Have you ever tried hot Dr. Pepper? This retro drink is trending again, with fans calling it the perfect holiday treat. Originally introduced in the 1960s as a festive idea by Dr. Pepper itself, the recipe is simple: heat up a two-liter of Dr. Pepper in a crock pot, add a slice of lemon, and serve warm.

The result is a surprisingly cozy, sweet drink with a citrusy twist, reminiscent of mulled cider but with a fizzy kick. Whether you’re a nostalgic fan or curious to try something new, hot Dr. Pepper could be the quirky addition your holiday gatherings need. Give it a sip and decide if it’s worth the hype!
