Need a fun {& easy} idea for your holiday party or wintery get together? Warm your guests up with a Gourmet Hot Cocoa Station where they can choose from yummy mix-ins like flavored marshmallows and spirits or liqueurs to create their own tasty drink.
We all know the little ones love hot chocolate, but I wanted to create something especially for the adults this time around, so this particular Hot Cocoa station (from our Sparkle & Shine Metallic Dinner Party) features gourmet peppermint, chocolate, and vanilla marshmallows and a pretty bottle of rum that guests can splash in to mix up a hot toddy! You can make your own flavored marshmallows – or just buy them to keep things easy – and get creative with the liquor mix-ins: brandy, coffee liqueur, raspberry liqueur, Peppermint Schnapps, etc. are all great options for flavoring hot chocolate.

Thank you for this! I used to host a cookie exchange every year but had to take the last 2 off & plan on getting it up & going again this year. You’ve just made adding a hot chocolate bar a must. So much fun! Thanks again.
Thanks so much for sharing! I am going to print them out and use with my family this weekend– bonfire and hot chocolate.
thank you so much for the awesome idea. I love the color scheme and the set-up!
