Christmas Movie Review: Hot Chocolate Holiday

October 30, 2025 by Eva Marie Everson

Hot chocolate. A bakery. A cafe. A budding romance. A Christmas market. Holiday decor. Holiday fashion. Globs of snow . . .

I mean, seriously. Everything . . . EVERYTHING. . . about Christmas is in Hot Chocolate Holiday.

The acting is somewhat stilted, but I couldn’t stop watching it, nonetheless.

So, here’s the story: Collette runs a coffee shop that specializes in hot chocolate. The secret recipe was passed down to her by her grandmother, and she guards it carefully. Then Marcus moves his dessert shop next door to Collette’s cafe, his hot chocolate throws a monkey wrench in the holiday festivities. Mainly, his recipe is exactly like her grandmother’s. How could that be?

Well, there is a logical answer to that question . . . some twists and turns along the way. Again, not the best holiday movie I’ve ever watched but fun and entertaining for sure. I suggest having a cup of delicious hot chocolate topped by a mound of whipped cream and a candy cane stirrer at the ready.

Bookstore: That may be the one shop not featured in this movie.

Hot chocolate/cocoa: By the gallons . . .

Bakery: Yes! And you will also want Christmas cookies to go with the hot chocolate while you’re watching.

Cute kid or pet: Kinda of . . . but I cannot tell you who because that will give away a plotpoint.

Ornament Rating: 3 out of five shiny red ornaments!

I watched Hot Chocolate Holiday on HuLu.

    I love the ornament rating system.
    I’m not quite ready to watch the Christmas movies.
    Will you please do a top 25 or 10 after Thanksgiving? Just as a reminder….
