How to set up a Christmas bar for the holidays

Can you believe that Christmas is only a little more than a month away? I love the Christmas season. Christmas is a time for getting together with loved ones and friends. When I have friends and family over during the holiday season, we spend a lot of time around my kitchen’s coffee/beverage cart. I love stocking the cart with coffees and flavored creamers for guests. I recently stocked my coffee cart for holiday get-togethers and crafted some cork coasters, too.

Stenciled Cork Coasters

When serving coffee during the holidays, it’s helpful to have extra coasters to protect furniture. So I picked up a pack of cork squares, a stencil and a black permanent marker. This project was quick and simple and took just a few minutes. (I also used a little bit of gold glittery craft paint.)

I used masking tape while stenciling to keep the stencil from slipping.

I enjoyed stenciling the coasters so much! I might have to pick up some more.

I like the look of these simple stencils.

Stocking a Holiday Coffee Cart

After my coasters were done, I headed to Target to ready my kitchen’s coffee cart for the holidays. I know I’ll be serving a lot of coffee during the holiday season, so I picked up some delicious Folgers® Red Can Classic Roast. The coffee was easy to find in the coffee aisle.

Flavored creamers are delicious additions for a coffee bar. So, I picked up some Simply Pure® Caramel and Vanilla Creamers at Target. I found them in the creamer refrigerated case. I like that the creamers have real milk, cream and sugar.

I then stocked my coffee beverage bar for the holidays. I think it looks really cute! I put the Simply Pure® Caramel and Vanilla Creamers in adorable mini milk jars. The jars have caps so I can use them to store any leftover creamer in the fridge. I added my DIY stenciled cork coasters, some new holiday mugs and some colorful cookie cutters for extra flair. (I got my mugs and cookie cutters at Target.) I set out some peppermint sticks for guests to use as coffee stirrers.

My teens love our new holiday coffee bar. They adore the flavored coffee creamers and were excited to see that we have some new holiday mugs!

My family and I are looking forward to spending warm and cozy afternoons with family and friends around our holiday coffee bar. It’s lovely enjoying a hot cup of coffee together on a cold day.
