Creating a Charming Simple Santa Hot Cocoa Bar in Four Simple Steps
What could be cozier than a festive hot cocoa bar - especially one that feels nostalgic, warm and charming? If you want to create a Santa-themed hot cocoa station that feels inviting without spending hours decorating, here are four quick steps to pull it all together!
STEP 1 - Add Greenery - Easy and Festive
Start by adding a touch of natural greenery with height like a small pine tree. Add some battery-pack lights to the tree to add a warm glow to your bar. No arranging skills needed!
Step 2 - Gather Candy Canes and a Festive Jar
Nothing says "Santa's snack station" quite like candy canes! Grab a handful and place them in a clear glass or decorative holiday jar. This adds more height, festive color and a classic holiday touch. Bonus - They double as both deor and tasty stir sticks for your guests' hot cocoa!
Step 3 - Bring in Something Vintage for Cozy Charm
A cocoa bar always feels more magical with a little nostalgia. Add one vintage element - an old Santa mug, a brass bell, a retro tin, or a well-worn wooden tray. Vintage pieces make the whole setup feel collected, warm, and just right for a holiday evening or Christmas morning with family and friends. These vintage winking Santa mugs are perfect for serving and adding that nostalgic touch!
Step 4 - Add a Festive Hand-Designed Tea Towel
To tie the whole festive hot cocoa bar together, place a festive holiday tea towel right beside the setup. It brings in color, pattern and personality and instantly elevates the look. I used my Vintage Winking Santa Mug tea towel which I hand-designed to bring a cheerful, classic Christmas feel to any kitchen!
