The Winter Floating Festival in Disney Dreamlight Valley introduces three special Festive Hot Cocoa recipes to warm up your seasonal adventures. These limited-time drinks, Festive Mint, Festive Cherry, and Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa, are not only delightful treats but also key items for solving event puzzles. Once you unlock them, they become a permanent part of your in-game recipe collection.
Finding the recipes is your first step. Each one is hidden inside a distinct red chest scattered around the festival grounds. The Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa recipe waits in a chest by a table in the main square, near the entrance. For the Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa recipe, seek out the chest beside the small pond next to the carousel. Finally, the Festive Mint Hot Cocoa recipe is located in a chest by the building near the fast travel well. Opening these chests grants you the 4-star dessert recipes.
Every festive cocoa variation shares a common base. You will always need one Festive Cocoa Bean, one Milk, and one Sugarcane. The final ingredient defines the flavor: a Blueberry, a Cherry, or a Mint. It is crucial to note that standard Cocoa Beans will not work for these special drinks.
Festive Cocoa Beans are exclusive to the festival and can be found by the picnic blanket on its outskirts. For the other ingredients, you have options. Blueberries grow on a bush near the festival’s fast-travel well, or you can pick them in the Forest of Valor and Dazzle Beach. Cherries are on a tree by the festival’s wooden bridge, or on trees in the Sunlit Plateau and Frosted Heights. Mint can be foraged from the ground next to the companion house at the event, or found in the Frosted Heights. Milk is purchased from Remy’s Chez Remy restaurant for 230 Star Coins, and Sugarcane is found by the pond near the carousel at the festival or bought from Goofy’s stall on Dazzle Beach.
To craft Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa, combine one Blueberry, one Festive Cocoa Bean, one Milk, and one Sugarcane. For Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa, use one Cherry, one Festive Cocoa Bean, one Milk, and one Sugarcane. Festive Mint Hot Cocoa requires one Mint, one Festive Cocoa Bean, one Milk, and one Sugarcane.
Once your ingredients are gathered, head to any cooking station. Add your selected components to the pot along with one piece of coal to ignite the cooking process and brew your perfect cup of holiday cheer.
