Dear Shahzadis!
This particular time of year, there is so much to think about. With all the tasks we have to accomplish in the day, How do we inject a little {Glittery Holiday Spirit} into our lives? The stores are exploding at the seams with a plethora of decorations, but don’t want to invest in crazy expensive decorations; how do you incorporate easy DIY crafts and create an {Elegant Holiday Affair}? Have you suddenly found yourself surrounded by little kids this year? Throw them a {Kiddie Christmas}!
Everyone seems to be having a party this year! if you are hosting a holiday dinner or maybe even Christmas Eve/Christmas Day brunch, here is my last set of ideas to make it just a little more fun and unique!
I went to a Christmas brunch at my best friend’s house not to long ago… and she had a little hot chocolate bar which I thought was such a cute way to allow the guests to make their cup just the way they liked it! This idea of doing a food “Bar” of sorts made me think.. are we limited to just Hot chocolate? Is there more we could set up this way? Well DUH! Anything is possible!
Hot Chocolate Bar Via Dear Lillie
Use your mason jars and fill them with toppings like chocolate chips, marshmallows, cinnamon sticks, and anything else you know your guests would love to pile on top of a a piping hot cuppa Ho-Cho!
I also like to fill salt shakers with sea salt, chocolate powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Tell your guests to bring their favourite mug to make it even more personal!
Milk and Cookie Bar via Engaged & Inspired
Die with me now. This is the bar for the kid at heart! Need I describe this bar? I didn’t think so. Go with this idea where your tummies take you Shahzadis!
A savoury addition to the party of bars, we have a grilled cheese bar. This is a great idea to add to a holiday brunch! Make a bread basket, add a selection of cheeses and pull out that Panini press you got for Christmas last year and put it to some good use! Make sure you have a hot pot of tomato soup simmer on the stove and you have yourself a tradition in the making <3
Cupcake Fondue Via Bake it Pretty
I know what you’re thinking… I’m LAZY! and I don’t have that kind of table real estate to make an entire activity station! Well my dears, never fear! I have the bar just for you! A mini cupcake fondue station! Set up a platter of un-frosted mini cuppies, and have a simple white chocolate fondue going.. and set up little tea cups of toppings! PERFECT! Just Crazy perfect.
you are welcome.
<3
Happy Holidays my lovelies. May the chilly weather give you the perfect excuse to fill your homes to the brim with the most important people in you life, hug them closer and enjoy time together over a cup of hot cocoa, or turkey or just plain hang out!
As this will be the last post of the year, all the very best as you embark on 2013!
See you all in 2013!
<3
