Ingredients
Method
Set up the hot cocoa bar
- Arrange mugs, marshmallows, and hot cocoa toppings at a height that’s easy for guests to reach.
Decorate the room
- Hang snowflake cutouts or place snowflake decor around the space for a winter backdrop.
- Cluster blue and white balloons near entryways and the dessert area to frame the theme.
- Drape fairy lights along tabletops or backdrops to create a soft, wintery glow.
Style the dessert table
- Arrange winter-themed treats on a dessert table in a mix of heights so cupcakes and cookies look layered.
Add blanket favors
- Place plush blanket favors in a visible spot so guests can grab one before heading home.
Finish with table styling
- Style tables with white linens and cool-blue accents throughout so the space looks cohesive from meal to photo area.
Notes
Pro tip: if your venue allows it, use battery-powered fairy lights to keep the winter glow consistent without worrying about outlets. For storage, this theme is best assembled fresh the day of; any leftover decor like snowflake cutouts can be stored for 1–2 months in a sealed bag. Freezer is not applicable for decor and party items. Dietary swap: since this is a theme layout, you can swap dessert items for gluten-free or dairy-free options while keeping the same blue-and-white winter styling.
