There is still time to create those trendy hot chocolate Christmas gifts for your friends and loved ones. Last year’s hot chocolate bomb was the number one item on everyone’s Christmas list, and this year it is the hot chocolate flight. It’s like a beer or wine flight, but you can create them with or without alcohol.
Hot Chocolate Flight
You can create the hot chocolate flight as a fun treat for that family gathering or pack the items in a basket and give it to someone as a great Christmas gift. The alcohol you choose for your hot chocolate flight can vary depending on what the person drinking it likes. Below are my favorite spirits to mix with hot chocolate, along with how to create them.

Hot Chocolate Bar
Everyone loves a coffee bar in their home, or at least I do. My coffee bar also doubles as a hot chocolate bar during the winter months. This hot chocolate bar is not only easy to create, but it’s also relatively inexpensive. It is the perfect gift for the hot chocolate lover in your family.
Items Needed
- Wooden Crate
- 3 Mason Jars
- 3 Colors Of Glitter – I used red, green, and white
- Deco Art Decou Page
- Sponge Brush
- Paper Plate
- Hot Chocolate Mix
- Mini Marshmallows
- Candy Canes
- Coffee Mugs – I got mine at the Dollar Tree
Directions
- Paint the wooden crate with acrylic craft paint or leave a natural wood look.
- For the jars, paint the decoupage one side at a time.
- While the decoupage is still wet, pour the glitter over it.
- Repeat step 3 until the whole jar is covered in glitter.
- Let the jar dry for 20 minutes to an hour.
- Brush another layer of decoupage over the glittered jar, and pour the glitter over it again.
- Let the jar dry for an hour or so.
- Sponge another layer of decoupage over the glittered jar, and let it dry overnight. This will hold the loose glitter on.
- Fill the jars with your favorite hot chocolate items, including marshmallows, candy canes, and hot chocolate powder.
- Place the jars inside the crate and the coffee mugs on top of the crate.
