this hope. This redemption. This peace. This life eternal. Bring whatever you have -whether your faith be little or big- to the manger. And in return, receive a gift like no other. This Christmas I wish you joy where there is sadness. Peace where there is anxiety. Expectation where there is trepidation. Hope where there is defeat. And rest where there is weariness. May your day be filled with not only love of family and/or friends, but filled with the promises that Jesus brings. For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 The Recipe
