What is your favorite time for hot cocoa?
We had a hot cocoa bar at our Christmas party last year. Huge hit. Someone just mentioned it again the other day. Whenever your guests can remember the food/drink at your party a year later, call it a success.
A variety of toppings made it fun.

The secret to the best cocoa is to top it with fresh whipped cream.
Hot Cocoa even makes a great gift.

If you were here, I'd pour you a cup.
And you know, one thing calls for another.
May you have warm and delicious memories this Christmas season!

Last Christmas, my family had brunch instead of lunch. We loved it! It's probably our new tradition. I repeated the hot cocoa bar. We like our cocoa creamy so I kept a crock pot of milk set on low. You could easily use water instead.
And no, this is not our brunch. It's a wanna be a.k.a. inspiration.

Your photos look amazing! I'm so glad I had some hot cocoa today! Mine was sugar free...but still very very good! Enjoy your week! ♥♥♥
Hot cocoa is my very favorite thing! I have some everyday, and with whipped cream too! I love it at night time and it has to be made with milk! I love your cocoa bar idea..looks so fun! :D
Yummy! We have found something we really love @ Wal-mart in the bakery section. Dark choc./white choc. with crushed peppermint on top. We dip it in our hot choc. But, I have seen girls making this very thing on some cooking posts.
Everything looked gorgeous and then we got to the Santa towel and it gave me such a chuckle. So cute.
This is a fun post. It's a good thing we have no hot chocolate in the house or I'd be headed now to get some!
Yum, I will have to make a cup now! My waste line thanks you! I love the idea of the hot cocoa bar. My daughters birthday is next week and I will have a bunch of little girls over!
Merry Christmas & stay warm!

Oh yes...fresh whipped cream will do it! I think I will go make myself a cup. Love the idea to have a hot cocoa bar!
My dearest Tammy,
You bring the cocoa and I'll bring the cookies and we will look at the Christmas lights together.:) I love my hot chocolate after I have taken a long walk in the snow and frigid air, nothing better to warm up your insides nicely!
Love and hugs, Cindy
At the risk of sounding like a lush, I like a splash of butterscotch schnapps in my hot chocolate. It turns it into a creamy, caramel like drink.
Hello, I'm still making my Pink Saturday visits. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment. Your hot choc. looks delish and I love how you made the gift. I loved that movie too!
Happy Holidays, Shirl

What a wonderful idea and tradition Tammy! My boys would love a Cocoa bar!
That hot chocolate and spiced cider on a cold night is hard to beat.
A cocoa bar! Now that's brilliant. I love that idea. We are also having brunch for Christmas - quiche, cinnamon rolls, muffins, fruit, etc. then for dinner we are have TAMALES!! Yeah, the only time of year we eat them and yum I can feel my thighs growing just thinking about them.
Hot Cocoa is my all time favorite drink. I have to admit I drink it ALL year round. I also got my nephew addicted. First thing in the morning her wants a cup of cocoa. I've created a monster.
Your cocoa bar looks amazing! I'll have to try it.
i can smell it! yum!yum!
What a great idea for a hot cocoa bar! I love it.

Thanks for your sweet comment. I'm ready to come for a visit and have some of that hot cocoa! Have a wonderful Tuesday!
My favorite place for hot chocolate is Serendipity in NYC (frozen). I'd love to try yours. It looks like it could become my favorite!
Best,
