i have to admit there is a degree of judgement! imagine copying babs and creating a hot chocolate station of your own! AND photographing it! she would be RABID. and quite possibly simultaneously SHOOKETH at the idea of such fierce competition!I feel like such a fraud, so I’m just going to share this here so I can get over my guilt. I have a hot chocolate station as well....

If you look closely you’ll see there’s multiple varieties of hot chocolate, each further out of date than the next, a display of marshmallows that I’ve arranged in the bag that they came in, and even some olives on the shelf above that came as part of a Christmas present last year.
I hope you can still accept me and my hot chocolate station
i, however, can fully accept you as the normal person you obviously are. your "hot chocolate station" actually includes the fundamental hot chocolate powder - love the fact that they are varying levels of out-of-date because seriously, who has in-date hot chocolate powder?! - and at least the olives will make a fun variation on the marshmallows as toppings when you run out!
as it transpires, the teapot contains the hot chocolate powder - no explanation as to why, we're just meant to accept it as bizarre babs logic. i mean, a teapot isn't exactly an airtight container, so i predict her hot chocolate powder will have solidified into one giant lump within days. but hey, she's not planning to actually use it, so *shrugs* the ceramic christmas pudding - as we'd be aware if we'd read her description apparently - contains the marshmallows, and the sprinkles are invisibly crammed in front of the candy-canes - which are a poor display in themselves, considering the sheer amount of mini and full-sized candy-canes she bought. and no mention as to where the flavoured syrups are. babs also recommended that we try drinking hot chocolate through a soggy paper straw - apparently, it's a game changer! yet that probably explains why the hot chocolate station is around fifty per cent paper straws, since it's clearly a ridiculous idea. and i note babs also managed to "decorate" around the bottom of the cake stand with pompoms - despite pompoms being the theme for the front room, and candy-canes being the kitchen's theme. babs has so many themes, she's already muddling herself up. next thing, we'll spot a mickey in the kitchen!Why is there a teapot on the hot chocolate station? Why are there hardly any mugs? Why is there no chocolate powder? It’s not a hot chocolate station, it’s a tray with Christmas ornaments on.
oh, and to the person concerned that babs wasn't calling her hot chocolate station a hot cocoa station, unfortunately there is time yet for that to change. her post was tagged #hotcocoabar - obvs trying to attract the american crowd.
also, please note that the christmas pudding is her spirit animal. *facepalm*
