I’m sure someone out there needs a very last minute gift idea…right?!
One that you can put together for only a few dollars and a few minutes!! Yep, that kind.
And it includes everyone’s favorite Starbucks Hot Cocoa.
OK, so in case you haven’t figured it out yet, Walmart and Target sell the individual packets of Starbucks Hot Cocoa. This would be easy to add to your for your pick up order.
Shhh, let’s keep it our little secret…I mean, we wouldn’t want them to sell out.
I have found them in four flavors at my local store. For these little gift bags I added 3 flavors of the Hot Cocoa along with a snack size bag of marshmallows and a peppermint stick. Then you just add it to a clear gift bag and tie with a ribbon.
If you want to take it to the next level you can add a cute coffee mug with the hot chocolate gift pack.
I told you it would only take a few minutes!
Ok, well it depends on how far you live from your local Walmart or Target!
Cinnamon sticks would be great added instead of peppermint…they would smell yummy
and could be used to stir the hot cocoa.
You can see how simple it is, even from the back it looks cute. This last minute gift idea is perfect for anyone. It will only cost you around $2.50.

By the way, it’s delicious too! It tastes just like Starbucks Hot Cocoa from the coffee shop.
My daughter and I love it. I think I’m getting my husband addicted too!
We’ve been enjoying it all season now. Now, you can get all of those gifts finished!
If you are one of those people who finished ALL you gifts weeks ago, and you don’t have anymore gifts to prepare go buy yourself a box of the Starbucks Hot Cocoa and sit back and enjoy the Holiday Season!
Because if that is indeed you…you deserved it!
Have a great weekend my wonderful friends!
Perfect last minute idea, Sonya! Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
Thanks Sally! Merry Christmas!
Oh I love that idea Sonya! I’m totally going to Walmart so my girls and I can make that for our neighbors. We always make “reindeer food” to give to the kids but this would be a sweet compliment to go along with it. Thanks for sharing the secret;) Oh and we might need to taste test it ourselves, of course.
Merry Christmas sweet friend
Definitely get some for yourselves!
I love this idea! I had no idea that Walmart sells Starbucks hot chocolate. I’m traveling now but am definitely checking it out when I get home. And, this just might be my neighborhood gift this year. Your packaging is so cute, too!
Thanks Paula, safe travels!
Thanks for the heads up! I had no idea you could buy it at Walmart! Merry Christmas!
Love this! I’m another that had no clue Walmart carried this ~ thanks so much for sharing!

Love this idea, any idea how long the marshmallows would keep if I prepared these ahead of time?
The marshmallows always stay for a while in my pantry if they are sealed tight. The air is what makes them harden. SO if you need to prepare in advance you could add the marshmallows to a snack size baggie that you could get most of the air out of.
Thanks for this idea! I modeled my goodie bags off of this and just included truffles. (I forgot to take a pic before handing them out at work, so I am using your pic and giving you credit on my site thegypsyprofessional.com)
