Boyf surprised me with a little late Christmas present this morning.

A Mini Felted Hot Chocolate plushie

Inside the mug some felted wool in caramel, brown and white has been placed to approximate an abstract representation of some swirly Hot chocolate with marshmallows

I've made my expensive hot chocolate a fourth time. This time I used oat milk rather than almond milk, and I did it on the stove.

The end result is rich, no doubt about it. It tastes fine, but I don't think the price I have to pay for it justifies paying over what I pay for my piss-in-a-cup.

Swansea Christmas Market ranked one of UK’s cheapest festive hotspots

Credit card experts at Compare the Market crunched the numbers on accommodation, mulled wine, bratwurst and more across 24 markets nationwide. The result? Swansea came in second cheapest in Britain for 2025, beaten only by Southampton.

Bargain beer and budget beds

Visitors to Swansea’s Christmas Market can expect to pay an average of £110 a night for accommodation — cheaper than Cardiff (£180) and Birmingham (£165).

And when it comes to festive tipples, Swansea pours one of the cheapest pints in the UK at just £3.30, second only to Oban’s £3 pint. Mulled wine averages £5, hot chocolate £4.50, and a crepe £5.50.

The only sting in the tail? A bratwurst will set you back £8 — pricier than Southampton (£6) and Oban (£6).

National picture

Southampton topped the affordability list with £105 accommodation and £5 mulled wine, while Oban scooped the crown for cheapest pint.

At the other end of the scale, London’s Hyde Park Winter Wonderland was branded the UK’s priciest festive trip — with accommodation averaging £550 a night and mulled wine at £7.40 a glass.

Wales and Scotland shine

Both Wales and Scotland scored well in the top 10, with Swansea joined by Cardiff and Aberglasney, while Aberdeen and Glasgow flew the flag north of the border.

Charlie Evans, credit card expert at Compare the Market, said:

“Christmas markets should be about festive fun, not financial stress. Setting a clear spending limit before you arrive could help keep your budget on track and make it easier to avoid impulse purchases.”

Festive tips

Experts advise shoppers to:

  • Compare prices before committing — food and drink costs can vary stall to stall.
  • Track spending as you go — budgeting apps can help avoid nasty surprises.
  • Protect yourself when travelling — credit cards may offer purchase protection on bookings.

is good and I quite like the mix that makes. is good, and go together. Murchies also makes a mint version of their hot chocolate, which for the above reasons seems like it would obviously be good but somehow it just didn't work. It's the same hot chocolate, and the peppermint flavour seems quite nice, but it didn't come together the way mint and chocolate normally do.

How to turn a piss-in-a-cup into something glorious:

1. Take an edible.

2. Make your piss-in-a-cup.

3. Enjoy. Your senses should be such that your piss-in-a-cup has turned into top shelf stuff.

I'm going to make the experiment in a few.

I want to try making hot chocolate by melting down an ACTUAL CHOCOLATE BAR on the stove.

We've got some really nice quality 72% cacao chocolate bars (those work right? or do we need unsweetened?), and we have a cezve that's basically a tiny 180ml aluminum pot. Can I just toss a few chocolate squares in the pot and put it on the stove and wait for it to melt? I guess add milk slowly once it's melted? What should I know about hot chocolating?

(...Stirring might be difficult, because of how smol the cezve is. We have a normal pot but it's huge. A spoon should probably work, but I can't stuff a whisk in.)
