- The Festive Mint Hot Cocoa recipe can be found inside a red chest near the wishing well in the middle of the event island, close to the archway that leads over to the fountain puzzle.
- The Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa recipe can be found in a red chest sitting near the carousel behind the candy cane fences and by the icy pond that has a polar bear statue right behind it.
How to make Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To make Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa, you need four unique ingredients:
- One Sugarcane – Can be grown from Sugarcane Seeds. You can buy these seeds from Goofy’s Stall in the Dazzle Beach biome for five Star Coins. If you have Wishblossom Ranch, you can also track down Goofy’s moving stall to buy these seeds.
- One Festive Cocoa Bean – Can be harvested from The Winter Floating Festival island near the red and white checkered picnic blanket. They spawn on the ground around it.
- One Blueberry – Can be picked from bushes around the valley. There are five bushes in total, three of which initially start off in the Forest of Valor biome and two of which originate in the Dazzle Beach region. You may have moved them elsewhere, though, and you can locate Blueberries under the Collection page to see where you put them if you forget. There’s also one special bush on the event island near the frozen pond.
- One Milk – Can be purchased from the pantry in Chez Remy or Tiana’s Palace for 230 Star Coins.

Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa can be made by combining four ingredients:
- One Sugarcane – Can be planted, grown, and harvested from Sugarcane Seeds. You can purchase this type of seed from Goofy’s Stall in the Dazzle Beach biome for five Star Coins. With the Wishblossom Ranch DLC installed, you can also visit Goofy’s caravan stall to buy them.
- One Festive Cocoa Bean – Can be harvested from The Winter Floating Festival island.
- One Cherry – Can be picked from six trees around the valley. Initially, four trees start off in the Frosted Heights biome, and the other two appear in the Sunlit Plateau region. They can be freely moved around, though, so you may have moved them elsewhere. If you aren’t sure where they’re at, check the Collection page to see where it lists Cherries spawning, as it updates to wherever you place them. There’s also a Cherry tree close to the river on the event island.
- One Milk – Can be purchased from the pantry in Chez Remy or Tiana’s Palace for 230 Star Coins.
