I'm dreaming of a Costa Christmas!

Christmas has officially arrived at Costa Coffee with such a splendid selection of drinks and delicacies, all of which you must try before the year is out!

Costa Coffee's recent campaign 'Never A Dull Cup' aims to deliver a professional yet personal experience to its customers, by creating the perfect drink to satisfy customers, and this has definitely been incorporated into this year's Christmas range.

Despite the lack of the popular White Hot Chocolate from last Christmas, the globally renowned coffee chain has crafted some of the best drinks yet.

An array of flavours and toppings have taken to many customers' likings, and even more so as Costa Coffee have chosen many reduced sugar syrups to take that little extra care for their customers' consumption.

Returning to the Costa Christmas range is the Black Forest Hot Chocolate which is created with a dash of reduced sugar blackberry and cherry syrup, topped with freshly whipped cream, chocolate sauce and a real glazed cherry.

Another winning flavour from last year is the handcrafted Gingerbread Latte.

Also with reduced gingerbread syrup, this smooth and creamy drink is topped with freshly whipped cream, golden stars and a happy little Gingerbread Man.

New to the menu this year comes a luxurious lot, one being the Lindt Hot Chocolate which is a thick and creamy gulp of exclusive chocolate.

Another new drink is the Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate, which is topped with glittery mini marshmallows--what is not to love about this!

If these drinks don't tickle your taste buds yet, then why not delve into a slice of festive Shimmer cake--of which 10p goes towards the Costa Foundation when purchased!

The Costa Coffee website describes it as: "A delicious Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cake decorated with a festive shimmer."

Even when you think that this is enough, it really isn't as the Christmas range even extends to hot food.

This year's winter warmer is the Pigs in Blanket Panini, "a great British Christmas classic".

The Costa Coffee website describes this delicacy as: "British pork and onion sausage, with beechwood smoked bacon and a pork stuffing, with cranberry sauce and baby leaf spinach."

Christmas really has come early this year for coffee and chocolate lovers!
