Set up a Cozy Christmas Kitchen Coffee & Hot Cocoa Bar!
Create a fun area with a festive sign that labels the coffee and hot cocoa area with tasty toppings chopped up and placed in small serving dishes ready to go. Include chocolate chips, peppermint/candy canes, marshmallow and more. Top it off with homemade whipped cream and your guests will be so impressed that you made it from scratch. It’s so easy to make! Here’s the recipe using Shamrock Farms Heavy Whipping Cream…

Here are several recipe ideas that will make the perfect sweet & savory snack bar that your holiday company will gobble up. For the sweet recipes, Shamrock Farms Eggnog fabulous flavors can be used!

Shamrock Farms has Traditional Eggnog, Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla Spice. My favorite is the Shamrock Farms Vanilla Spice that’s rich and creamy and is made with an extra splash of vanilla and spice.

Simple Savory Shamrock Farms 2-Step Sour Cream Onion Dip with Red & Green Veggies and Chips
This will be the easiest recipe you ever make! Keep a tub of Shamrock Farms Natural Sour Cream handy in the fridge. When you’re ready to make the dip, simply empty the contents of the sour cream into a bowl and stir in a packet of French onion soup mix and just like that, you’ve got a tasty dip that pairs well with veggies and chips! I love that Shamrock Farms Natural Sour Cream is made with a simple blend of pure fresh milk and cultured cream with no thickeners or artificial preservatives.
With the hot cocoa and coffee bar and the overnight oats from the sweet & savory snack bar, you might even be able to sleep in as your overnight guests can help themselves to the coffee and oats in the morning! I call that working smart and having a less stressed and even restful holiday gathering!
