A tea and coffee station is a fun and interactive way to entertain you guests over the festive season. It not only alleviates any stress when having to remember how many sugars to add or where to leave out milk, but it also gives you creative freedom throughout the holidays. Why not consider adding Santa’s hot chocolate station? Having little labelled jars filled with chocolate and marshmallow treats allows your guests to create fun and festive hot beverages for themselves.
You could easily create a beautiful station with an old bookshelf or even a chest that can be painted and/or distressed to create the effect you want. Choosing paint colours that complement your space will mean that your project will seamlessly fit into the room.
