Candles – Lots of Candles!
While candles might seem a little cliché, they really do add the perfect touch of ambiance to your home. “Candles are a classic way to add a joyous mood to your home,” says interior designer Anna Hackathorn. “I especially love a large group of 15 or so white pillar candles in various heights, massed together on a large plate or tray in the center of the dining table.” While scented candles can add another level of fragrance, sometimes it’s good to stick to unscented candles in case the aroma is a tad strong for others.

Whether you just want to kick back and relax, or drink something hot before heading out to carol or enjoy Christmas lights, nothing is cozier than a warm mug of hot cocoa. There are plenty of ways to set up your own hot cocoa bar, from simple to elaborate. You could use a small spot on your kitchen counter or set up a big table – totally up to you!
