New This Year~My Hot Cocoa Bar

Well, I finally got it together this year and set up a "HOT COCOA BAR" in my kitchen. For the past two years, I have wanted to do this, but just never got around to it. So, it looks like 2014 is the year to finally have this fun festive bar at Coastal Charm. A few days before I started all my holiday decorating, I came across this bar cart that I had painted gold a few months ago. My plans for this vintage cart was to sell it at the shop, but it looks like it won't be leaving here anytime soon. It fits perfect in this spot, so I think it has found it's new home. Now, let's see what my hot cocoa bar looks like for the holidays.
                                                                Blessings,
                                                                    Linda

                                                     Pull some vintage items together
                                                     then add some hot cocoa and
                                                     look...you have yourself a fun
                                                           "HOT COCOA BAR".
                                   
             


                                                 Bright festive colors are perfect
                                                         for the holiday season.

                                          This cute little fella, was the perfect touch
                                           to welcome all our friends and family to
                                                                      the bar.

                                            Everything you need for a yummy
                                            cup of hot cocoa is here waiting for
                                                                      you!
         
               

                                                    Goodies can be found to add
                                                            to your cup of cocoa.

A vintage Santa mug is a must for
this vintage lovin' gal.
 
                                  As you see here, I don't make up a cocoa mix,
                                  I rather have individual packs of several different
                                                                  flavors.

                                             Peppermint is one of my favorites.
                                             You can find it and other wonderful
                                                    flavors at your local Target.
                                     
                                                     My vintage silver tinsel tree
                                                     was the perfect size, so I knew
                                                     this is where I wanted it to go.
                                    



                                                               I never have a cup
                                                               without adding these.
                                                        
                                                 A vintage milk bottle and
                                               mason jar always add charm.

 
 
                                                Thank you for coming by and
                                                 taking a look at my new bar.

Lovin it Linda! That cart is perfect for the job. And I can't do hot chocolate without marshmallows, either:) We just went to the Kriskindlemarket here in Chicago, it's a well known German Christmas festival/bazaar that takes place every year. My daughter and I got hot chocolate with whipped cream and it was the best I'd ever had! Have a blessed Christmas!

You know I love those napkins! Such a cute set up!

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

I LOVE this, Linda! Such a great idea and one I've wanted to do, too. I have a great metal stand that I have stored in the attic right now. It would be perfect for this, except I have no room! : (

I just bought some cute red and white straws, too. I have to figure out a way to do a coco bar somewhere in my kitchen because I have everything I need to do one.

it doesn't get any better than a hot cocoa bar for Christmas time. I love the long legged guy hanging on the shutter- very cute and tasty post. Now, I need to go find some of that salted caramel chocolate! Yum.

Love this -- it's been on my "list" of things I want to do for several years as well. I love the cart and the idea of using all of the vintage things - the mugs remind me of ones we had growing up.

Very "sweet" Linda!!

I'm doing this, now that my grands are here; a cocoa bar is the best. I remember we had in the late 50's a tree like that. My mom loved it and that is back in Astoria-Queens, NY.
Merry C'mas.

I'll be right over! What a fun spot you've created, I can see why you didn't want to bring that cart to the shop. Love the old jars and the sweet Santa mug too. Thanks Linda for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.

It's a great look. I would like to set one up after Christmas at my house. I always need something to perk things up after Christmas.

Please drop by!
Happy Christmas!

Love your bar. The tinsel trtee and santa mugs looks fab. I did one last year but I just had a big basket on my worktop filled with goodies. It was very popular.
