🎅 NEW! 2025 Cozy Christmas Kitchen Decorate With Me +Cozy Hot Cocoa Bar🎅Traditional Christmas Decor

Hi, it's Sarah. Welcome back and welcome if you are new. I'm super excited you are here for part two of my Christmas decorating series. Today we are moving over to my kitchen nook, one of my favorite little spots to make cozy for the holidays. We're also putting together a cozy Christmas hot cocoa bar that we're all excited about. I've already finished decorating my kitchen so if you haven't seen that video yet be sure to check it out after this one. My theme this year is Mr. and Mrs. Claus's home and I've had so much fun bringing that to life. The kitchen was all about Mrs. Claus, warm, homey, and filled with that sweet gingerbread charm and now that same whimsical old-fashioned feel continues in here. I want the spaces to feel cozy, cohesive, and connected with that same magical theme flowing from the kitchen right into this area. Here is a little look at the before and I can't wait for y'all to see the after. I've laid everything out here on my table that I'm planning on decorating with. I've got a mix of new, old, and thrifted finds and I'm just going to share the few new pieces I picked up. There's one thing I didn't show here because I was still waiting for it to be delivered. A cute little gingerbread townhome that was from Wayfair. You'll see that when I start decorating. First I have this Santa mug that I picked up at Walmart this year. I just love him and I just think he is a perfect addition to my Santa mug collection. At Walmart I also picked up this glass red tree. I just love how festive and red it is. That is what I'm going for here in my home this year so I grabbed this and I love it. I recently found these Christmas plates at a thrift store for a great price and the moment I saw them I knew they'd be perfect for my Christmas table. I found these vintage gingerbread napkin rings on Amazon in two different styles. It's such a cute little touch. They'll make each napkin feel festive and tie beautifully into that gingerbread thing. These green salad plates are another Amazon find. I just adore the embossed edging and that tree there in the center. I just think they're so pretty. I found this scalloped edge cake stand at Walmart the other day and isn't it so beautiful? It is by the Pioneer Woman and I just love it. I love anything that has scalloped edges so of course I had to get it but I think it's going to look so pretty in here. I wanted to add a little extra to these candle holders that I already had so I grabbed some gingerbread cookie ornaments from Walmart and wrapped them around the top with a string then tucked in some greenery and red berry stems and this is how they turned out. It was super easy and it made such a big difference. The candle holders instantly felt so much more festive and Christmassy. I usually pick up a new candle every year for Christmas and this year I chose the Christmas Joy candle from Hobby Lobby. It smells so amazing even without lighting it. You just walk past it and you can smell it. It is a perfect Christmas scent. I found this vintage wall art canvas from Amazon and I just love the look of it. I know exactly where I want to put it at and I'm excited to use it. I found this red bow garland from Walmart and I just love the way it looks. I know Hobby Lobby has one similar but this one I found at Walmart. I did pick up a few of them because they were a really good deal and then I also have a few of these belt ornaments that I found at Walmart as well. Walmart has so many cute ornaments out this year. Maybe they've had them before and I just didn't notice them but this year I definitely noticed them and I just love them all. This little Christmas arrangement I found at Walmart. I know it might not be the most realistic looking but I think it was still cute. I love the little pot that it is in. It kind of gives me the that I'm going for in here. I found this pre-lit gingerbread village at Sam's Club and I just love this. It is so adorable. I love all the little details on it and I'm excited to use it here on my Christmas table. These white quilted place mats are from a few years ago and then this year I found this red quilted table runner on Amazon. I think together they will create that classic cozy Christmas look I'm going for with a bright red runner adding warmth and contrast against the soft white place mats making the table feel layered, festive, and inviting. I needed some new Christmas napkins so I found these ones at Ross the other day. I just love the green, the red, the plaids and I just think they will go well together with everything else I'm using. Alright so this is everything I'm planning on decorating with today. I might add or take away a few things as we go but overall this is everything. I'm so excited to start. I will try my best to link everything down below in my description so you check out those links if you started decorating for Christmas yet and what your theme is. I like to decorate early so I can have it all done and just sit back relax and enjoy December with my family and all the cute decor. I love how the shelves turned out. They brought in so much warmth and Christmas cheer to the space. Now we're moving over here to the table and I'm keeping things pretty simple but still super cozy and festive. I think that gingerbread village is going to be the star of this show. I think it is absolutely adorable and it really shows the theme that I'm going for in here. So let's decorate and see how this table turns out. The last spot we are going to decorate before we move on to the hot cocoa bar is this little black cabinet I have. I actually thought about putting a tree over here but right next to it is our family room where our big main Christmas tree goes and it would be right next to this so I didn't want two trees right next to each other so I'm just going to keep this here and decorate it all cute for Christmas and just make it feel cozy and fun and festive for the holiday season. Okay you guys I'm obsessed with how this kitchen have turned out. You can see the space when you walk into our home and again before you reach the main kitchen area so it feels like the perfect little welcome. Every time I walk by it makes me smile and makes my heart happy. It is such a cozy little corner of Christmas. I love how it is cheerful without being over the top and really makes the whole kitchen feel extra special at this time of year. Let me know down below in the comments what you think of everything if there's anything you change or what your favorite thing is. Now we are moving over here to put together our Christmas hot cocoa bar. It is one of our favorite little traditions and we've all been so excited to set it up this year. As I mentioned in my last video this home was built in the 1960s and you can see a bit of the original character here with this built-in desk. It is more of a catch-all spot and can get a little crazy sometimes. There's also a place we put our microwave at and we were planning on taking it out a few months ago but we're going to be waiting until the new year and I'm so excited about it. But for now it is a perfect spot for our Christmas hot cocoa bar. I found this desk shelf on Amazon a while ago but I decided to take it and put it up here and I think it works out great. It gives me some shelves to set out all my mugs, toppings, and little treats that make enjoying a warm cup feel extra magical this holiday season. I'm going to start by laying everything out so I know exactly where I want each piece before I start filling things up. I'll add a few cute decor pieces like this little tree that I found at Ross to make it feel extra festive and once everything is in place we'll fill it up with marshmallows, chocolates, and all the yummy sweet toppings to create a hot cocoa bar that everyone will love gathering around all season long. are watching the children's play on this bright and wonderful Christmas day it's so cold outside we're staying in here by the fireside I think I can hear far in the distance how sleigh bells play on this bright and wonderful Christmas day it's a wondrously slow and golden Christmas day when the sun gets low you're still by my side in the afterglow and warmth from the fire I love every moment as hours go by holding your head in the dying light it's so wondrously slow and golden Christmas day All right I'm all done and I couldn't be happier with how it all came together. It is so festive and fun and when the kids walked in from school and saw everything their excitement made it even more magical the perfect way to kick off a Christmas season. So I know this might be a lot but with a family of 10 we go big for the hot cocoa bar. The kids look forward to the weekends just for it it is their favorite little holiday treat. There is just something so magical about everyone gathered around laughing and grabbing their favorite toppings marshmallows candy canes and all the sweet little extras. From this to my kitchen nook I'm completely in love with how everything looks. Let me know down below in the comments what you think of everything I'd love to hear from you and thank you for spending some of your time with me today as we decorate in here for Christmas. Make sure to come back for more Christmas decorating next we are moving into my family room and I'm so excited to decorate that up. Thank you again for watching I hope you have a beautiful day a wonderful holiday season and I'll see you in the next one. Take care.
