Who doesn't love these three symbols of the Christmas holiday? I took some candy and cocoa mix and made these easy hot cocoa cups. You can give them to your neighbors or kids in general just love them.
Oriental Trading makes Christmas craft shopping so easy. I love heading online and seeing all the different things I can create.
I began with these plastic cups and then filled each of them with marshmallows for the snowman, crushed candy cane candies for Santa and hot cocoa mix for the reindeer.
I used the templates below to cut the shapes with my Cricut Maker. You could certainly cut them by hand but the Cricut makes everything easier.
Supplies
- Plastic Cups
- Crushed Candy Cane candy
- Mini Marshmallows
- Hot Cocoa Mix
- Santa Hat
- Cardstock (red, white, black, green)
- Brown Pipe Cleaners
- Red and Black Pom Poms
- Googly Eyes
- Glue
- Design Space File
After you've filled your cups with their ingredients, apply googly eyes to all of them. GlueDots are awesome for this or you can use a glue gun. Use the low-temp setting or else you will melt your cups.
With the reindeer, you'll want to shape your pipe cleaner into antler shapes. Hot glue the antlers to the top of the lid. Attach the red pom pom for his nose.
For Santa, hot glue the Santa hat onto the lid. I placed one dot on the inside of the seam of the hat and attached the lid to it. I was able just to fold the hat over the entire lid and it was a perfect fit. Add the mustache cut out and a small red pom pom for his nose.
For the snowman, glue his hat on to the lid and three mini black pom poms for the buttons. Add the holly berry to his hat.
You can tie them all together in a bunch to gift them or just place them near a table setting for the kids to make their own hot cocoa cups. This makes the perfect addition to any meal or just a Christmas treat.
