How to Make Snowman Soup
There’s not really much to this recipe which is why it’s such a great neighbor gift for the busy holiday season.

Combine 1/3 of the cinnamon vanilla hot cocoa mixture with 1 cup of hot water and stir to combine.

Toppings for Snowman Soup
We love to top a mug of this warm vanilla milk with whipped cream and a sprinkle of more cinnamon. A little hit of nutmeg never hurt anyone either! Other delicious toppings would be mini marshmallows, caramel, crushed up candy canes or white chocolate chips.
What to Serve with Snowman Soup
Assuming you all are like me and my family, a warm vanilla steamer goes best with some cookies. Some of our favorites are…
- Best Chewy Gingerbread Man Cookies
- Molasses Cookies
- Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
- Christmas m&m’s Cookies
How to Store Snowman Soup
The powder for hot vanilla milk should be stored in an airtight container in a dry place. It will keep for up to a month or two as everything is shelf stable.
If you have already combined the white hot cocoa mix with water, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Warm it back up in the microwave.
Spread some holiday cheer with this simple and festive snowman soup gift idea! This fun DIY project is perfect for giving to neighbors, coworkers, or friends during the Christmas season.
