Red wine-spiked hot chocolate is new drink of Christmas

Move over gin and tonic - there is a new perfect drinks combination that will warm the hearts of all this holiday season.

Thanks to some ingenious chefs who decided to experiment with combinations of their, and our, favourite beverages - wine and hot chocolate - the internet has now been blessed with recipes for red wine-laced hot chocolate.

A food blogger recently shared her recipe for boozy hot chocolate recipe, which she came up with after pondering: "you can eat chocolate with wine, so why not put chocolate in wine?” - and the internet response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Yes please!! Deck the halls with jugs of red wine hot chocolate please! https://t.co/DdqfxjFsPd
