But as we are getting down to the wire…only 3 more days until Christmas…here are a few quick and easy mason jar ideas for happy gifting.
Jolly Holiday Cocoa
- ¼ cup powdered milk
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup candy cane, crushed
- mini marshmallows
- mini bottle of Baileys or chocolate liquor (optional)
- Christmas ribbon, tissue and tags (get as creative as you like here)
DIRECTIONS
Begin by gently pouring each ingredient into the jar to create the layers. I generally go from heaviest to lightest ending with the marshmallows on top. To add an adult twist to the gift, tie a mini bottle of Baileys or chocolate liquor using ribbon.
DIRECTIONS for enjoying a hot cup of cocoa:
Empty contents of jar, mix to make sure ingredients are well combined. Mix 1/4 cup of cocoa mix with 1 cup of hot water. Enjoy!
Santa’s Elf Libation
For all those hard working elves out there (you know who you are) these adult friendly mason jar cocktails will have you humming Christmas tunes in no time.

Tip: use wide mouth mason jars which will allow your small mixers to fit inside.
SUPPLIES:
- Wide mouth Mason Jars (mouth must be at least 2.5″ wide)
- 7.5oz Mini-skinny cans of mixers (soda, juice, coffee, etc.)
- Mini bottles of alcohol
- Christmas ribbon, tissue and tags (get as creative as you like here)
DIRECTIONS for enjoying Santa’s elf libation.
Empty contents into jar, mix to combine, add a few ice cubes for a chilled, refreshing cocktail. Enjoy!
One last thing, remember the super easy sugar scrub from a few days ago? If not, pop over to that post. I’ll wait. Back? Great. Mason jars make great containers for sugar scrubs too! Yes, I know you’re wondering about my love for mason jars but seriously, mason jars are the Mac Gyver of crafty gift ideas.
Happy Gifting!
Sending you love and happiness! ❤️
