If you are having a holiday get-together this year, considering hosting a your own Hot Cocoa Bar!

Hosting a hot chocolate party not only sounds amazing, but it’s also a fun way to treat your guests to a fun and delicious experience while keeping your expenses down and the clean up simple! 

How to Build Your Own Hot Cocoa Bar

Your custom hot chocolate bar can be as simple or as fancy as your imagination. 

Set up your own Hot Chocolate Bar

Choose personalized hot chocolate packets for each guest or make your own hot chocolate mixture. You could display the hot chocolate packets in a pretty bowl or serve the hot chocolate mixture in beautiful apothecary or mason jars or even something like this Penny Candy Jar w/ Chrome Cover.

How to Make a Hot Chocolate Bar

The key to an awesome hot chocolate bar is making it look fun, so use you imagination and get creative.

Toppings and Accessories for Your Hot Cocoa Bar

A few fun items to consider including in your homemade hot cocoa bar: 

  • Wilton 6 Color Christmas Sprinkle Mix
  • Gingerbread Men
  • Popcorn (yes! popcorn)
  • Big and Small Marshmallows
  • Cinnamon Sticks
  • Candy Canes
  • Rock Candy On A Stick
  • Canned Whipped Cream Topping
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Cinnamon

And don’t forget fun accessories like 

  • Kikkerland Biodegradable Paper Straws, Red and White Striped, Box of 144
  • Cute Mugs (you could even have mugs are party favors and let your guests take them home

Hot Chocolate Bar

Include fun items like marshmallows on sticks (decorate them with Wilton frosting pens for an extra fun touch!) and leave out small bowls of sprinkles. 

I LOVE these marshmallow snowflakes and these cute snowman marshmallow faces from Williams Sonoma, but there are so many other fun toppings, many of which you might already have in your own pantry!

Or, you could make your own floating marshmallow treats with our easy floating Frozen Whipped Cream Hearts recipe.

And, if you are up for an even more exciting way to serve your hot chocolate, considering making our Homemade Stovetop Hot Chocolate recipe (you can also make it and serve it from the crockpot!) 

Just about anything can be on your party table and your guest will love adding all of these fun goodies to their mugs full of cocoa!

And, as I mentioned above – considering serving them in fun mugs. Everything tastes better in a great mug!
