I rounded up 8 ridiculously good slow cooker drinks that are basically the holidays in a mug. Whether you’re craving something fruity and tangy or ultra rich and chocolatey, these nonalcoholic warmers are just right for serving a crowd or treating yourself to a quiet moment on a frosty day.
1. Slow Cooker Peppermint Hot Chocolate
When that rich, chocolatey craving hits, this slow cooker peppermint hot chocolate absolutely needs a spot on your holiday list. It’s incredibly cozy and made for anyone who adores peppermint cocoa.
I love that it only takes 5 minutes to prep, and yes, it’s wonderfully indulgent because holiday rules apply. It comes out ultra creamy and looks so decadent.
2. Spiced White Hot Chocolate
If white chocolate is more your style, this spiced white hot chocolate is about to become your new favorite. It’s thick, wonderfully festive, and it warms you straight through. With real vanilla beans, cinnamon, and cardamom in the mix, I’m officially craving a mug right this minute.
3. Fall Harvest Hot Apple Cider
Despite the name, this “fall harvest” cider is absolutely welcome at my holiday table all winter long. It’s a true celebration of fruit, loaded with persimmons, pomegranates, oranges, pears, and apples.
If you’re all about super fruity warm drinks, this one is a showstopper for guests. Pop a cinnamon stick into each mug and you are good to go.
4. Slow Cooker Apple Cider
Sometimes you just want a classic hot apple cider that still feels special, and this one delivers all the cozy vibes. It’s simple, warm, and ridiculously good.
It’s packed with spices, a little brown sugar sweetness, and a pop of citrus. It’s exactly what I want to sip on the first day of December.
5. Nutella Hot Chocolate
Okay, this one isn’t technically a slow cooker recipe, but I had to include it because Nutella is just too good. This drink does it complete justice.
Honestly, just look at how insanely delicious it is. If you’re craving a CrockPot version, I’ve got a slow cooker Nutella hot chocolate recipe you can try instead.
6. Slow Cooker Mexican Hot Chocolate
If Mexican hot chocolate is your thing, I can’t recommend this slow cooker version enough. It’s smooth, with cinnamon and deep chocolatey goodness.
I truly believe it will make you so happy. For anyone who loves spiced, ultra rich, and creamy sippers, this is a holiday must make.
7. Cranberry Apple Cider
Apple cider and cranberries are two of my favorite cold weather flavors, so this hot Christmas sipper is absolutely on my must make list. It takes just 5 minutes to get everything into the slow cooker.
That makes it a total win for big holiday gatherings. If you’re dreaming of something citrusy, cinnamony, and sweet, this spiced drink is calling your name.
8. Another Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Cider Recipe
Yes, I already shared a cranberry apple cider, but I couldn’t skip this gorgeous ruby version. It’s such a stunning drink to serve at holiday gatherings. I have no doubt it tastes every bit as amazing as it looks.
