This year’s Christmas theme is all about the red buffalo check. I had so much fun putting together this Christmas drink bar and adding in all of the fun buffalo check accents.

Most of these pictures speak for themselves, but I do want to let you in on a little secret. Everything you see on my Christmas drink bar (except the booze!) I either had in my arsenal or I picked up for extremely cheap. I mean SUPER duper cheap. This Christmas season I am all about using what I have!

The focal point of my Christmas drink bar, and a hot cocoa bar of last year, is this weathered wood chalkboard I made several years ago. It has been used in many different parts of my decorating, and I still see using it for many years to come! I love chalkboard art and lettering and find it to be so therapeutic. Plus it makes such a great impact, doesn’t it?!

The mason jars are wrapped with some cute wrapping paper I picked up at 70% off at Michael’s. The cocktail shaker is one I already had that I simply wrapped in the same scrapbook paper as these ornaments.

See what I mean about CHEAP?! I just simply placed some paper straws I already had (probably purchased from the Target dollar spot) and candy canes inside them for a little accent.

This mini tree is one I’ve had for years. I think I got it at Big Lot’s back when we still lived in Tennessee, so it’s definitely had its fair share of use. The base was originally wrapped in burlap, but I wanted it to fit in with the rest of the buffalo check theme, so I just wrapped it up in a buffalo check napkin I had leftover from my wreath project.

This way I still have the original burlap, and I can remove the napkin if I change my decor next year. The decorations are small red ball ornaments I’ve had, and bows I tied with some buffalo check ribbon I had in my stash.

On the other end of my Buffalo check Christmas drink bar is a pair of miniature skis. I picked these up a few years ago in the Target dollar spot. I simply added a buffalo check bow to dress it up a bit. Then to give them some more height I used some cookie boxes that I also picked up at 70% off at Michael’s. They are perfect!

Of course, no Christmas drink bar is complete without the drinks! These are just a few of my husband and I’s favorites, and the whiskey glasses were a gift to him last year (he’s a whiskey guy!)

One thing I absolutely love about this drink bar are these vintage sleigh bells my mom gave me. I believe she found them in an old farmhouse we lived in when I was very young. I remember her decorating with them every Christmas when I was a kid, so when she asked if I wanted them I of course said yes.

I want to restore the bells some and give the strap a little love after this season. If you know the best way of going about restoring old sleigh bells then I would love to know! After researching a bit I think these babies are from the mid-1800s! Which is crazy to even think about!

This Christmas drink bar is almost too pretty to use….almost! I may be guilty of pouring myself a glass of that Prosecco when I was finished with pictures.
