There’s nothing better than curling up with a mug of hot cocoa on a chilly winter night. This Christmas, give warmth and comfort by creating Hot Cocoa Mugs and ornaments: the perfect DIY Christmas Gift. These are simple, affordable, and packed with holiday cheer!
My mom made these one year, and they were such a HOT gift, lol. She whipped up her unique hot cocoa mix, got tiny marshmallows, and put them in plastic ornaments on the tree when people came over for Christmas Eve. To make them even more fun, adding them to a personalized mug and wrapping it in celefane would make it the most holly jolly, Santa-approved gift.
