How to Throw a Christmas Hot Chocolate and Cookie Party

Throw a Christmas Hot Chocolate and Cookie Party! This fun party theme is colorful and simple, with endearing vintage details.

Apparently, it’s party week ’round here {<– said with a southern accent} because today I’m sharing another batch of simple Christmas Table ideas. But, guess what?! This table setting has a completely different vibe because it is set for a Christmas Hot Chocolate and Cookie Party.

Sound tasty? If so, I bet you’ll love this tablescape that is kid-friendly, colorful, and filled with endearing vintage details.

Gather Supplies for a Hot Cocoa and Cookie Party

Now, two of the supplies must not be skipped. Which two? Why, hot chocolate and cookies, of course! I made pumpkin snickerdoodles and cream cheese cookies with sprinkles for our spread.

For the hot chocolate, you could:

I skewered jumbo marshmallows, which double as stirrers and the classic hot cocoa topping.

The centerpiece is a modern white cake stand, topped with cookies, a birch pillar, and a flower-filled canning jar.

Slate Placemats flank each side of the centerpiece, topped with a simple white plate. Atop each plate is a cloth napkin, wrapped with twine and a vintage Christmas light bulb. The “place card” is a red burlap letter.

Each spot also has a vintage Christmas card propped up at the top of the place setting, just for fun! Seriously, how cute are those Santas?
