- Whip the Topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of dry hot chocolate mix with 5 tablespoons of heavy cream until the mixture becomes stiff and creamy, forming a rich whipped topping.
- Heat the Milk: Gently warm 3 cups of chocolate milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until it reaches a comfortable sipping temperature, taking care not to boil.
- Pour Milk into Glasses: Divide the warm chocolate milk evenly between two glasses, preparing the base for your whipped hot chocolate.

Notes
- Use a chilled bowl and whisk for best results when whipping the cream.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of dry hot chocolate mix used in the whipped topping.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free chocolate milk alternatives.
- Garnishes like peppermint sticks or cinnamon can add a festive flair.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate milk to prevent a burnt taste.
