Holiday Chocolate and Coffee Bar Ideas

Coffee and chocolate. Is there a more dreamy pairing? Why not celebrate the holidays with the best of the best? Coffee is absolutely one of my very favorite things, I thought it would be fun to create the perfect holiday chocolate and coffee bar for my guests this season. Treat company to a warm and inviting corner with delicious fixings that they'll look forward to year after year. This blog post was sponsored by Starbucks® but the opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

Chocolate and Coffee Bar Ideas

The start of any yummy chocolate and coffee bar is the perfect festive combo of flavors. I have some mouth watering pairings that are holiday perfect. Get ready to drool, friends.

For my chocolate and coffee bar, I chose to serve Starbucks Holiday Blend K-Cups paired up with Lindt LINDOR Milk Chocolate Truffles. If you've never had their truffles, you're going to be in for a treat. They just melt in your mouth. I consider it a chocolate experience. {Runs off to enjoy one}.

More festive pairing ideas:

Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Caffe Latte K-Cup  served along with Lindt LINDOR Peppermint Cookie Milk Chocolate Truffles. Mmm. I love the cookie bits in these.

VIA Peppermint Mocha paired with Lindt LINDOR Peppermint White Chocolate Truffles, these are actually perfect for gifting, I'm sharing a tasty idea for this below. Yum.

I'm totally digging gold mixed in with traditional holiday colors. Target had everything I could have wished for decorating my holiday bar ideas.  From Merry Christmas Cocktail Stirrers to Gold Polka Dot napkins and the most wonderful shiny Gold Striped hot and cold cups.

I added my chocolate and K-Cups to individual little gold favor boxes that guests could pick and choose from. I think they'll be doing a whole of of picking.

If you're using a Keurig or any other coffee maker, include is as part of your table set up.  Allowing guests to make their own coffee will free you up as the host. It will give you more time to mix and mingle and everyone will get to make their own yummy creations that they'll love.

Make sure to offer the basics for coffee fixings as well as some festive choices like peppermint stirrers or candy canes and holiday themed sprinkles.

Get excited, because offering up a pretty chocolate and coffee bar is going to put your house on the map for being a favorite place to visit.

Now that we have our holiday hosting on lock, give the gift of the perfect chocolate and coffee pairing too. Whether a favor for guests to take home or just a thoughtful way to give the best this season, let's get creative.

Chocolate and Coffee Party Favors

The perfect base for a coffee favor or gift is the perfect mug. I also got the idea after shopping at Target to use pretty paper cups too. So many options and a great way to spread more love when you buy a multi-pack.

Make this easy gift like I did, all of these goodies can be found at Target:

 Coffee Mug to hold your gift together.
 Tissue or a Cute Napkin for stuffing.
 Drink Coasters. I LOVE the ones I got at Target!
 Mini Candy Canes or Peppermint Stir Sticks
 Merry Christmas Cocktail Stirrers

All that's left to do is pick the perfect combo that your gift recipient will love. Here are some ideas:
