snowman soup variation help needed

I've just finished making my son and nephews snowman soup for their xmas eve hamper and they look really sweet but my oldest nephew doesnt like hot chocolate or milkshake powder so I am stuck as to what drink I could put in the hamper for him.

I would like to put something like the snowman soup - that is something with a little poem attached so he doesnt feel left out.

all ideas welcomed

thanks

    if he just doesnt like the chocolatey taste you could swap the hot chocolate for ovaltine, but if its a case of he doesnt like milk based drinks, how about a mini bottle of coca cola with some marshmallows etc for a ice cream float and put in the poem to go to the freezer for a scoop of icecream, something like

    Heres a special fizzy drink
    to make a Christmas ice cream float
    just pop it in your favourite glass
    it'll really rock your boat

    Scoop some ice cream from the freezer
    and pop it on the top
    sprinkle over the marshmallows
    And enjoy every drop

    Thanks for the replies their brilliant - my nephew cant drink coke but I love that idea so may use it for another pressie.

    I'm going to put the marshmallows and choc drops in a bag and label them as snowman parts and then make a carton of juice into rudolf juice so thanks again for the brilliant ideas.

    I love making pressies :)
  • Does he like drinks like cappuccino or latte - it wouldn't hurt for him to have a sachet or two for a change/treat.
