Put Together A DIY Coffee Bar For Fall Entertaining

diy Coffee Bar for fall

Cozy and delicious coffee is already a must-have all autumn long, but the only thing that's better than sipping a fall coffee drink is putting together a fall coffee bar. Similar to how dressing up makes you feel more confident or cleaning your bed makes you feel on top of things, a DIY coffee bar will make you feel more put together without having to put in much effort. Plus, it'll keep all your coffee essentials in one place.

Fall Coffee Bar Trays

Matilda Goad & Co. Decorative Tray ($88+)

This gorgeous tray has bits of green and purple to remind you of spring, even on chilly fall days. Trays like this are great for smaller spaces that can't fit a whole cart because you can still hold mugs, syrups, and glasses all in one place.

Kirby Bar Cart ($149)

A rolling cart makes it easy to keep all of your coffee essentials in one place but still have the ability to roll it around the room should you need to.

Enamel Iron Serving Trough ($48)

This trough is the perfect thing to keep on a cart. You can store your coffee syrups, your glasses, and even a bowl of Keurig pods all in one place.

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia 16" Round Wood and Wire Tray ($23, was $30)

Wood and wire trays are perfect for modern farmhouse spaces and are just the right size for coffee for two. Croissants encouraged.

Mind Reader Clear Syrup Bottle Holder ($60)

The vertical design of this holder means that you can store all your syrups in one place and still see all their labels. That way you know exactly which syrups you have and how much you have left.

Fall Coffee Bar Syrups

Alfred World Famous Vanilla Syrup ($13)

Speaking of syrups, you can't go wrong with a vanilla syrup for your macchiatos, lattes, and cold brews, especially if it's a world-famous one.

Meadowland Syrups Hummingbird Simple Syrup ($18)

If you've never had a rose latte, you are missing out. This syrup combines the flower with fruity raspberry for a delicate and memorable flavor experience.

Uncommon Goods Sugar Cube Flight ($28)

If you don't like syrups but still want something to sweeten your drinks, get some flavored sugar cubes instead. We like this in lieu of regular sugar since they feature flavors like orange ginger and caramel vanilla.

Meadowland Syrups Pumpkin Spice Simple Syrup ($18)

It wouldn't be a fall coffee bar without some pumpkin spice syrup. After all, you have to be able to make a pumpkin spice latte whenever you want! It's handcrafted in Oregon with notes of nutmeg, clove, and allspice.

Runamok Cinnamon + Vanilla Infused Maple Syrup ($18)

We're already looking forward to maple season, and in addition to adding maple syrup on top of our pancakes, we'll be adding this cinnamon and vanilla pick right into our coffee.

Mugs And Cups

MMCreativaUSA Aesthetic Coffee Glass ($18+)

Elevate your coffee experience with sophisticated and minimalist glasses that look like diptyque candles. Make sure you only hand-wash it in cold water to keep the design as fresh as you can.

Louise Madzia Large Mug ($48)

This mug is great for anyone who's in need of a huge coffee in the morning. The screen-printed design is simple and clean, and it goes great with minimalist and artsy aesthetics alike.

Alt Vessel The Wave Mug ($55+)

Not only is this stoneware mug hand-thrown, but it also features a hand-painted wave for a personal and unique design. You can get either clear or colored glaze on the inside, but no matter which one you pick, you'll be drinking your coffee in style.

Tiled Margot Monogram Mug ($14)

These art deco mugs are equal parts vintage and glam, which is perfect for girls' brunch or bringing out warm drinks after a dinner party. Our favorite detail is the tile design inside the cup.

Adulting Merit Badge Mug ($15)

From "Put On Pants" to "Ate A Good Breakfast," this mug features badges for all of the tasks that come with being an adult, and it just so happens to be the perfect reward for all of your duties.

Coffee

Chamberlain Coffee Social Dog Blend ($16)

This coffee is flavorful, complex, and the perfect thing for early mornings. It's got a full body and smooth notes of milk chocolate, brown sugar, and graham cracker. We'll take two cups, please.

Caribou Coffee Caribou Blend K-Cup Pods ($31)

If you're trying to cut back on your coffee, these single-serve K-Cups might be exactly what you need. Caribou's medium-roast classic blend tastes great when it's drunk black or paired with creamer.

Partners Coffee Elevate Bag ($16)

Get in a fall mood with this coffee that features apple and caramel flavors. It pairs acidity and velvety smoothness for a sip that you'll love.

Nespresso Capsules VertuoLine ($38)

You don't have to pick between hazelnut, vanilla, and caramel with these Nespresso capsules. In addition to the delicious flavors, Nespresso has the Climate Pledge-friendly stamp of approval from Amazon *and* a collaboration with the Rainforest Alliance.

Girls Run the World Coffee Beans ($17)

These beans feature delicious flavors of toasted almonds and pink grapefruit, but that's not the best part. One-hundred percent of the profits go toward supporting girls' education in Mozambique.

Fall Coffee Bar Creamer

Chobani Hazelnut Coffee Creamer ($7)

Not only does every sip of this pick have a nutty finish from the hazelnut, but the real milk and natural cream mean that it's also creamy and smooth.

Nature's Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer ($15 for 3)

Dairy-free coffee lovers, rejoice! This creamer uses coconut cream and almonds to create a product that gives you that regular creamer experience, without the dairy. The fact that it's pumpkin spice is just the cherry on top.

Thrive Vanilla Coconut Creamer ($8, was $10)

This creamer will supercharge your mornings with pure vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and MCT oil. It's great for anyone who's gluten-free, paleo, and (since it's made with coconut milk powder) vegan.

Elmhurst 1925 Unsweetened Oat Creamer ($5)

You don't have to go crazy with sweeteners if you'd rather keep your coffee subtle. This dairy-free pick will give your coffee that creamy consistency, without any crazy flavors that will leave you less than happy.

Super Coffee French Vanilla Super Creamer ($15)

With no sugar or dairy in sight *and* a dose of protein and MCT oil, this creamer is almost too good to be true.

As much as we love talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce...Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie Kelce deserve their time in the spotlight too! They have a loving and hilarious dynamic that's somehow made room for not one, but three kids. And guess what? They recently announced that baby number 4 is coming soon! From their very funny announcement to everything they've said since, there's a lot of fun to unpack here.

Here's everything to know about Jason Kelce & Kylie Kelce's exciting pregnancy!

When did Jason and Kylie announce she's pregnant?

Amazon Prime

Kylie Kelce shared the huge news on Instagram November 22nd! Of course grandma Donna Kelce was the first to leave a comment. She wrote, "🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 Love it!!!" Brittany Mahomes also commented by writing, "Ahhhhhh Congrats you guys!!!🥹🤍."

How did Jason and Kylie's other daughters react?

Amazon Prime

In Kylie's same Instagram post, her and Jason's daughters can be seen expressing a range of emotions. There's an 'Eek' expression from their oldest daughter Wyatt, a happy look from their middle daughter Elliott, and pure tears from baby girl Bennett. Kylie wrote, "I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page! 🤷♀️"

When is Jason and Kylie's fourth baby due?

Amazon Prime

That's TBD! Since the couple just announced their fourth pregnancy, only time will tell when baby girl will arrive. Knowing Jason and Kylie's willingness to be open about their lives, we wouldn't be surprised if they decide to share a due date.

How are Jason and Kylie preparing to be a family of six?

Amazon Prime

Jason Kelce is taking the news of being an official girl dad like a champ. He told E! Newshe's "got it pretty easy" because "the clothes are all going to be hand-me-downs or already bought." Not only that, but they've already secured a baby crib! However, Jason was quick to add Kylie's also getting ready for their daughter's arrival. "Kylie's definitely preparing more than I am, because she's actually growing the human being."

“I love my kids so much, and especially my daughters,” he added. "I was telling somebody out there because they're expecting their first — and they look at you. They smile at you. There's just a way that kids have to warm your soul in a way that nothing else can.”

He's also excited to watch his daughters grow up with a new sibling. "And hopefully we'll welcome a fourth into this world, and we'll be able to watch them fight and tear each other apart and all the good stuff."

He even appeared on The Rich Eisen Show where he joked, "I'm screwed [in] like in 10 years. The moment they’re all in middle school, I feel like it’s just gonna be chaos." He also hopes Wyatt "can start helping out a little bit more." But, he's still looking forward to it! "I obviously have not had a son, but there is something about a daughter in the way I think as a dad, you feel an extra amount probably of protection and love toward that child," he shared.

This post has been updated with additional reporting by Justina Huddleston and Paige Johnson.

The story of Jesus might be one of the most famous stories in the world — but by focusing on telling the story "through the eyes of those who knew him," The Chosen takes a whole new approach to telling these very old stories. Oh, they also crowd funded their nearly-$100 million production costs.

In the spring of 2024, when The Chosen season 4's theatrical release (which earned nearly $16 million at the box office, FYI) ended with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday ahead of Easter, fans knew that the next installment, and the show's take on what Christians call Holy Week, would be one to remember. And yeah, based on the new The Chosen season 5 trailer, we were right.

Here's the latest news on The Chosen season 5, which creator Dallas Jenkins is also calling The Chosen: Last Supper!

What is The Chosen season 5 about?

The Chosen Season 5 Plot

Season 5 of The Chosen picks up right where season 4 leaves off: with Jesus entering Jerusalem for Passover, with "The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning," according to the official synopsis. And when Jesus calls out the religious leaders of the day, they decide to "go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last."

And the major question of the season, according to Dallas, is "What happens in the course of just a few days that causes people to go from worshipping him to wanting him killed?” he tells USA Today.

Is Jesus crucified in season 5 of The Chosen?

No, The Chosen season 5 won't feature Good Friday, or the crucifixion, because we know that's coming in The Chosen season 6. Dallas Jenkins told Deadline that the crucifixion will come in "season six and the resurrection will occur in season seven. Spoiler alert!" He also told Variety that "the entire Season 6 will cover one day, so covering one week in Season 5 feels luxurious.”

That is CRAZY! If the entire multi-episode season will revolve around Good Friday, then we could see it from a variety of characters' points of view. I've always been so heartbroken by the emotions and devastation that came after Jesus' crucifixion, and it looks like The Chosen season 6 won't shy away from that.

Dallas also reveals the season 5 finale will end right before Jesus' arrest, which came in the middle of the night between Thursday and Friday. And he promises "no one’s ever seen what we’ve got planned for that sequence." Season 3 featured Pontius Pilate's wife dreaming about the Garden and a snake, which feels like it could come full circle.

When is The Chosen season 5 coming out?

The Chosen Season 5 Release Date

The Chosen season 5 will premiere in theaters on March 27, 2025 and will release over the course of four weeks before streaming on The Chosen app where viewers can watch it for free.

Who's in the cast?

5&2 Studios/The Chosen

The Chosen Season 5 Cast

The cast of The Chosen season 5 includes Jonathan Roumie, Shahar Isaac, Paras Patel, Elizabeth Tabish, Noah James, George H. Xanthis, Abe Bueno-Jallad, Jordan Walker Ross, Giavani Cairo, Joey Vahedi, Alaa Safi, Reza Diako, Austin Reed Alleman, Vanessa Benavente, Lara Silva, Luke Dimyan, Amber Shana Williams, and Yasmine Al-Bustami.

How many seasons of The Chosen are being made?

There will be a total of seven seasons of The Chosen. Since season 5 is coming out in 2025 after season 4 in 2024, we can expect season 6 in 2026 and season 7 in 2027.

Why did Philip leave The Chosen?

If you watch seasons 2 and 3 of The Chosen and then start season 4, you might realize one of the disciples looks different. That's because Yoshi Barrigas (who originally played Philip) ended up leaving the show, and was replaced by Reza Diakos.

"For professional and personal reasons I will no longer be a part of The Chosen," he said on Instagram at the time. "First and foremost I want to thank you, the fans. Our connection and your constant showering of love and support has seeded me with a warmth that will forever nourish me. Meeting you out in the world and hearing how the show has personally enriched your lives continues to be the connective tissue between me and the good folk of this world. You inspire me to continue to die to self and discover The Way. I hope you continue to follow my journey. I have a lot more to share with you."

Baked Eggs in Butternut Squash Rings

Yummy Thanksgiving Appetizers can be as cute as they are scrumptious — like these Baked Eggs in Butternut Squash Rings recipe form Lisa Steele, author of The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook. Here's how you make it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 large butternut squash
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh sage for garnish
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the squash and cut crosswise into six 3/4- to 1-inch slices. Scoop out the seeds and hollow out the middle of each slice to allow room for an egg.
  2. Arrange the squash on the baking sheet and brush each ring with olive oil inside and out, then season with salt and pepper. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 20 minutes, until the squash has softened. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently crack and slide 1 egg into the center of each squash ring. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and return to the oven. Bake about 8 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolks are firm but not fully set.
  3. Use a spatula to slide the squash rings onto plates. Top with Parmesan, garnish with fresh sage, and drizzle with olive oil.
