Each winter for the last several years we have hosted a small hot cocoa party. This year we decided to host a slightly larger Winter Hot Cocoa Party for our friends and family.

Winter Hot Cocoa Bar

Since our weather is has been rainy and gross, I set up our Hot Chocolate Bar in the house next to the fire place. We pulled our DIY Lemonade Stand into the house, and I got to work setting it up!

I wanted our party to have more of a winter feel than a Christmas feel, so I decorated the stand with red, black, and white plaids.

I draped a plaid blanket over half of the Hot Cocoa Stand. Then, I added a plaid rug in front of the stand, and winter trees around it. Now, I was ready to add decor, food, and the cocoa and mixers to the table.

I added a large birch log riser to one corner of the table, and an oversized wooden Connect Four to the other side. I placed my favorite Jackson Morgan Southern Cream flavors, Peppermint Mocha and Salted Caramel, to the riser with a fun plaid tree behind them. Then, I put a large metal lantern and a rustic winter tree on the table between them. Finally, I added a few more winter trees and a rustic candle to the table.

Hot Cocoa Bar Toppings

Once the Hot Chocolate Bar was decorated, it was time to add the toppings, mix-ins, and snacks to the table!

I filled small metal buckets with chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and peppermint candy canes. Simple hot cocoa gets a gourmet upgrade with chocolate chips, candy canes, and a splash of Jackson Morgan Southern Cream added!

More metal buckets were filled with sugar cookies and candied pecans.

Finally, I added the very best boozy brownies and boozy whipped cream to the table and we were ready for guests!
