Costa Has Launched Its Festive Menu And Black Forest Hot Chocolates Are Back

As all the high-street coffee shops start launching their festive menus, one of them has made a strong play to stand out from the crowd…

Amid a plethora of pumpkin-spice, Costa has released its new menu and - unsurprisingly - people have been quick to zero in on one particular item. 

The one that seems to have got people excited all over again is the Black Forest & Cream Hot Chocolate - and it’s really not too hard to see why. 

The decadent drink combines rich, creamy chocolate with mouth-watering cherry sauce drizzle and chocolate curls, all topped off with an indulgent swirl of whipped cream - chuck in a crackling log fire and The Muppet Christmas Carol and you’ll struggle for a more Christmasy scene!
