During the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it can be hard to get together with all the family and friends that we would like to see. That's why our family has started a new tradition: a New Year's Open House. And because my birthday is on New Year's Eve it's the perfect excuse to invite everyone over and keep the holiday spirit going.
Since it's often bitterly cold around New Year's, one of my favorite things to do for our Open House is create a cozy hot cocoa and coffee bar for my guests. It's super easy to do when you shop at Food Lion and grab my free printable Coffee and Cocoa labels.
How to Make a Cocoa & Coffee Bar at Home
Making your cocoa and coffee bar is easy, especially when you shop for all your holiday goodies at Food Lion. You'll need an open table area in a central location so that your guests can easily access your bar. Then you can stock your cocoa & coffee bar with these essentials:
- Single Serve Coffee Maker
- Coffee K Cups
- Hot Cocoa K Cups
- Candy Canes
- Marshmallows
- Coffee Creamer
- Whipped Cream
- Coffee Mugs
- Napkins
You'll also need containers to hold your K Cups. This is where I'm making it super easy by giving you free printable labels to use with your Cricut or Silhouette.
You can upload this file to Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio. Then simply cut on vinyl and adhere to your containers.
When your containers are finished, fill them with your favorite flavors of coffee and cocoa. The single serving K cups make it super easy for guests to personalize their drinks on their own!
You can even add some of Food Lion's flavored coffee creamers for even more variety. Be sure to include lots of yummy toppings like mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, peppermint sticks for stirring, or even sprinkles. This makes it super fun for all ages and ensures that your open house will be a hit!
