Hot Choc Station

Our drink menu for Christmas consists of eggnog, beer, wine, whiskey, and . . . hot cocoa for the kids! When i was a child, i used to watch adults drink alcohol beverages during celebrations; staring in awe wondering “Why can’t i do the same?“. That feeling of being left out continued to bug me for years and honestly, i didn’t like how that feel. Since we had my little cousin over, i wanted to keep him occupied and even better than that – feel special. So i set up a ‘Hot Cocoa Station’ with chocolate chips and marshmallow for Julian to fix his own drink, as we adults cheered away into the night. As i’m writing this, i’m having a mug to myself! 😆

Items you need:

• Milo
• chocolate chips
• marshmallows
• icing sugar (as ‘snow’)
• glass bottle
• green ribbons
