Hi Friends! It snowed last night, so I'm definitely ready for hot cocoa season! I recently shared this fun little hot cocoa bar over on the Doodlebug Blog (here) and wanted to share it with all of you in case you missed it over there! I always enjoy hot cocoa in the wintertime, especially around the holidays, and when I have fun little add-ins, it's even better!!
I have a little buffet table in my kitchen, and for the next little while, it's going to be a hot cocoa station! I used papers and embellishments from the "Milk & Cookies" collection to make it cute and fun!
I made these little cup wraps by cutting 1 1/2" strips of patterned paper and wrapping them around simple styrofoam cups. Where they cross in the middle, I punched a ladybug red cardstock circle and added a Christmas tree cute clip! It was easy to put these together - and as a bonus, we won't get our cups mixed up!
In the background here, you can see that I framed the cute Santa Scene - because it's so super cute and I just had to display it this holiday season!
Of course, you can't have hot chocolate without a spoon to stir it with - so I embellished a simple mason jar and some fun wooden spoons with doodle tape! Quick and easy and so much fun!
And the hot chocolate...we love the individual packets around here - no need to measure! (Except for that jar of striped goodness in the top right corner of the photo below - that's my very special, very favorite Hazelnut flavor cocoa!!) Of course, the best part is all of the extra sweetness that can be mixed in!
I made these cute little candy bowls with a silhouette cut file and various patterned papers from the "Milk & Cookies" collection! Then I filled them up with all of my favorite festive and "meltable" candies!
I'm fairly certain there's a law against NOT putting a candy cane in your hot cocoa in December. Wouldn't want to break any laws, right?!?
I cut out these letters with my Silhouette and hung them on Chunky Twine before hanging them to the wall behind the sweet goodness!
And if one banner is good...two is even better, so I made a cute little scallop banner to attach to the front of the tabletop! I used my sewing machine to quickly stitch them all together!
Are you craving some hot chocolatey goodness yet??
Go ahead, put together your own little hot cocoa party bar - everyone will thank you!!
If you love this collection, hurry and snatch it up while it's on sale!
