The time for Pumpkin Spice should be over in Utah and welcoming all things hot chocolate. 

Now, if you are an avid pumpkin spice person, no judgment but once it hits the middle of November, hot chocolate should be on the menu. It seems like the state is maintaining its cold weather and with Thanksgiving coming up, some people may need the coziest drink they can get.  

Hot chocolate has been popular forever and is the perfect treat in cold weather. Plus, you already got pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving so mix it up a bit.  

There are several ways that people can get hot chocolate. In fact, I have even had pink hot chocolate before. The combinations are endless, and the hot drink is super easy to make at home.  

Now I do believe that certain packaged hot chocolate is better than others but hey you grab what you can afford, right?  

However, if you are looking to try some different kinds of hot chocolate this year, there are several recipes that are specific to regions and countries. Heck, you could do 12 days of hot chocolate if you wanted to.  

The most popular would probably Mexican hot chocolate which consists of cinnamon and cayenne to make it unique. Add a little spice to it.  

There are also recipes provided by World Strides from Columbia, China, India and more.  

For those who like a little booze in their drinks, hot chocolate also provides a great option for that. I mean, family gatherings can get intense.  

Basically, Utah needs to embrace the Winter vibes already and get going on the hot chocolate trends.
