Winter imbibers are never at a loss in Philadelphia. And that notion is even sweeter when it comes to National Hot Chocolate Day. What’s the best way to celebrate? By raising a glass of course.
For those looking to participate and kick next week off right, here’s where to indulge in the holiday (Jan. 31) in the City of Brotherly Love.
Devil’s Den
The South Philly establishment is offering up their signature sipper, the spiked hot chocolate this Monday. The drink is composed of house-infused candy cane vodka, dark melting chocolate, cream, sugar and water— and the specialty sipper is enjoyed best by the wood-burning double-sided rustic fireplace located indoors.

Philadelphians can also amp up the flavor with an optional add-on of vanilla, cinnamon, simple syrup and so on.
