This year, we decided to up our Christmas movie night game by adding this amazing hot cocoa bar!! I’ve really been trying to soak in the moments at home with my family, so I thought, how much fun would it be to go all out and do a “create your own” hot cocoa night.
With how low maintenance it is, it really is such an amazing way to treat any guests or family you’ll be having over this Christmas without having to do too much. Once it’s all set up, you can just sit back and watch as your family enjoys their own personalized hot cocoa, while drinking your own cup of course!!
To set up, all you’ll need is:
- Christmas decor, such as a table runner, trees, etc.
- Two wooden planks to make the stand
- Glass canisters
- Wooden scoopers
- A chalkboard sign and individual labels
- A chalkboard marker
- Your favorite Christmas mugs
For decorating the bar, all I did was lay down a few table runners, used the wooden planks as shelves by simply placing them on top of different leveled drinking glasses, set up the necessary number of canisters, and made the labels with the chalkboard signs and marker. I then made the sign and sprinkled in a few extra pieces of decor from around the house, such as the plaid trees and popcorn garland.
Once the bar is all set up and ready, you can start making your hot cocoa. I used Swiss Miss with a little bit of Hershey’s Cocoa mix and just mixed those with some milk in a crockpot to heat it up. Next comes the best part: TOPPINGS!! While the hot cocoa is warming up, you then take all your toppings and simply put each in their own individual canister.
For our hot cocoa bar, I decided to go with:
- Smash Mallow Cookie Dough Marshmallows
- Mini Marshmallows
- Hershey’s Syrup
- Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips
- Ghirardelli Caramel Sauce
- Lindt Milk Chocolate Truffles
- Ghirardelli Classic White Chocolate Chips
- Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark
- Christmas M&Ms
All you have to do from there is grab your favorite Christmas mug, add your favorite toppings, and then just sit back and enjoy the evening with your family and your very own custom hot cocoa.
I truly enjoyed piecing together this hot cocoa bar and my family definitely enjoyed devouring all the goodies!! It made our Christmas movies night feel like a full-on Christmas party, but just for the five of us.
