21 Instagrammers to Blame for the Insanely Delish *Cocoa Bar* Trend

Everyone’s obsessed with steamy, dreamy hot cocoa drinks right now. There’s nothing like a mug of sweet hot chocolate to brighten the dark and chilly winter nights. If you’re thinking of serving some at your next party, get a gander at the over-the-top cocoa stations dominating Instagram right now. It’s pretty easy to set up and you just need a few cocoa bar essentials. From string lights and kitschy mugs to homemade marshmallows and mug toppers to cinnamon and peppermint swizzle sticks, it’s the sweet trimmings that bring on the likes. Scroll on for 21 examples of crazy cocoa bar inspo that will make you long to PAR-TAY right now.

1. Cottage Chic: A painted bureau makes a folksy bar to hold a hot cocoa spread. Add a rustic tray under the mugs and a few baskets to hold the fixins, and you’re ready for your guests to arrive.

2. Night Lights: The only thing more cozy than hot chocolate is the warm glow beaming down from strategically placed string lights. Notice how the cozy knitted throw makes a perfect tablecloth and provides a snowy background for all the cocoa goodies.

3. Snow White: If you’ve got a distressed farmhouse table, you’ve got an instant cocoa station. Just add matching cups and condiments and this refreshment stand is *pure* winter wonderful.

4. Peppermint Twist: Kitschy mugs add whimsy and color to your cocoa bar. This red, white and green theme makes everyone want to shout: Happy Holidays!

5. Country Casual: Mismatched teacups on a peg wall creates a charming casualness that cues your guests to make themselves at home. If you’ve got a single-serve coffee maker, your friends can help themselves.

6. Small Spaces: There’s a cocoa bar to suit every size dwelling — even the tiniest houses have room. If you’re pressed for space, a tiered lazy Susan holds *all* of the essentials.

7. Theme Song: The framed chalkboard above this coffee bar sets the tone and provides an invitation to your guests to partake. Pre-prepped thermal pitchers make serving a breeze.

8. Candy Stripes: Peppermint goes so well with hot chocolate — and red and white striped accessories do too. Retro paper straws take us back to a time when we all thought the North Pole was a giant peppermint stick!

9. Candlelight Cozy: Remember the *hygge* trend that’s been burning up Instagram? A little bit of candlelight on your cocoa bar really does make everyone feel warm and cozy inside.

10. Porch Niche: Locating your cocoa station on the porch is brilliant. It gives everyone a reason to cool off outdoors — and check out those holiday lights you labored to get *just right.*

11. A Moveable Feast: Setting up a cocoa bar doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be as cheerful and easy as this portable tray, stacked with all the essential goodies.

12. Cocoa-land: If you’ve got a kitchen island or peninsula, you’ve got an instant cocoa bar. Just lay out some festive cups and plug in your slow cooker to keep the cocoa warm.

13. Cableknit Backsplash: Colorful knitted textiles add warmth to this cocoa bar. The pops of red, repeated in the lantern, flowers and buckets that hold the mug toppers, gives this setting a dose of holiday cheer.

14. Sweet + Simple: This mini-bar offers all the essentials, plus peppermint and chocolate nib toppers. What’s not to L-O-V-E!

15. Tuxedo Bar: A black and white theme is perfect for a New Year’s Eve party. Coffee pods mixed in with the cocoa pods would be a great way to ensure all your night owls stay alert until the ball drops.

16. Rustic Chic: Everything doesn’t have to be *holiday* matchy matchy when you’re setting up your cocoa bar. This station mixes white mugs with copper Moscow Mule cups. The industrial steel caddy and the driftwood frame and trivet help pull this rustic-industrial look together.

17. All Lit Up: Homemade marshmallows are the stars of this show — but who could say no to a shot of boozy tipple? The snowflake tablecloth and strings of fairy lights add another layer of inviting warmth to this spread.

18. All Decked Out: Peppermint mini marshmallows, check. Candy cane swizzle sticks, check. Dark and white chocolate morsels, check. This holiday-themed cocoa bar is raring to go!

19. Bling Fling: The silver samovar, brass serving tray and gold leaf picture frames make this cocoa bar a feast for the eyes. A basket of biscotti is a nice added touch, giving guests something to nibble on as they drink their cocoa.

20. Cozy Countertop: A bar that’s set up in the corner of your kitchen will be very easy to keep refreshed. From folksy figurines to mason jar canisters and generous mugs, this kitchen cocoa station makes everyone feel right at home.

21. Boozy Bar: There’s nothing better than a warm mug of cocoa — unless it’s a *spiked* mug of cocoa. A little shot of something-something spreads all that warmth right down to the tips of everyone’s toes.

Our top 14 favorite Target party dresses for the 2024 season:

Target

A New Day Midi Lace Trim Dress

The chic v-neck on this silky midi dress is lined with a lace trim that make it all the more elegant. Pair this pick with a contrasting clutch and your favorite tall boots to totally rock the look!

Target

A New Day Drop Tier Maxi Dress

This is a dress style I gawk over all the time, thanks to none other than Sex and the City. The dramatic drop-waist helps elongate and flatter your figure, so you'll be feeling uber-confident the moment you walk into any party. Plus, this sultry burgundy color is such a perfect fit for winter functions.

Target

Wild Fable Rosette Tube Maxi Bodycon Dress

A tube dress is gonna get me every time. The strapless look is simply iconic because you can show up to the party covered up in a cardigan, then make the big reveal once things start to turn up. The statement rosette on this pick's neckline is a whole accessory in itself, so all you need is a good pair of statement earrings to complete the ensemble!

Target

Wild Fable Long Sleeve Flocked Mini Fit & Flare Dress

Want a bit of coverage, but still want to feel sexy? This off-the-shoulder party dress is for you! The long sleeves and textured velvet material make it feel much more winter-appropriate, but you still get to show off your neckline.

Target

Wild Fable Tiered Bow Mini Lace Dress

I am still thoroughly obsessed with bows, which is why I'm definitely snagging this style for any upcoming holiday shindigs. The tiered styling is undeniably flattering, and the black trim qualifies this party dress to be a good match with other black pieces, from jackets to boots.

Target

Ava & Viv Long Sleeve Rosette Midi A-Line Dress

When it comes to wintery fabrics, velvet reigns supreme. This playful square-neck mini dress is super soft to the touch and has the perfect amount of personality, thanks to the lil' rosette decal up front.

Target

Wild Fable Open Work Sequin Midi Dress

Yes, yes, and yes. This is my favorite Target party dress of them all. Though simple in its silhouette, the multicolored sequins do all the talking. Since this long dress makes a statement all on its own, I'd style it with some simple heels.

You loved our fall trends for women over 50 story so much we just couldn't wait to share winter ideas with you! Though there's not a huge difference between what's popular during both seasons, there are small ways you can transition your wardrobe. From tailored denim to scarf coats (our favorite), here are five winter trends women over 50 can seamlessly wear!

Explore the top 5 winter trends women over 50 can easily style

  1. Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt
  2. Mango Suede Leather Loafers
  3. Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag
  4. Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater
  5. Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

1. Tailored Denim

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor The Denim Trouser

Denim is a timeless classic that's been around for as long as any of us can remember. It also comes in a variety of styles, making it easy to style no matter your age. What makes tailored denim so special — like this pair of Ann Taylor trousers — is it's ability to be appropriate for business casual work settings. The classic rinse wash is more ideal for cooler winter days while the flared hemlines give ankle books a nice peek-a-boo feature.

GAP

GAP Classic Button-Down Jean Shirt

A classic button-down shirt with non-stretch denim is another easy style to wear because it can go with almost anything you own. Bootcut jeans? Yep! A suede midi skirt? We love a western moment! However, the most important thing we appreciate about this shirt is that it's made of 95% cotton.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt

Denim skirtshave been been on the style scene for a while and we're sure they're here to stay. To avoid baring too much skin during winter, opt for a midi option like this piece from Banana Republic. It has a similar flared hemline like the Ann Taylor Denim Trousers, making it appropriate for 9 to 5 days, brunch with friends on Saturday, or church on Sundays!

2. Playful Textures

Mango

Mango Suede Leather Loafers

Loafers are an absolute staple during fall and winter, hence why we keep talking about them so much! They're a chic way to elevate even the most basic t-shirt and jeans outfit combinations, plus they work for everyone. Get a suede pair to add subtle texture to your outfit for a fun chic moment.

Old Navy

Old Navy High-Waisted Corduroy Wide-Leg Pants

Corduroy pants are another winter staple that continue to be recycled throughout the years. No matter how hard we try, we keep coming back to them which is why we think they're a great style option for women over 50. Because of their texture, these pants can also add subtle texture to your overall look without creating a huge statement.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Joe's Jeans by Dani Michelle Mia Crop Leather Pants

If you want to wear something a little bolder, you can't go wrong with black leather pants. They're a must-have during colder months, especially if they're lined!

This pair gives you the option to wear them with calf or knee-high boots so that they elongate your frame. Ankle boots are always cute, but they'd slightly throw off the dimensions of these pants! Once you have your chosen footwear, add a cute cardigan or sweater to it for a cozy look that'll receive compliments!

3. Animal Print

Tecovas

Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag

Leopard print is always trending, but that doesn't mean that's the only animal pattern you have to wear. Cow print is another fun way to add a pop of texture to your outfit if you're wearing something monochromatic. Or, you can easily copy the outfit above and look equally as stylish.

P.S. Don't be surprised if you see someone from B+C's editorial team wearing this look!

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Oversized Snake Print Midi Dress

It's okay if wearing cow print feels weird to you because that's not your only option! Snake print is another pattern you can wear, especially if it looks like this Banana Republic midi dress. Instead of the typical depiction of snakes, this dress looks like someone zoomed in on scales and created something that feels more refined.

Sam Edelman

Sam Edelman Linnie Bit Mule

Add a touch of zebra print to your winter outfit with these calf hair mules by Sam Edelman. They still have a bold factor like the Tecovas tote bag or the Banana Republic snake print dress, but they're not as in-your-face.

4. Shades Of Green

J.Crew

J.Crew Daphne Topcoat

Everyone needs a nice topcoat in their life, preferably in the shade green! We're 100% biased about that because green brings out a person's inner glow and helps ground them based on color psychology. Also, the fact you could wear a sweatsuit with this coat and still look put together makes us excited to share it with you.

Target

Target Bucket Crossbody Bag

Add a pop of color to your outfit with this cute crossbody bag found at Target, everyone's favorite place to shop. The minimal gold hardware gives it such a sleek appearance that we're personally fighting the urge to buy it in black too!

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater

You can always rely on a sweater to be easy to style! Abercrombie & Fitch's funnel neck version is amazing for anyone who wants to wear a turtleneck without feeling like they're struggling to breathe. We understand they're not always comfortable, but you won't get that with this cute style!

5. Cardigan & Coats

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

Are you ready to give up cardigans? We figured you'd say no so we're giving the best of both worlds — a cardigan coat. Anthropologie always has the cutest winter styles so this brushed texture was too cozy-looking to ignore. You know what's even more exciting about it? Anthropologie is literally giving you an OOTD idea you can easily recreate at home!

NA-KD

NA-KD Wool Scarf Detail Coat

Protect your neck from the brutal winter winds with NA-KD's scarf coat that'll keep you warm and chic. It's slightly oversized so you're able to wrap yourself up and not have to worry about looking like you didn't put any effort into your look.

Quince

Quince Double-Faced Merino Wool Scarf Coat

Go for a shorter option for the days where it's not as cold. You'll still get the same effect from a longer scarf coat without feeling like you'll trip over the hemline. Since Quince's design is wool, you'll still be nice and toasty! Just add a pair of gloves so that your hands don't freeze!

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."

Though he admits finding "patience" throughout parenthood is difficult, he feels "the most rewarding thing is just smiles."
