Festive hot chocolates are one of the delights of the season.

And many were left disappointed when Costa Coffee left the popular Black Forest Hot Chocolate off its seasonal menu with some jokingly claiming that Christmas is cancelled!.

But after many took to social media to air their disbelief the festive favourite had not returned in November, Costa performed a u-turn and brought the flavoured hot chocolate back - for a limited time only.

And the coffee chain announced the move in an hilarious Tik Tok video inspired by the iconic scene in Love Actually in which Andrew Lincoln professes his love to Keira Knightly.

Holding up cards, a supposedly Costa Coffee employee states: "With any luck by next year we will be forgiven for removing Black Forest Hot Chocolate. But for now let us say we've listened to your feedback and because it is Christmas.

"At Christmas we grant wishes, Black Forest Hot Chocolate is returning - for a limited time only."

The return has gone down a treat with customers, with one stating: "Black Forest should never be left out over Christmas! Thank you."

And another said: "I only found out it had returned this weekend, I'm so pleased it is back.

"I have had one pretty much most days while out Christmas shopping."
