A hot cocoa bar is a space in your home, it can be a designated spot on the counter or even a bar cart, and has everything you need to make a delicious cup of hot cocoa or coffee.

I place my Keurig machine in the center or if you are not using one of these, then your container with milk or water and a way to warm it up in the middle of your display.
I use a tiered tray to house all my coffee mugs that I will use the most and it makes it easy to grab one.
Then I have a bowl of all my K-Cups and cocoa mix next to my Keurig. I feel like it is much easier to have them in a bowl rather than in the cabinet and in a closed container.
Then before making drinks, I like to have a small plate with some perishable items on it. You can layer your plate with a bowl to separate items.
I found this adorable white holiday truck and filled the glass cylinder in the back, made for a candle, with Hershey chocolates. It’s a fun and unexpected place to have them!
I added other holiday decor from Walmart to jush it up a bit. I am in love with these plaid fabric trees and found green knit ones too.
