Christmas Morning Hot Chocolate Bar!
Christmas Morning Hot Chocolate Bar!
Can you imagine waking up to a hot chocolate bar on Christmas morning!? I definitely go all out and try to harness that Christmas magic. Every year, I try to add something new and exciting. I’ve been doing these AMAZING cinnamon rolls every year which I think would pair wonderfully with hot chocolate! I found this hot chocolate machine at Home Goods this year and didn’t know what I was going to do with it. I just had to have it. It’s so cute! And then I found these adorable Santa mugs at World Market and they fit perfectly inside. Check out all my favorite entertaining finds of the season in this post!
My talented friend, Angie of Pink Apron Confections made these hot chocolate inspired cookies! I think this pairing would be so fun for a dessert bar after a cute Christmas party! “Cookies & Cocoa!”
I also found these “CHEER” marshmallow letters at World Market. Every year I find the most fun marshmallows there. Some years they have giant slabs of uncut marshmallow so you can cut your own shapes too! However, making your own marshmallows from scratch is super easy!
Time to snuggle up in my cozy knit sweater and watch a Christmas movie with my Santa mug! 🎅
