The home of amazing food and decadent desserts, such as the world-famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, Serendipity 3 restaurant has been captivating millions of patrons since its inception. It’s an enchanting place where artists and actors of both the past and the present come for inspiration.

It has been said that our sundaes make you feel like a child again. That’s been our aim since the beginning— and we’ve been transporting our customers back to their happy places ever since.

While we honored Sant Ambroeus with the Best Hot Chocolate Award (unofficial, but serious!), we can’t ignore its cooler sister: Serendipity 3’s Frozen Hot Chocolate (as modeled here by the beloved Rockettes). A veritable NYC icon, the frozen hot chocolate is served throughout the year, but we can’t really imagine a better time to drink its peppermint iteration than during the holidays.

Plus, Serendipity’s décor is beyond whimsical. The whole experience is just the definition of magic. (And if you’re not a peppermint person, fear not: There are peanut butter, salted caramel, and strawberry white chocolate versions too.)
