Style a Festive Hot Cocoa Stand!

Setting up a hot cocoa stand is something that I try to do as soon as the weather turns chilly!  But there’s something about Christmastime that makes serving up the toasty drink even more special and festive! Even though we’re in the northern part of the country, we still get a day or two in December where we can light up the fire pit and serve up treats outdoors! There’s something fun about bundling up and braving the chill with a hot cocoa in hand and good company around!  See how easy it can be to set up a simple treat to celebrate the season with family & friends!   Baby it’s cold outside…so serve up something chocolatey AND warm!

 heat it up with a hot cocoa celebration!

i’m a sucker for a hot cocoa stand…and it’s so fun to dress one up for the season!

i absolutely love the printables by Bella Grey Designs!  so easy to print right from your computer, cut, and make a simple cup look grand with this darling wrap!

i wanted to use this vintage frame to hold the sign but it was too big.  rather than buying a mat board, i just covered cardboard in wrapping paper and attached the print to the top!

another fun way to use wrapping paper…i covered my generic pump pot with a favorite pattern, and for pennies!

i filled bake cups with marshmallows to top the toasty drink…

holiday picks hold a stack of chocolate-mint mallows…

and since it IS chilly outside…i included a snowflake too!

you can’t have a hot cocoa stand without a treat or two…

since popcorn seems to be popular with all ages i added some varieties in salty AND sweet!  simple tags from my computer let guests know what they’re getting!

and who doesn’t love an old-fashioned popcorn ball?

cute clips hold the simple labels on the cups…

and on the bowls…

those sweet little clips mimic the crate underneath, and a wood message is hung with fish line to easily decorate my rustic cart!

i merely spray painted the snow-covered pine cones in the wreath & on the table!  a little glue and craft crystals make them look frosty…and i think they’re a fun addition to the green-inspired color scheme!

now for the fun part…

baby it’s cold outside, but with cocoa in hand…

hearts & tummies are warm!
