Baby It Is Cold Outside!


It's chilly here, no snow but we need something to warm us up, so I set up a cocoa bar in our Breakfast room. A fun filled experience with jolly santas, a nutcracker and lots of goodies.  The red and white theme is perfect in our red Breakfast room.

Who doesn't  like a hot cup of cocoa with all of the toppings.  it also reminds me of my childhood when our whole family visited Santas's village in the mountains with lots of snow.  My grandparent's, aunt and uncle and my mom and dad and my brothers and sister all took this trip together.

I set up this slim tree in the Breakfast room with some Buffalo check plus some red ornaments and dear old santas. I elevated the Christmas tree, because our sweet Bella pup was trying to eat things off the tree.
Santa mugs along with snowmen mugs make for a fun filled cup of cocoa.


I put  the toppings in my Mackenzie Child's tray for a festive look.
Buffalo plaid straws sit in the cute snowman mug .
My santas plus my new Grandin Road Nutcracker bowl sit on the tray.  Peppermint placemats and the cute red and white striped tall cups are so fun.


I have all of the fixings for a nice hot cup of cocoa.  Mini chocolate chips, crushed peppermint, marshmallows, candy canes and peppermint spoons plus whipped cream.
Chocolate mint cookies and sugar cookies with chocolate toppings.


Logan is quite the little ham decked out with reindeer ears.   Looks like someone snuck a cookie.
Our Lilly Dot loves the camera.  I told her she was striking a Nana pose...LOL

My Granddaughter Michaela along with Lilly and  Logan posing with the cocoa bar.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving.
