Winter can bring fun days spent outside enjoying cold weather activities. It can also bring many a snow day stuck at home. All these moments require one thing… hot chocolate. Hot chocolate has the power to not only warm you up physically, but emotionally too. Nothing makes you feel more special than a steaming cup overflowing with marshmallows!

I keep a hot chocolate bar set up all winter long. I style it so that it is attractive to have out all season.

I like to keep everything out where it can easily be self service. The kids are able to make their own cup before coming over to play a favorite board game like Clue.

This sign is printed on burlap. I loved the font, the colors and the message on it when I found it at Hobby Lobby.

Mixing in vintage pieces like this old chippy scale adds interest and height to the space making it more eye appealing.

Paper straws are something I pick up whenever I find them at Target Dollar Spot, the Dollar Store or TJMaxx. I love adding them to drinks for the kids or guests.

Vintage Campfire Marshmallow tins are one of my favorite items to keep my eye out for.

One of our favorite snow day activities is a long game of Monopoly!

One of the best ways to make a cup of hot chocolate feel special is to have things to add to it:

• paper straws
• mini marshamallows
• big marshmallows
• shapped marshmallows
• peppermint
• flavored marshmallows like Smash Mallows
• chocolate shavings
• a sprinkle of cinnamon
• whip cream

In this corner of the dining room I set up a hot chocolate bar with the Keurig. Hot Chocolate K cups make it very easy to make your own cup. I made a printable to add to the decor “Marshmallow Bar, Just Add Hot Chocolate” (see below to download your own FREE copy.)

These Smash Mallow marshmallows were a big hit at our house and the Java Chip were the unanimous favorite during a taste test.

For last year’s Hot Chocolate Bar I used a vintage camp blanket as a table cloth and many of the same fun pieces just styled in a different way.

What is your favorite way to enjoy Hot Chocolate?
