I love making Christmas cupcakes and aren’t these Hot Chocolate Cupcakes so cute? I’m sure you are a lot like me and enjoy holiday treats. Christmas is my all time favorite holiday to make cute holiday party treats and of course bake Christmas cookies for Santa!

I’ve been dying to show you these adorable Hot Chocolate Cupcakes that I made for Oriental Trading’s blog. At the first glance, your guests will probably think these treats are hot cocoa, but they are really delicious chocolate cakes topped with the best peppermint frosting!

The Santa paper cups are what make them so adorable! Be sure to click here for all of the info about the cupcakes and cups.

I love making fun Christmas party treats and these adorable Christmas cupcakes would be perfect for any holiday party or school party. Change the cup and you can make them for any kind of themed party you want!

This simple cupcake recipe calls for homemade ingredients, but if you didn’t want to bake from scratch, you could get store bought cupcakes and then just make the frosting.

The homemade peppermint frosting is very quick and super delicious! Made with cream cheese and crushed candy canes, it’s a creamy, crunchy delight. I definitely licked the bowl after making this cupcake frosting.
