Style a Festive Hot Cocoa Stand!

December 19

Setting up a hot cocoa stand is something that I try to do as soon as the weather turns chilly!  But there’s something about Christmastime that makes serving up the toasty drink even more special and festive! Even though we’re in the northern part of the country, we still get a day or two in December where we can light up the fire pit and serve up treats outdoors! There’s something fun about bundling up and braving the chill with a hot cocoa in hand and good company around!  See how easy it can be to set up a simple treat to celebrate the season with family & friends!   Baby it’s cold outside…so serve up something chocolatey AND warm!

 heat it up with a hot cocoa celebration!

Hang a DIY holiday wreath on your door and showcase your personality!  It’s really easy to do…especially if you take a plain wreath from your garden center and spruce it up with extra greens and decorations you love!  If you saw the blog on Wednesday you’ll recognize that the two wreaths I’m sharing today coordinate with my tabletop decor!  By creating my own wreath, I could tie the decorations together with the ones on my table.  And fresh greenery at the entrance is such a special way to welcome guests for a Christmas celebration!  So let’s get right to it so you can create your own holiday joy in time for your festivities!

Serve a Christmas Breakfast!

December 6

We celebrate with several traditions during the holiday but one of my favorites is serving a Christmas breakfast!  It doesn’t have to happen on Christmas morning…in fact that could prove to be chaotic!  But during the month of December I’ll often set up a cheerful buffet of easy & delicious serve-yourself goodies…and it’s especially fun to do when there’s visiting kids in the house!  This year’s fun was inspired by my passion for plaid…and a twist on a familiar reindeer!  I’m excited to share these ideas in collaboration with some talented friends so you can help your peeps wake up to a GOOD MORNING!
