As the nights draw in and festive celebrations begin, Asda is helping shoppers recreate their favourite coffee shop moments from the comfort of their home with the launch of a delicious new menu of seasonal hot drinks and sweet treats.
Featuring everything from on-trend drinking chocolate flavours, to premium chocolate bombes, interactive stirrers and festive mug toppers, the range has been designed to transform everyday hot drinks into special seasonal moments.
With popular ‘Black Forest’ hot chocolates costing upwards of £4.70 per small cup in popular high-street coffee shops*, Asda shoppers can enjoy indulging in this café-style flavour at home for just 17p per mug* using Asda’s own-label Black Forest Hot Chocolate – making it easier than ever to embrace cosy season without the premium price tag.
Eagle-eyed customers are already loving the range, with comments on social media saying: “Black Forest one will be like having Costa ones if you add cream”, “The rum and raisin is delicious!”, “The Black Forest hot chocolate is lush” and “Need to take a detour to Asda”.
Leading new in Asda’s more premium, Exceptional range for the 2026 range is the Exceptional Rum & Raisin White Hot Chocolate (£3.00, 16 servings), a luxuriously smooth white hot chocolate infused with warming notes of rum and raisin and finished with creamy white chocolate pieces for added indulgence.
For shoppers looking to create a little festive theatre, the Exceptional Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Bombe (£2.25) delivers the ultimate hot chocolate experience. Crafted with quality Belgian milk chocolate and filled with fluffy marshmallows, the chocolate shell melts away when warm milk is poured over it, revealing a rich salted caramel hot chocolate beneath.
The festive flavour line-up includes Asda’s popular returners, the Asda Merry Mint Flavour Hot Chocolate (£2.75, 16 servings), combining rich chocolate with refreshing notes of mint, and the Asda Magical Black Forest Flavour Hot Chocolate (£2.75, 16 servings), which brings together indulgent chocolate and classic black forest flavours for a dessert-inspired drink.
Adding a playful touch, shoppers can stir up their favourite hot drinks with the Asda Merry Marshmallow Chocolate Stirrer (£1.78), topped with fluffy mini marshmallows, or the Asda Snowman Hot Chocolate Stirrer (£1.70), a chocolate snowman spoon that slowly melts into warm milk to create a deliciously creamy hot chocolate.
No festive drink is complete without a finishing flourish. For a sprinkle of festiveness, customers can also pick up the Asda Magical Mini Star Mallows (£1.30 or 2 for £2.00), or the new Asda Merry Mug Mates (£1.50, 16 pack), adorable gingerbread-shaped cinnamon and sugar biscuits designed to perch on the rim of a mug, turning any hot drink into an Instagram-worthy festive treat.
With customers already going wild for the Mug Mates, comments on social media say: “Such a cute idea”, “Neeed for my hot chocolate station”, “Omg I need” and “As if I need another excuse to make a hot chocolate”.
Whether hosting friends, enjoying a festive film night, or looking for a thoughtful stocking filler, Asda’s festive hot drink range offers something for everyone this Christmas.
