By Amy Romback, Publisher and Editor of Macaroni Kid East Lansing-Okemos-Haslett December 10, 2020

December 13th is National Cocoa Day. Now that's something to celebrate!  A steamy cup of hot cocoa is the perfect way to warm up after being outside in the cold. I think my kids go outside in the winter specifically so they get hot chocolate when they come in šŸ˜‰ 

If you're looking for a place in Greater Lansing to grab a cup of hot chocolate you don't have to go very far. We have plenty of options! Here are our favorite places to grab a cup!
