Styling a Buffet for Christmas + Pumpkin Pie Dessert Coffee

I am partnering with Oriental Trading to bring you some affordable ways to style your buffet for Christmas. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am in Christmas mode and am excited to show you some affordable ways to decorate a buffet for Christmas. I went with a bright color scheme, using reds, greens, and teals.

 I mixed some of the items I had on hand with a few new pieces from Oriental Trading Christmas decor.

Fall is here and the weather has just started to turn cooler, which makes it perfect for sitting outside, watching the leaves turn, and sipping on your favorite hot beverage. I indulge in the occasional coffee house treat, but who can spend $5 every day? Not this girl...so I get creative and make my own flavorful coffee drinks, like this Salted Chile Caramel Latte, featuring Torani Bourbon Caramel Syrup.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Fall is upon us, which means it is pumpkin season.  I have already had several PSL's from Starbucks, but I wanted to branch out with my pumpkin drinks.  We love to drink smoothies at my house, so I got the idea to make a Pumpkin Pie smoothie.

It is no secret that I love Pumpkins!

DIY Lemonade Bar

We hosted a cookout for a few friends the weekend of July 4th and I wanted to showcase my new beverage cart.  I decided to have a lemonade bar with fresh fruit as one of the drink options.
