Snowmen & Snowflakes Christmas Hot Chocolate Bar

Two of the best thing about winter are warming up with a cup of hot cocoa and spending time with family and friends, so why not combine the two and host a hot chocolate party for your loved ones! If you have a big group I recommend making your hot chocolate in a Crock-Pot to keep it warm all night long and you could even have a BYOM (bring your own mug) or supply paper coffee cups if you find yourself short on drinkware.  I also love to use little Christmas teacups so guests can try different flavors throughout the night!

Our first stop at the hot cocoa bar features some adorable little hatted snowmen from Williams Sonoma.  Grab one and fill up!

I've chosen in other hot chocolate bars to include a "Flavor It" section where I include either International Delight coffee creamers (special shoutout to my personal fave, Irish Creme), but they have everything from Reese's to Almond Joy to hazelnut or Torani syrups in peppermint, vanilla, chestnut praline, and gingerbread.  Your guests are sure to love adding a little twist to their beverage!

Next we're onto my favorite stop--Top It!  Of course we have Christmas sprinkles, whipped cream, and marshmallows.  Other favorites include chocolate shavings, toasted coconut, butterscotch chips, and crushed candies like candy canes, butterfingers, and Andes mints.

And finally we've reached our last and most important stop, Enjoy It!  Throw in a cookie exchange, game night, or white elephant gift exchange and you've got the perfect evening!
