Nothing beats a nice warm cup of hot chocolate topped with a healthy dollop of whipped cream and plenty of marshmallows on a cold winter’s night.
No matter how good a homemade cup of cocoa is, it is hard to replicate the magic of a store-bought festive hot chocolate.
With Christmas under two weeks away, Betway have compiled a list of the best places in the UK to indulge in a delicious winter warmer.
To determine the ranking, stores were measured using a unique index score generated by the number of hashtags each location has racked up on Instagram, as well as Google and Tripadvisor reviews.
The lower the overall index score, the higher the ranking – with hot chocolate spots across Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow placing highly within the top eight.
