Winter Salad

Winter Salad with Candied Pecans, and Feta. It incorporates seasonal ingredients for a fresh but festive side. You make it even more festive by including pink pomegranate seeds if you are having a baby girl or fresh blueberries if you are having a baby boy. If the sex of the baby is unknown, provide both and let family members predict the sex of the baby through their choice of fruit.

Hot Chocolate Bar

If soup isn’t your style, celebrate the cold with a hot chocolate bar. This is a super easy, diverse, and yummy option.  Not to mention, pretty cost effective. There are tons of topping ideas, and numerous homemade recipes for crock-pot hot cocoa if you want to make your own, but let’s admit it, Swiss Miss does a pretty good job. To hit everyone’s sweet spot, you can even offer complimenting liqueur options, like peppermint schnapps and Irish cream. I mean, YUM. Don’t forget a Hot Chocolate Bar Sign so guests know they can help themselves.

Hot chocolate mix in a bottle makes a very cute, inexpensive, and appropriate winter wonderland baby shower favors. What a fun way to mark the special occasion.
