About this listen
National Cocoa Day on December 13 celebrates the warm comfort of hot cocoa, a drink whose roots stretch back thousands of years to the Olmecs and Mayans, who first cultivated cacao—the “food of the gods.” From Columbus introducing cocoa beans to Europe, to Spanish physicians praising its health benefits, to early American chocolate makers like John Hanan and Dr. James Baker refining it in the colonies, hot chocolate has long been a treasured treat. Today we enjoy it in countless varieties, topped with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate curls, yet its greatest sweetness may be how it brings people together. As we gather with loved ones and savor a warm cup, we’re reminded that God places us in families to learn joy, patience, and love—inviting us to strengthen our homes and relationships as part of His Story today.
