Creating A Hot Cocoa Bar

I am sure there are many ways to create a hot cocoa bar and many different things you can add to it. I wanted to keep mine simple. There aren’t a ton of us in my family so a small bar seemed appropriate for us.

I am sticking with the Grinch theme throughout my Christmas Day so I used some fun Grinch inspired decor on the bar. Check out my Grinch Gifts post to learn how to make your own. I also have a fun Grinch Word Search you can download and play. The Grinch theme has been a lot of fun this year.

I have included affiliate links for your convenience. You can ready my full disclosure here.

Materials I Used For My Hot Cocoa Ba

Glass Jars With Clasp Lids – I used three of them but if you add more “stuff” to your bar get more of these

Mugs for cocoa

All of the things for cocoa – Cocoa packets, candy canes, marshmallows, etc

Setting Up The Hot Cocoa Bar

Add your ingredients to the different jars. Candy canes in one, marshmallows in one with a spoon, etc
Add mugs/cups to your bar – I stacked 4 up but I have a couple more if needed
Add some sparkle or decor – Jazz it up a bit with some garland, ornaments, greenery or whatever you like. I used my Grinch decor.

That is really all there is to it! Then sit back and enjoy with friends and/or family!
