Welcome Back for a quick, SIMPLE Update to my Cocoa Bar! Look back to my Christmas Cocoa Bar if you want to see a full layout, but here I just made some quick changes to update for the Winter Season. I’ll let you browse through a few pictures…
By switching out my santa mugs with snowmen ones, adding a few glass snowmen canisters and salt/pepper sets, some snowflakes, snowballs and winter “angel” hair, my scene is transformed from Christmas to Winter.
If you are limited on space, try setting out a small tray /plate/cutting board to display a jar of cocoa or jars of marshmallows, crushed candies, etc. A small display can still portray a welcoming and cozy invitation for cocoa!
If you are home for several hours over a weekend or on a Winter Snow day, try out my CrockTober Crockpot Cocoa recipe found here:
