  • Decorate the station with a holiday-themed tablecloth, string lights, and a chalkboard sign that reads “Hot Chocolate Bar.”
  • Provide festive mugs and candy cane stirrers for added charm.

 

💗 Infuse Your Home with Festive Scents

Set the mood with warm and inviting holiday aromas:

  • Simmer a pot of water with orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise for a natural fragrance.
  • Use candles in seasonal scents like peppermint, pine, or gingerbread.
  • DIY sachets with dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, or lavender for a subtle, refreshing scent.

Encourage quiet, festive moments with a dedicated reading spot:

  • Stock it with Christmas classics like The Night Before Christmas or A Christmas Carol.
  • Add a small chair or beanbag, soft pillows, and a warm blanket for comfort.
  • Include a lamp or string lights to create the perfect ambiance.
