I set up four “Bars” for our Christmas Party, but I have to say this one made me the happiest. 

I set up a Christmas Cocoa and Coffee Bar in our Breakfast Room for our party guests to help themselves to cocoa and coffee, and it’s so fun to have around I plan on keeping it up through New Year’s Eve.  I didn’t spend a lot of money doing it.  The biggest goal was to make this bar self-sufficient so that my guests would have everything they needed at hand.  Here is how you can create your own Cocoa and Coffee Bar for Christmas, too. 

…………………………………………………………….

When I originally started planning our Christmas party, I knew from the beginning that I wanted to set up a Cocoa and Coffee Bar.  I have been to other parties, and it’s always nice to have a great cup of coffee after you have had a few cocktails.  The secret to hosting a great party, in my opinion, is convenience for guests.  The idea is everything they could need, for their comfort or pleasure, is right at hand.  It also presents less of a challenge for the Hostess as she can enjoy her guests and not be in the kitchen at all times.

I tried to think of as many elements as I could which would create not only a convenient Bar, but would check all of the “yummy” boxes, too.  To start, I laid out a pretty Sweater-design runner to add a splash of color and an instant “warm and cozy” feel.  Next, I created a framed “Baby It’s Cold Outside” Printable.  I am sharing this FREE Printable for you to download and use in your decor, as well.  (see below)

An inexpensive white IKEA frame was perfect against the chalkboard background design.  I already had two hot dispensers on hand, but will provide the affiliate link where you can get your own further below.  I used a dispenser for Hot Water for the Cocoa…

… and another dispenser for Coffee.

I didn’t have a third dispenser, so this one was used for Regular coffee, and I made another pot of Decaf and kept it in the coffee maker carafe.  Once I had the dispensers in place, I added mugs.

I love these red and white snowflake pattern mugs I found at Marshall’s.  I also used these on my Jolly Ole’ Santa Breakfast Room Tablescape.   Plain white mugs were added as backups. 

You can’t have a Cocoa Bar without Cocoa now can you?  Large, glass jars and chalkboard labels worked perfectly for holding my mixes.

To add some height to the Bar, I placed one of the Cocoa Jars on a small cake plate.  You could make your own Cocoa Mix, but honestly I used pre-made mixes.  Think EASY!  Don’t reinvent the wheel.  🙂

I had a standard Chocolate Cocoa Mix…

…and a Mint Chocolate Cocoa Mix.

I had lots of fun deciding on the yummy coffee and cocoa additives I would offer.  I purchased some cute bottles and glass containers.

These flip-top bottles were perfect for holding Creme and Liqueurs.  I offered Kahlua and Bailey’s.  I also added a cute bottle with a small wooden spoon filled with crushed peppermints…

You gotta have marshmallows!!!

Finally, I put out some cookies for dipping…

And that’s just how quick and easy setting up this bar was.

I added a small green jar to hold plastic spoons, a few candles and some greenery and pinecones.  Originally, I thought I would take down “Cleetus the Pig” who looks out over the Breakfast Room…

But, once I dressed his wreath with simple Christmas floral picks and silver pinecones, I thought he looked so cute I left him to act as the Host of the Cocoa and Coffee Bar.

Finally, I added a Nutcracker just for a pop of whimsy and color…

I am pretty sure my Guests enjoyed this Bar, but my Grandloves think it’s the best thing they have ever seen. They stayed here with me and Grandpa Sunday night and I let them fix their own Cocoa.  Let’s just say there were mugs of cocoa with LOTS of marshmallows.  Grammy got out the whipped cream as a topper.   

It sure made me happy to see them so happy.   Worth all the effort!!!  Mr. Nutcracker agrees.  😀

I hope you enjoyed my Cocoa and Coffee Bar for Christmas.  Thanks for letting me share it with you!         xxoo, Barb

    I love the cocoa and coffee bar. I have a tray on which I put the Keurig, a bowl of instant mixes, coffee and cocoa K-cups, and three mugs. I’m looking around the house for a Christmas Home for the tray. I’ll use some of your ideas on my tray area, including your yard clippings ideas. Thank you for the inspiration! ?
