Hot Cocoa + Cookie Bar

Hot cocoa and or a cookie bar are a fun way to end any holiday movie night, game night or gathering. I love serving my hot water or milk in a small pitcher so it is easy to pour. Just refill frequently. This Sterling Check Enamel Pitcher is the perfect size for serving your hot milk or water for your cocoa. Here is a closer look at how you can set up your cocoa / cookie bar with ease and style…
