Hot chocolate at Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo: the Christmas classic

The winters of old in Mallorca were known for being colder, and although we now welcome them with milder temperatures, the streets still have that special charm of cool afternoons and evenings. That’s why there’s no better way to fight it than with a cup of our hot chocolate. It has become a true tradition, deeply rooted in our culture for years, but it intensifies especially during Christmas, when friends and families gather to celebrate.

Many Palma residents experience it as an ancestral ritual. The older generations recall how, after attending the Midnight Mass (misa del gallo), they would gather at home with family and friends to enjoy a hot chocolate, or they would come to our shop, located at that time on Carnisseria street, to enjoy a warm cup. It was a magical moment, where people savored the taste of chocolate while sharing time with those closest to them.
