On December 18th, Mischa gathered us all together for our Christmas party in Würzburg. It was the moment the two worlds could finally meet in full 3D (or perhaps 7D?): the Cocoa Manufactory & the Online Team.     

Many of us hadn't met in person before, or only knew each other as small boxes on a Zoom screen. Isn't that exciting? We certainly thought so; we feasted and laughed so much that our cheeks were hurting by the end, and the other restaurant guests probably thought we were a bunch of drunks. In reality, it was just iced tea and a whole lot of heart 🤭

Before the wild festivities—I hadn't even told you this part yet—the Online Team visited the new Cocoa Manufactory, a first for all of us. Not only did Mischa give us a tour, but we also got to pour and package the cocoa ourselves. The joy was immense, as you can probably imagine. Seeing our own names on the cocoa packaging? For us, it was like a little Christmas dream come true, ho ho ho.

Thank you, thank you, thank you
