00:00Hi, I'm Holly Alden, a food and drink writer for National World and today

00:03I'm going to be talking you through my ranking of the top five places for a hot chocolate during the snowy weather.

00:09In first place for me has to be Gregg's. I absolutely love Gregg's.

00:14I've been brought up eating and drinking Gregg's products and their hot chocolates are absolutely amazing.

00:20My favorite is the mint hot chocolate, which I actually have with me today.

00:24I went out and bought this as soon as I woke up as I knew it was a cold day

00:28and I wanted it to warm me up. My second place though is Costa Coffee.

00:32I absolutely love their hot chocolate offerings and my favorite is the brand new addition this year, the Terry's

00:38Chocolate Orange hot chocolate. If you haven't tried it already, you must go and give it a go.

00:43It is so delicious and really representative of the Terry's brand. In third place is

00:49McDonald's. Now, McDonald's do great hot drinks in their McCafe range and their standard hot chocolate is okay.

00:56It's pretty nice, but it's a limited edition hot drinks,

00:59especially the hot chocolates that really get my attention and they are gorgeous. Fourth place is

01:06Starbucks. Now, Starbucks does hot chocolate exceptionally well and they are really, really nice.

01:11The only reason it's kind of a little bit lower down my list is because when I go to Starbucks,

01:16I'm usually going to purchase a coffee rather than a hot chocolate.

01:20But if I'm ever in the mood for hot chocolate,

01:22then it is definitely a nice place to visit. And finally, last on my list is Cafe Nero.

01:27Now, although they may be last on my list, they are still in my top five as their hot chocolates are

01:33amazing just as much as the rest on the list. And you know what?

01:37They've actually released a first of range this year, which I'm yet to try, but it does look absolutely delicious.

01:42I think the reason it's last is because I'm just more likely to visit Greg's, McDonald's, Starbucks,

01:48Costa, more than I am a Cafe Nero. But when I do and when I do get one of their hot chocolates,

01:54I'm still really satisfied.
