This hot chocolate ornament makes a great gift during the holidays. You can make them in batches and give to a variety of people. They make great teacher gifts, party favors, office gifts, or treats to give along with a tip to service workers who’ve helped you throughout the year. You can give them as the gift, to attach them to a larger gift, or attach a gift card to it.

And, what’s so great is that this is just an assembly project. No cooking required.
Start with a clear plastic ornament. We like clear plastic ornament. You’ll need a funnel to get the ingredients inside, but just layer them, one by one.
Love how the candy canes look in the ornament. They add that pop of color.
And, what’s hot chocolate without some marshmallows. The mini versions work great here.
Once you’re done with the layers, just add the ornament topper back on.
And, here’s your gift, ready to give.

We have been having so much fun with these plastic ornaments this year! Also, we love peppermint in our hot chocolate – we even made our Santa Bear Hot Chocolate Melts mint!
These are great !! I was looking for something unique and it is perfect for gifting my son’s teachers. Thanks for sharing.
These are so cute. I love the pop of color from the candy cane. My little man would have so much fun helping me make these.
Love this idea! Might have to add a bottle of Bailey’s for some adults I know
Oh my goodness this is the sweetest idea! I’ll definitely be keeping this in mind 🙂 thank you!
I love this gift idea…How does the receiver know who much liquid to add to make a drink?
add 8 ounces of water or milk to make the cocoa.
