Method

Base Preparation

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 2 cups of whole milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 8 ounces of chopped white chocolate. Stir continuously to prevent sticking until it begins to simmer and the chocolate is melted—about 5-7 minutes.
Carefully add a few drops of green food coloring. Stir well until the color is uniform. Keep on low heat for an additional minute.
Remove from heat and pour the hot chocolate into mugs, filling them about three-quarters full.
Top each mug with mini marshmallows and sprinkle red heart candies or festive sprinkles.
Serve immediately while warm.
