On October 8th, Hotel Chocolat USA hosted its Cacao Growers Holiday Showcase at the Ivy Room in The Royalton Park Avenue Hotel. The night was full of sweet delights, festive decor, and the company’s spectacular Holiday products.
Believe it or not, the holidays are right around the corner, and Hotel Chocolat is ready with a holiday collection that will get you in the spirit. What better way to experience this collection than with a holiday showcase on a hotel rooftop? Guests were greeted with two holiday-themed cocktails, a Chocolate Espresso Martini and an Old Fashioned with a chocolate rim. The evening included light bites, live music, and no shortage of hot chocolate samples. While enjoying their drinks, guests also nibbled on chocolate truffles and warm cookies.
Hotel Chocolat displayed seasonal products that are sure to top Christmas lists. Their newly launched Advent Calendar was a big hit, and for good reason. Behind every door is a single-serve sachet of their creamy hot chocolate, providing a sweet surprise of 16 unique flavors over 24 days.ย There are many flavors to look forward to, including Peppermint Dark Hot Chocolate, Vanilla White Hot Chocolate, Hazelnut Praline, and Salted Caramel. The best way to make the hot chocolate you get from the advent calendar would be to use Hotel Chocolat’s revolutionary hot chocolate maker, the Velvetiser.
The Velvetiser, which comes in Charcoal, Copper, White, and Platinum, was on display at the event for guests. It’s incredibly straightforward to use. All it takes to make creamy, European-style hot chocolate right in your kitchen is your choice of milk, one sachet of your chosen hot chocolate flavor, and just two and a half minutes in the Velvetiser. The Velvetiser proves it is possible to enjoy a luxurious treat with minimal effort.
The event also highlighted Hotel Chocolat’s commitment to sustainability and “gentle farming” proving products can taste good AND do good! Their “gentle farming” program benefits both farmers and nature as its number one ingredient is nature-positive cacao. Hotel Chocolat is committed to growing these initiatives by reinvesting 10% of profits into this program.
Between the drinks, treats, lovely setup, and company, it was a night to remember!
If someone on your holiday list has a sweet tooth, any products displayed at this showcase would make the perfect holiday gift! Or why not treat yourself – you deserve it!
