Hot chocolate is the ultimate cold-weather drink. It keeps you warm on a freezing winter day, tastes even better when spiked, and even makes some killer no-churn ice cream. To celebrate the cocoa and all its chocolatey glory, someone somewhere decided to give it a national holiday. This Sunday, December 13 is National Hot Cocoa Day—and you can bet that we'll be indulging. Here are the best deals on delicious hot chocolate drinks that'll make you melt.

Perfect for the holidays, Au Bon Pain's peppermint hot chocolate is topped with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candy. The medium size hot chocolate is just $1.99. Also, when you sign up for their eClub you'll get a free travel mug and other exclusive offers.
