     Back in 2018 when we did our original live Christmas in July, we shared some really yummy treats to serve at your own Christmas in July party.  We had festive Watermelon Stars and Strawberry Santa Hats.  We served a veggie tray shaped like a Christmas Tree. And of course, sugar cookies to decorate. 

      Recently I've found some recipes that look perfect for a summery Christmas party! 

• Peppermint Delight from Taste of Home looks like the perfect way to cool off and celebrate a Christmas theme at the same time. 
• The Original Jello Strawberry Poke Cake would be great topped with strawberries.
• Since I'm all about not baking in the summer,  these No Bake Christmas Wreath Cookies are perfect!

     Since our blog is the home of the Original Hot Cocoa Bomb, I had to find a way to incorporate Hot Cocoa into our Christmas in July Celebration!  Frozen Hot Cocoa seemed to be the perfect solution!  To serve a crowd and to cut back on the sugar and sweets, I made my grandchildren Peppermint Hot Cocoa Shots, in cute smaller juice glasses, topped with Cool Whip or whipped cream and sprinkles, of course!  They pronounced them good!

    Even if you aren't celebrating Christmas in July, these are a refreshing summer way to enjoy Hot Cocoa!
