Simple Hot Cocoa Beverage Station
I’m so excited to share my simple hot cocoa beverage station! I usually just plop a crock pot with hot cocoa in it on the counter, but since I’m doing the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, I have the chance to get a little fancy!
Let’s start with the most important area…the hot cocoa beverage station area! This isn’t just for hot cocoa, but for all our winter drinks! To the left, I left our coffee maker for the hubby and added a cute snowman jar next to it. But instead of filling the snowman jar with cookies, it’s filled with tea bags! Next, I placed the hot cocoa crock pot and a basket full of candy canes, hot cocoa stencils, and peppermint marshmallows. And finally at the end, a mug tree placed on an upside down metal bucket. Simple decorations with lots of room for everyone to move around and get their drinks.
On the shelf above the hot cocoa beverage station, I placed some holidays plates, cups, candles, and some fiberfill as fake snow.
The top shelf has boxwood topiaries, fiberfill snow, garland, and a paper ‘baby it’s cold’ banner that my youngest daughter created.
Last, I couldn’t have a hot cocoa beverage station without a trendy hand-lettered chalkboard sign. I created this one by piecing together several signs from around the web.
It was really fun setting up this simple hot cocoa beverage station and I hope you enjoyed the mini tour. If you want more hot cocoa bar inspiration, scroll down and visit the other hosts.

I think a cocoa bar is a great alternative to the traditional coffee bar. And it’s just perfect for this time of year. You did a great job putting it all together, Erlene!
Your hot chocolate sign is spot on perfect. Its exactly what I think of when I think of a hot chocolate sign. Love it and it sets off your hot chocolate bar very well. It all looks so good.
It may be cold outside but your cocoa bar makes it all worth it – so cute and so many pretty details.
This bar is adorable! I love the wrapped presents & ribbon on the wall. So cute!
