The giveaway is now closed. Find the official rules here.

The Mayans were onto something when they created the world's first chocolate beverage. What started as a bitter and spicy drink, made from ground cocoa seeds, has transformed over the years into a warm and sweet indulgence enjoyed worldwide. However you enjoy it—thick or thin, plain or spiced and topped with marshmallows or served alongside churros—there really is no wrong way to drink this delicious concoction.

Inspired by our favorite winter drink, we found five things we love for the perfect hot chocolate. From old-fashioned, artisan marshmallows to vintage-inspired mugs, these five finds make the perfect little escape during long winter days.

Check out the slideshow above to discover our five favorite things for making and serving hot chocolate.
