Quick Hot Cocoa Gifts

Are you ready?  Christmas is only 9 days away!  If you are in need of an easy last-minute gift, look no further.  Grab a few empty jars, a piece of paper, some hot cocoa mix and get crafting.

Quick Hot Cocoa Gifts by @popperandmimi using Home for Christmas goodies by @PebblesIncWho doesn’t love hot cocoa with mini marshmallows?  It is a wintertime staple around our house.  There are so many fun ways to package up hot cocoa and marshmallows, making it a fun and easy gift to give to anyone.  Tie on a peppermint candy spoon and it becomes perfection!
