Crafty!! I love being crafty during this time of the year, especially when it comes to gifts. I started thinking about what I wanted to give Jude’s teachers for Christmas and knew that I wanted to do something fun and different.
Hot Cocoa Mix Filled Ornaments
Materials Needed:
Coffee Mugs – I found these fun Mason Jar inspired mugs at Michaels
Hot Cocoa Mix
Mallow Bits
Fill-able plastic, food safe, ornaments
String or ribbon
Gift Tags
Peppermint stir sticks
Peppermint stir sticks
Directions:
Clean ornaments. Once clean fill them with Hot Cocoa of your choice. I used single serving packets to ensure the proper amount in each ornament. I also found some yummy Peppermint Cocoa to use!
Sprinkle some Mallow Bits in each ornament.
Close ornaments – I used packing tape around the ornament just to be safe!
Tie string or ribbon onto the ornaments.
Using string or ribbon tie the peppermint stir sticks to the mug.
On a gift tag let your recipient know how much water to add the cocoa mix to and tie the gift tag to the mug as well.
I put the mug and ornament in gift bag for easy travel. Ready for gifting!
This is a super easy and cute Christmas gift idea for teachers, neighbors and coworkers! I suggest finding mugs that fit the personality of the person you are giving this gift to. Have fun and get creative!
These are so adorable! How fun!
Those are adorable! What a clever idea and so much more interesting than sticking a packet in a mug. Btw… love those mugs, too!
I LOVE these mugs and the ornaments are such a good idea!
I love this idea! These ornaments would also look great filled with candy.

This is interesting…I would have never thought of creating something like this…but it's a very cute idea.
How cute are these? I've never tried filling an ornament, but this would be a great gift to give.
These are super cute.
