HOT COCOA & CANDY BAR | CHRISTMAS 2020 | Decorate With Me

[@InspiredLivingwithKristi]

This was so much fun to put together! I can’t believe I haven’t done a hot cocoa bar before! Do you usually do a hot cocoa or beverage bar for the holidays?

[@alisboattips3371]

I did one last year a tiny one, it’s going to bigger and better this year

[@InspiredLivingwithKristi]

@@alisboattips3371 Yay! I had so much fun doing this one last year and I’m planning this year’s now. I love how it brings some fun into our Christmas decor. Have fun decorating and creating your hot cocoa bar! ❤️🎄

[@MyHappyHome]

Kristi, you did an amazing job on your first cocoa bar. Everything look so pretty and festive😍I like how you placed the napkins. And the tiered stand is really beautiful and very elegant. You guys have the cutest mugs ever. Here we are not big on seasonal decor unfortunately. I especially love the joy and noel mugs🥰 I usually do a coffee bar set up, but don’t have much space so it’s usually quite simple. Tfs ❤️🎄💋

[@simplylovelybeawithdonnaco1564]

I absolutely LOVE this idea! I usually always do a hot cocoa bar for Christmas but I am definitely going to add a candy bar as well from now on! Thanks for sharing 🥰💖

[@jonirennirt2391]

Kristi, it turned out so fun, festive and looks yummy!!! I hope it brings a lot of fun for you and Whitney during the winter season. I think it's a great idea to change it up for January. You can turn your candle around then and show the snowman side. Blessings!

[@InspiredLivingwithKristi]

Hey Joni! Thank you so much! I wanted something fun and festive this year and this has really made me happy. That’s exactly what I was thinking about the candle!! Great minds! 😘 I think it will perfect for winter with the snowman and the tree showing. Tfw and have a wonderful evening! 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

[@InspiredLivingwithKristi]

Thanks, Jennifer! This was so much fun last year and now I can hardly wait to decorate this year’s! I’m planning a Santa theme for this one. ☺️🎅 Twinkle lights would definitely take this up a notch! I saw someone use regular lights along the backsplash and it was so pretty. I’m debating on which I want to use, but I’m definitely adding light this year! 💡Tfw and have a wonderful day! ❤️🎄

Thank you so much, Jesse! I’m glad you enjoyed this video! The snowmen marshmallows were part of a gift box from my husband’s boss. I don’t remember where it was from, but I think I mentioned it in the video. You might check Target, Williams Sonoma and Amazon. I know Target and Williams Sonoma usually have cute marshmallows and things like this. You could also make your own using food coloring. There are probably tutorials on KZbin. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day! ❤️🎄

[@InspiredLivingwithKristi]

Hi Jessie, I’m watching a DIY video from Whiskey and Whit. In it she makes some faux snowman marshmallows. I thought you might be interested if you are just wanting them for decor. The video is 10 Adorable Christmas Baking-Themed DIY Decor Ideas. The tutorial starts at 10:15. I also saw something similar to mine from last year at Target yesterday if you want edible marshmallows. I hope this helps you!
