Fans were clearly delighted when Costa announced the news. One person on Twitter said ‘Best news ever!’, whilst another said ‘Christmas has come early!’.
Another Twitter user suggested a punishment for the person who decided to take it off the menu, saying ‘About time! Who ever thought of taking it off the Christmas menu should get a lump of coal!’
A spokesperson from Costa said “The rumours are true! We heard the nation’s cry for its return and as a special Christmas gift we have brought back the much loved Black forest Hot Chocolate. However, you need to be quick as it is only available for a limited time and while stocks last.”
