Inside: Make tasty and cute homemade hot chocolate ornaments. Plus use the free printable to make it a great gift.
It’s day two of ornament week, and I’ve spent the entire afternoon making these hot chocolate ornaments! This homemade hot chocolate ornament is the gift we will be giving to the boys’ teachers for Christmas. I will be adding a Starbucks giftcard for the final gift. Didn’t they turn out SO cute!?
Homemade Hot Chocolate Ornaments-
You will need empty glass ornaments {can be found in most craft stores or HERE on Amazon. {affiliate link} You can use hot cocoa you have, or make up a quick batch of my homemade version. I made this printable to add as a tag to the ornament. It also includes the instructions for making the hot chocolate.
This is the full size printable. You can click on the image, then print it if you would like. I’ve offered a couple of options below.

I mixed up a big batch of homemade hot chocolate using simple ingredients.
DIY Hot Cocoa Recipe –
Homemade Hot Chocolate
Ingredients
- 2 TBS Cocoa Powder
- 2 TBS white sugar
- 1 TBS Powdered Milk
- optional:
- mini marshmallows
- crushed candy canes
- sprinkles
- can been doubled or tripled as needed!
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together.
- TBS of mix with 1 cup of hot water will make hot cocoa. Add any of the optional toppings for extra flavor and festive look.
The hardest part of this whole project was getting everything inside the ornament! I realized I don’t have a funnel, so I made a paper cone, it worked okay. I had to cut the mini marshmallows in half to get them to fit in the hole. 
Add a gift card to the gift if you wish… or add an ornament or two to a gift you are already giving.
They actually may be too pretty to eat {ha!} What is your favorite “extra” in hot cocoa? I love the candy canes!
This is a gift you can’t go wrong in giving. Either as a gift or added to another item, your friends and family will love these tasty and adorable hot chocolate ornaments. This DIY cocoa ornaments are as fun to eat as they are to make.

Emily this is really a great gift idea. I’ve been contemplating what to give my kids teacher. I know she has children and try to buy her gifts that she and her kids could enjoy and I think this would be perfect. Thanks for the great idea!
Emily says
Yea! So glad I helped you decide. We’ve already given one of these to a teacher with a gift card and she loved it!

If sending to a dorm room, be sure to include somewhere a tablespoon measure, as no dorm room I ever saw knew what one was! Second-hand shops usually have boxes of loose items, and I have 4 extra tbsp measure for cooking as it is, bought from places like that. Amvets is particularly good; Salvation Army tends to only want whole sets (which you don’t need.) Sometimes Goodwill has a box of whatevers, too. I love second hand shops–they’re so useful.
