It's the chill in the air that rings in the Christmas season. It's that same chilly air that got me thinking that it's time for some hot beverages.
Having a beverage station sitting there, reminds me to stop and take a break. Ever since I set it up, Neil and I've enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate, tea or coffee every night.
It's so easy to put together. I already had all the supplies on hand. It was as easy as going to the pantry. I had lots of hot chocolate packets that I just emptied into a vintage glass jar and hung a spoon with it. The coffee and sugar were already in their everyday glass jars.
I needed jars for my creamer and chocolate chips. That was easy, I keep lots of jars on hand. But they needed a little cheer. Just spray the lid with spray adhesive and wrap with Christmas paper and trim with ric-rac.
Now for a little labeling. The big jars called for a little bigger label. So I used some small doilies and laced them with bakers twine. Perfect for my red & white Christmas theme.
For the other containers, I just punched 2" circles and added glitter to the edges. For the cinnamon stick jar, I covered the threads on the top of plain jar by gluing on a chenille stem.
I filled a planter with a selection of teas. And you have to have a snack, so a little tray of crackers and a jar of popcorn is just right.
And yes, my coffee maker is old school. Do you hear that #Keurig & #Tassimo? This reviewer is talking to y'all.

It's really nice to have a beverage bar set up during the holidays. It's self serve and so convenient when friends and family stop by.
Take a break and enjoy some cocoa y'all.
Hugs...
