3. Hot Chocolate Bar
This is such an amazing and creative idea. I love it. Hot chocolate is a must for me during the holidays. It’s the perfect way to warm up after coming inside from the cold, and the best drink to sip as you watch a movie or read a book by the fireplace.

Some old wooden skis, a green Christmas wreath, and some beautiful large pinecones make the perfect decoration. These skis have a lovely wintery and rustic feel to them.

The cutest little Christmas reindeer you’ve ever seen. Just look at that tiny one. Almost too adorable to decorate your mantel with or hide in the corners of shelves and next to fireplaces. These tiny reindeer would look great anywhere in the house!
8. Winter Pillow
A beautiful pillow to decorate your loveseats and beds. This subtle, simple, and beautiful pillow is a great way to add a Christmas touch to your home.
