My absolute favorite area of my entire house to decorate is my coffee bar. Today, I am going to show you my Christmas hot coca bar (for some reason, I prefer to call it that instead of coffee bar during this time of year!)…and I think you will love how fun it all came together!
It is truly amazing how each year, it looks completely different! I never try to keep it the same, but I do always have the same items- plus some new, of course…and I just use them in different ways and different places throughout my home. It keeps things fresh for me.
So, let’s get to the hot cocoa bar! I am going to show lots of photos! Feel free to ask if there is a specific item you are in love with and want to know where it came from!
Below, my gold tiered tray is from TJ Maxx! They have so many things like this to choose from!
Is this not the cutest little gingerbread man mug? I actually ordered this and the nutcracker mug you will see from a Christmas store in Australia! Shipping is high…but I LOVED THESE and had not seen them anywhere else! The name of the shop is The Christmas Market!
The little peppermint stirrers are from Home Goods! They are so festive and fun! And Eden (my daughter) LOVES them. She is a huge peppermint fan.
Entire hot cocoa bar! IN LOVE. Yes, that is real brick…it is the entry way into the living room. You can see all details HERE!
This is the nutcracker I was talking about! And don’t you love those little candy cane picks from Hobby Lobby that are just stuck in the little bowl?! I also love adding height by using wood slices!
The Santa mug is a big time fave of mine! I got it from my friend’s boutique after Christmas one year on clearance!
The MERRY that looks like scrabble tiles is from Walmart! It came in a little set!
This big gingerbread house stole my heart from Cracker Barrel!
Rae Dunn Christmas plate from a friend selling on Facebook!
And one last look at the whole thing!

Wishing I had the room for a hot chocolate bar. Definitely will make a mini hot chocolate area. Great ideas to get aspiration.

We have used an end table and pulled it over to the kitchen when there wasn’t enough kitchen space. You can also use a small folding table. Be creative. People don’t even notice and will be in love with your ideas. We have also used our stove as serving space if we are done cooking. Any reason to get together!

Brooke, I love ❤️ your Hot Cocoa Bar. So awesome. I wish I had the space to do that. I have very.limited counter space and what I do have I use for a coffee setup! We use that much more. You give everyone so many great ideas. Keep shooting out all the ideas. And we will keep watching and using them.

Omg that looks so beautiful!!! I wish I could do that at my house! I love all the red white striped stuff you put on the shelfs. I do the candy cane stripes at my house. I bought a new gold tree so Im going to use red on it. This is making me want to put up my tree!
