How to Create a Hot Cocoa Bar

Creating a Hot Cocoa Bar is easier than you might think. You can do it at any time through the winter. This is such a fun thing for kids and it’s great for the indoor winter months. It’s also a great way to create memories with your kids that will last a lifetime.

I surprised my kids with this Hot Cocoa Bar one day after school. Let’s just say, they were very excited!

Here are some of my tips and tricks on how I did it.

I filled a thermos with hot cocoa so everything was ready to go. Having a thermos worked out great because the kids love being able to get their own cup of hot cocoa.

The hot cocoa cups, sign, and glass jars I found at Hobby Lobby. How cute are they?

Using things you already have on hand, is definitely the way to go. Most of the items I used I already owned, but I did share links of some of the items down below. I already had the red lantern and I knew it would look perfect on the table. I found it here.

I used a wooden crate and a cake stand to help display items like the toppings. I only used marshmallows and crushed peppermints for my bar, but the ideas are endless. I then used small wooden spoons for easy serving. You can usually find these at any craft store.

I used pinecones and garland to decorate the back of the table. Again, things I already had.

Host a Hot Cocoa Party

I had personalized ice skate shaped cookies for the kids because we were surprising them with a family ice skating the next day. This is one of our family traditions.

Of course, we needed cookies shaped like a cup of hot cocoa.

It’s also a fun idea to add flavoring syrup to the bar. Not that hot cocoa needs anything additional.

You could also host a hot cocoa bar holiday party for some friends or for some of your kid’s friends. Any excuse to drink hot cocoa, right?
