I am having our neighborhood Christmas Party at my house this year, and I am thrilled because I love having people over plus it makes me clean my house really well. I like to say my house is Christmas Party clean. That’s almost as clean as Bunko Night clean!
I really want to do a hot chocolate and coffee bar. My kids and I love hot chocolate, and we are always adding whatever we find in our pantry to it. When I was shopping at the grocery store this week, I saw Tootsie Roll Hot Chocolate and Junior Mint Hot Chocolate, and I was tempted to buy it but I had already purchased the toppings for the hot chocolate.
Keurig is perfect for a Hot Chocolate and Coffee bar. It will be easy on me to have everyone make their own cup. I purchased several types of coffee, hot chocolate, and cappuccino.
I purchased M&Ms, marshmallows, peppermint, butterscotch and chocolate chips.
I found these cute chalkboard stocking tags and thought that it would look great to label my toppings. I wrote on the labels with a white paint pen.
I had purchased a plastic wood thing at the Thrift Store and knew I would use it somewhere for something one day. I really wish I had a before picture, but I must have erased it. I painted it with chalkboard paint and painted the outside with white acrylic paint. My handwriting on the sign is not perfect but it works.
Here is a picture of my bar cart before I painted it. I will do a post with instructions, and it will be on the blog next week.
This is how I set up my Hot Chocolate and Coffee Bar. I can’t wait for all the neighbors to be able to enjoy it!
Thanks so much for coming by my Blog. Loved doing the Gift Guide– gives me a chance to feature some of the cool shops and websites I visit. I absolutely love how your bar cart came out, and the chalkboard sign above is so cool. Great party presentation.
nothing better than a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows on a chilly day! How fun is this hot chocolate bar – perfect for a party!
Wow how creative! I love this idea- I’ve always wanted my own personal tea cart lol, but I love the thought of coffee and hot chocolate. Found you on Pin-worthy Wednesdays! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Robyn! That is so nice to hear!
Wow, this looks amazing – I can’t get over the before and after pictures of the trolley. I’d love to be so creative and see the hidden beauty in items that have seen better days. The whole set up is gorgeous, I’d be so thrilled if I went to someone’s house and they’d prepared this for me. #WAYWOW
I am so glad you linked up this post to WAYWOW! I am having ladies over next week and was wondering how to do this type of thing and, shazam, there YOU are! Thank you for the ideas and yours looks beautiful!

Coffee/cocoa bars are so inviting. I love what you did with the dessert cart.

Sherry, this is adorable and the gold looks so good with the other accents in your home, I love that the station makes it easy for the kids to get their own, and the big kids! LOL So no one is under your feet while you’re trying to prepare dinner, etc. And there are so many flavors and toppings that look so delish! You are the best hostess and I’m sure that your friends enjoy hanging out with you!
Nikki, Thanks for commenting and saying such kind things. I really appreciate it. Have a Merry Christmas!
