It’s not Christmas if you don’t have a warm mug in your hand, and with the holiday fast approaching, we’ve got a list curated on how to enjoy a festive spin on your coffee. Here’s what makes it unique, along with our best products here at York Emporium, to ensure it’s a seasonal classic.
What Makes Christmas Coffee Special?
Adding Christmas to your coffee means it’s more than just a drink; it’s a blend of carefully selected spices and aromas that evoke warmth and cheer. Christmas coffee typically includes flavours such as cinnamon and more affluent, dessert-inspired notes like chocolate.
Here’s what we’d suggest for crafting the perfect Christmas blend:
- Spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom add warmth and complexity.
- Chocolate: Rich chocolate notes are often added for a smooth, dessert-like quality.
- Citrus Zest: Orange zest or a hint of bergamot brings a refreshing brightness.
- Whipped cream adds indulgence to the holiday experience.
