The holidays are coming, and we all know it’s the most wonderful time of the year! As much as we love summer, especially in Los Angeles, once fall comes around everyone is ready to bring out the winter décor.

Since the holidays put everyone in a joyful mood, it’s also a great time to host a brand activation or two. There aren’t too many events or festivities towards the end of the year, which makes it a perfect time to host a fun event!

Building a brand activation event can be a bit tough if you’re new to the game, so here are a few tips from The Los Angeles Hot Chocolate Bar on how you can build a successful winter themed brand activation event!

Catch Peoples’ Eyes With Creative Décor

Our sight is one of the first senses that gets engaged when we’re out in the world. Our eyes love to look at creative, interesting things that are out of the ordinary. Views like this keep us engaged, which is why it’s important to decorate your brand activation in a way that’ll get people interested.

 And since your event is going to be winter or holiday themed, it is very easy to imagine what that could look like. For example, Winter Wonderland! It’s a classic theme that has everything we love about winter: fake snow, snowmen, maybe some Christmas trees, lots of lights, and more!

Be sure to stay away from cheesy backdrops and instead go for something like these LED Christmas Snowflake String Lights! They can be hung up as a garland all over the event space, or you can hang them vertically to create a cute, modern, illuminated backdrop.

Each pack comes with 2 string lights, each containing 50 snowflakes. They are very affordable, making it easy to fill up the entire space with beautiful lights.

This beautiful Birch Garland with Lights makes for a perfect table centerpiece. It measures six feet long and resembles a natural branch with LED lights. They add the perfect cozy ‘sweater weather’ vibe that we all enjoy!

You can never go wrong with a Christmas tree! Nothing says winter more than a Christmas tree. As for décor, fill the tree up with pieces that match your brand! For example, if your brand sells makeup products, hang some on a piece of ribbon and add them to the tree!

Games and Fun!

With the cold outdoor weather, keep your guests warm indoors by renting out some arcade games! Gems Parties is located in Orange County and they can supply your party or event with arcade games such as Air Hockey, Pac Man, even a photo booth.

If your event space has an outdoor area, do not skip the fire pit! If you don’t have your own portable fire pit, here is an affordable option from Amazon! This Multifunctional Fire Pit Table measures 32 inches on each side, offering plenty of room for people to hang around.

And with a fire pit, there must be s’mores! Having marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate available for all your guests is a great way to bring the fun.

And if you want to skip the big fire pit, City Bonfires has compact and portable fire pits. You can have a few of their portable fire pits available on tables at the venue and surround them with s’more ingredients.

The Hottest Dessert Caterers in Los Angeles - The Los Angeles Hot Chocolate Bar…

Of all the desserts that you can have at your brand activation event, this dessert will for sure blow everyone’s mind. The Los Angeles Hot Chocolate Bar is a new dessert catering business that has come to the Los Angeles area!

Since your event theme is winter, why not have a hot chocolate bar? We, the team from Los Angeles Hot Chocolate Bar, don’t use just any generic packet of powdered hot chocolate mix.

We believe in using only high quality ingredients to deliver high quality products. Our hot chocolate is made from the finest chocolate to give our clients the ultimate luxurious winter experience.

We tried ingredients from all over the world before settling on the Arbia bean from Central America. This bean has an intense flavor and bring lots of character to each mug of hot chocolate.

All Sorts of Flavors

We have many different flavors of hot chocolate that are great for everyone, even kids. We have Salted Caramel, Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate, Salted Vanilla Hot Chocolate and Spicy Maple Cinnamon. Additionally, we have a Vegan Gingerbread for a dairy-free option!

One of the things we love about our hot chocolate bar is that we also offer boozy options! Enjoy a delicious cup of hot chocolate and add a little bit of spice! We have a delicious Mezcal Hot Chocolate with Ojo Tigre Mezcal, Bailey’s S’mores Floats with Crushed Graham Crackers, and many more!

Included in our hot chocolate bar are several toppings, whipped cream and alcohol infused whipped cream for you to choose from! Cozy up with a warm mug of hot chocolate, decorated and customized with your favorite flavors.

Custom Branding!

We can make your brand activations memorable with our hot chocolate bar, but also with our custom branding options! Whether its stencils, marshmallow shapes, or cup sleeves, make sure you give your guests something to remember you by!

 Looking for Frozen Fun?

Apart from hot chocolate, we also make frozen hot chocolate on a stick via our sister business, Beach Town Pops! Without a doubt, your guests will love our holiday freeze pop flavors such as Roasted Plum Basil, Belgium Dark Chocolate Sea Salt and more!

Beach Town Pops has many unique flavors of frozen treats, made of the most high quality ingredients. Similar to the hot chocolate, they have flavors for everyone, as well as boozy options! And they do custom branding too!
