Christmas Hot Cocoa Station

December 6, 2023

Hello friends—I can’t believe that it’s already the 6th! I have been slowing chipping away at the shopping list and I would say I’m about 75% of the way there which isn’t terrible.

Today I quickly wanted to share our new hot cocoa station that I set up this year.

I have been setting one of these up for years so that we can enjoy cups of cocoa throughout the season.

It makes our kitchen island feel super festive and is one of the boys’ favorite things about this time of year!

It’s been the same for the last few years, but when I spotted these cute stacking gingerbread mugs I decided to give the whole set up a new look!

I replaced our cocoa jar with this new one and I’m impressed at how much cocoa this thing can hold!

I used these little clear containers for toppings. I only had room to use 2 of the 3 pack set, but if you have more space chocolate chips would be perfect!

The tray, sign are all Hobby Lobby finds and the mini tree is from Target.

I absolutely love how it turned out and drinking from the cute mugs adds a whole new level of charm haha!

I always like to keep the station up through February, so I’m already on the hunt for some plain white or snowflake mugs and plain wood stir sticks.

Have a happy rest of the week everyone! I’ll be back next week with this years Christmas home tour.

    What a nice set-up. We used to do a cocoa station C’mas Day – made cocoa in the crock-pot. One like yours would serve us better now. What is your cocoa?
    Thanks,
    Sheila
