Utah loves its cozy non-alcoholic drinks and one of its most beloved is the ever-popular hot cocoa, especially around this time of year.  

Dec. 13 is National Cocoa Day and if you haven’t had some hot chocolate this year yet, it’s a good day to get some. According to the National Day Calendar, cocoa has a few benefits like being full of antioxidants, digestive benefits, and some positive effects on arterial health.  

Not a bad excuse to grab a cup of hot cocoa.
