Toss on a couple of pink and white throw pillows for a pop of color and comfort.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1684\">Next, string warm white fairy lights along the wall behind the seating area or drape them around a window. Snag a small tabletop tree and deck it out with pink ornaments, candy-cane stripes, bows and ribbon. Finish the space with peppermint or vanilla candles (this <a href=\"https:\/\/paddywax.com\/products\/cabana-red-pink-candle-pink-peppermint?variant=44879583314093&amp;tw_source=google&amp;tw_adid=746898102954&amp;tw_campaign=22455590786&amp;tw_kwdid=pla-312129133377&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=22455590786&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADHAyDu3CUT3HJBfynk1mAilePnT4&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAxonKBhC1ARIsAIHq_ltSUrbK-s6vdMqXkrVMW2K-UOy3qDGFWzfv-zLAKkttAQl1qaM8_AMaAhc0EALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pink Peppermint Candle from Paddywax<\/a> is adorbs) for a delish-smelling glow.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">Build a Pink Peppermint Cocoa Bar<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-312723 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/girlslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pink-christmas-cocoa.jpg\" alt=\"Three BFFs in festive pajamas hold mugs of hot chocolate shaped like bears and gingerbread men during an aesthetic Christmas sleepover.

Set up a cocoa bar on a small table or kitchen counter close to your main hangout area, so gals can grab a sip all night long.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1951\">Set out a tray of mugs (psst: if IG-worthy snaps are your goal, white or clear mugs photograph best). Prepare hot cocoa in advance (peep our crowd-pleaser slow cooker recipe <a href=\"https:\/\/girlslife.com\/make-it-cute\/312055\/your-holiday-party-needs-a-hot-chocolate-bar\/\">here<\/a>). Then, set out toppings in small pink bowls, labeling each with a handwritten tag:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1951\">+ Crushed candy canes<br \/>\n+ Pink and white marshmallows<br \/>\n+ Whipped cream<br \/>\n+ White and dark chocolate shavings<br \/>\n+ Pink sprinkles<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2238\" data-end=\"2371\">For an extra-cute touch, place peppermint stir sticks or candy canes in a glass jar.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\">Make Peppermint Ornaments<\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2615\">Take your sleepover to the next level by offering up a fun to-do.

A DIY ornament-making station (not only is it a blast, but each gal will get a personalized keepsake to take hom).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2615\">Set up a folding table with some crafting supplies:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2615\">+ Clear plastic ornaments (snag <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaels.com\/product\/24-pack-275-clear-diy-plastic-ball-ornaments-by-make-market-10782587?cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-21825448222-_-&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAxonKBhC1ARIsAIHq_lsNXRJH2rGl_oZiZI-ed9wxDG4e-U6X43bc65l5kaprGNemxYIMdgUaArx6EALw_wcB&amp;pla_channel=local&amp;sku=10782587&amp;channel=local&amp;local=1188&amp;dev=c&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=21815070708&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADkMxxdGaDm3DNycJWmlWI4TktaTH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a pack of 24<\/a> at Michael&#8217;s for just $8)<br \/>\n+ Crushed candy canes or peppermints (bonus points if they&#8217;re pink)<br \/>\n+ Mini bows<br \/>\n+ Pink ribbons<br \/>\n+ Pink, gold and silver glitter<br \/>\n+ Small funnels or plastic spoons<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2615\">To make your pretty ornaments, use a funnel to fill a clear ball with crushed candy canes and glitter.
