Hot Cocoa Bar
Hot cocoa bars are not as common as you would think. A cocoa bar is basically like a table somewhere in the home and you fill it with all kinds of yummy treats and foods that goes well with hot cocoa. I like to set my hot cocoa bar near the fireplace next to the tv in the living room. This makes for a really cozy and warm hang out spot where you can lay back on the couch, watch some Netflix while sipping hot cocoa with marshmallows and eating pastries! Some cool items to place on your hot cocoa bar are as follow:
- Chocolate Chips
- Peanut Butter

Winter Tablescapes
This winter decoration idea is one of my favorites because if you are really into arts and crafts, you can definitely get crazy with your ideas and bringing this awesome trend to life! Winter tablescapes is basically a table with some kind of thematic layout relative to a season, a holiday, or some kind of celebration. Have you ever seen the movie Beetlejuice? Remember the table with the small town layout? That is a perfect example of a tablescape! In this case, because it is winter, we will stick with the winter wonderland theme. You’ll have to think about the colors you want to use and the detail as it is very important in creating the overall theme and sticking with it. I personally like the winter blue, silver, white, and gold for this particular winter home decoration. It looks very wintery and like snow is ready to fall from the sky. You can take some of the following ideas below to help create your ideal winter tablescape!
