We had the best surprise on Sunday morning! Our 2 elves, Jingle and Snowflake, made a hot chocolate station complete
the Polar Express storybook and a delicious selection of cocoa with all the toppings.
My girls love the Elf on a Shelf tradition and I have stepped up my game this year. Instead of just bringing books every night the elves now bring little treats or funny surprises. I thought this Elf on the Shelf Hot Chocolate Station was perfect for our family Sunday Funday. I even made printable signs in 3 sizes, including a mini one for the elf to hold!
Scroll down to see all our hot cocoa fun and ideas to make your own along with the link to download the free hot chocolate themed signs!
Our elf Jingle brings a book a night for the girls to read. Some we already have, some are from the library, and some are new reads!
For the Hot Chocolate Station surprise he brought our copy of Polar Express, which was a perfect choice!
You can check out the printable Christmas Stories Countdown here.
To set up the hot chocolate station I added mugs, a tray or platter, and I framed the large Hot Chocolate printable (link below to print).
You could also include spoons, napkins, and small plates.
I like to give the girls their own individual hot chocolate to choose from.
Sometimes we do hot chocolate bombs but this time I included packets of different flavors of hot chocolate.
They were about 50 cents each at the grocery store.
This Christmas tree shelf is from Target dollar spot. I love it!
It perfectly held my favorite toppings like Christmas shaped Peeps marshmallows, chocolate spoons, meringues, and cookie mug toppers.
I also include caramel, chocolate, and marshmallow sauce.
Other fun toppings to include: peppermint sticks, candy canes, mini milk chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and whipped cream.
Don’t forget cups or mugs too! I collect mugs so I always have a lot of fun holiday mugs to use. I even let the elf sit in one!
Of course, the elves left a few fun mini signs to display too!
There was even an itty bitty elf size card from Jingle!

I adore this idea for a elf on the shelf hot chocolate party. We have to do this after our next sledding outing.

This really is adorable! I love seeing what families do with Elf on a Shelf. I never did this with my trio, but I still enjoy seeing the interesting ways this Elf causes chaos (in a fun way) in the homes of those who use Elf on a Shelf tradition.

Absolutely loved the creativity! The hot chocolate station and printable signs were adorable. Even for a non-cook like me, it looked easy to set up. Thanks for the inspiration – I didn’t recreate it, but it sparked joy!
