Calling all hot chocolate lovers! Hotel Chocolat has announced the return of its sell-out Velvetiser Advent Calendar for 2024 and boy are we excited - it is a calendar not to be missed.
This year, the calendar will include a curation of 24 decadent drinking chocolates so you can count down to Christmas by curling up with a cup of hot chocolate or settling down to savour a cool, refreshing cup of iced chocolate for 24 days of December.
Expect to find seasonal exclusives in the calendar like the creamy Coconut-White (and my personal favourite which tastes just like a Raffaello chocolate), warming Pumpkin Spice, as well as velvety-smooth classics. But you'll have to be quick as last year’s offering sold out long before the 1st of December…
In fact, it was so popular last year that it sold out within the first three weeks via the waitlist! If you're keen to get your hands on one this year, you can join the waitlist now and be notified once it's available for purchase. The Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser Advent Calendar will retail for £50 and officially goes on sale on 3 September 2024.
If you needed convincing that a Velvetiser is the gift for Christmas gifting this year, the GHI rated it a whopping 92/100 in their rigorous tests, revealing that it makes excellent velvety drinks (hot chocolate, coffee, milkshakes and indulgent cocktails), it's easy to use (and consistent), there's loads of flavour options, and it's easy to clean!
