Tis the season to party! I broke out my bar cart and put together an Italian Soda Bar. While I like to stock up on the booze, I try to also include a fun, non-alcoholic option for kids, mama to be’s, and those that were kind enough to drive. {TBH, I’m a bigger fan of sugar than alcohol so having a sweet option is always a win in my book.} Keep reading to see my Christmas bar cart and how to create your own Italian Cream Soda party bar.

How to Create a Festive Italian Soda Bar | Add In Some Holiday Decor
I love seeing all the fun seasonal party goods for different holidays; this year I stopped into Hobby Lobby to pick up these Christmas cocktail napkins. The gold foil makes them look expensive but I love the bold color on them too. {Stay tuned, they’ll be making another appearance on the blog next week!}

How to Create a Festive Italian Soda Bar | Steps for Making an Italian Cream Soda
Start by filling the glass with ice and then add a few pumps of syrup. Once you’d done this, almost fill the glass with sparkling water — you’ll want to leave about an inch in the top. Top with milk and then mix. These are so easy to make and taste delicious plus there’s tons of options since so many syrup flavors exist. {Personal favorites are strawberry, coconut with pineapple, and peach!}

How to Create a Festive Italian Soda Bar | The Outfit
I’m loving this Draper James top for the holiday season. The plaid is perfect for Christmas and the ruffle sleeves are a fun twist on a traditional piece. I’ve already gotten a ton of wear out of this red plaid top so don’t be surprised if you see it again! I’ve worn it with black pants but dressed it down here with my favorite skinny jeans and a comfortable pair of slides.

While you could throw on a pendant necklace or a longer pearl one {like this!}, I opted here to just add a fun pair of burgundy statement earrings.

That mini-movable soda bar on wheels looks perfect!
I love your bar cart setup! My dream is to have a bar and/or coffee station in our new house. I hope to get it done in the new year.
This is so cute! Love how you styled this bar cart!

I LOVE your bar cart and your outfit! These pics are so fun and festive.
This is the cutest setup ever! I love everything about it – those napkins are too cute!
These sound delicious! Plus you look so pretty. P.S. I feel attacked by the letter board lol.
I love your bar cart. I hope to have one when we move next year out of this apartment. Because we really don’t have room. 🙁
Such a cute idea! I love Italian sodas, and this is a great option for non-alcohol drinkers at a party.
