Hanukkah brings eight nights of light, reflection, and time with the people who matter most.

National Hot Cocoa Day is your chance to explore simpler versions made with basic cocoa powder and to carefully read labels. Ask your care team to help you choose a brand or recipe that fits your needs so you can enjoy hot cocoa with confidence this season.
