Did somebody say Crock Pot Peppermint Mocha Recipe?
Why yes… yes please! It’s that time of year again, and I’m SO excited about that fact! Bring on the Peppermint… and Candy Canes… and Christmas coffee bliss!
Just like the song says, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year! I absolutely love Christmas, and every year can hardly wait for all of the fun family traditions this season brings.
Some of our favorite activities around Christmas are driving around to look at Christmas lights, decorating cookies, decking the house out {inside and out} with Christmas decor, pulling out the board games, and indulging in those Starbucks Peppermint Mochas! Following are some of my favorite photos of our family Christmas traditions and ways we like to Make It Merrier… Every year we give the boys a new ornament, and write the year on the bottom of it. So… when they’re all grown up they’ll have a fun ornament collection of their own!
Visits with Santa were a must… though sometimes emotions ran wild. 🙂 Oh those brothers… one cries, while the other laughs!
Decorating gingerbread houses are an annual tradition here. Beware… you never know where our Elf, aka Melvin Ulysses, might pop up. He’s SO devious! 
Don’t forget the Christmas Cookies! We love decorating cookies as a family, even though the designs can get a little bizarre!
Don’t forget the coffee: the secret weapon that keeps us going this time of year. Oh, bring it on… here comes the Starbucks!!
Now I’ve got a little secret to tell you… I’m in love with coffee, and wildly in love with Peppermint Mochas. Oh it’s true! It all started when I was in high school, and I admitted to a friend of mine that I had never had coffee before. What?!? She was dumbfounded and after school that day we hopped in her car. She said she had somewhere important she wanted to take me. In no time I found myself holding what was called a Peppermint Mocha.
It was a cold winter day… and this moment changed my life. 🙂 Honestly, I didn’t want to try it… I assumed coffee didn’t taste good. That’s what I had been told all my life. I grew up in a non-coffee drinking family. {I can’t even fathom the concept anymore!} But it was a gift, and of course I didn’t want to be rude, so there I went… It was love at first sip, and it catapulted me into my now long-life-love {and yes maybe a little addiction} to coffee. I even spent a summer in college working for the Starbucks headquarters in Seattle! {now that was a delicious time in my life!}
Mmm… Now are you craving some coffee? I’ve got an delicious and super easy Crock Pot Peppermint Mocha Recipe for you! It’s the perfect drink to serve at holiday parties or on chilly winter days. Make it on a cold day, make it for Christmas, make it on a snow day, or why wait… make it today! You need it, you’ll LOVE it, and your friends and family will thank you! First things first… head on down to your grocery store to pick up some Starbucks French Roast Coffee! You can even Get a $5 Starbucks Card e-gift when you purchase 3 or more qualifying Starbucks products. I picked up my Starbucks Coffee here at Safeway…
Now… it’s time to make a Peppermint Mocha!!

Hello! Thank you for these awesome recipes! Quick question for you. For the peppermint mocha, you said to get Starbucks Peppermint Syrup. I’ve never seen them sold anywhere. Where can I find it? Thank you again!
Heidi says
Hi Rose ~ I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recipes! You can purchase the Starbucks Syrups at your local Starbucks store. Or, you could use Torani Peppermint Syrup instead. That can be found at World Market, or on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/2cIWmGE
Hope that helps! 😉

Your boys are so cute. I love the idea of making peppermint mocha in the crock pot for parties. That would make serving so much easier. Thanks for sharing! #client
