Easy Christmas Bar Cart Decor & Styling Ideas

I love my bar cart so much! There are so many Beautiful Ways To Use A Bar Cart! I love using mine for the holidays to set up drinks and to display Christmas decor!

Here are some decor ideas to decorate a bar cart with a festive look.

1. The Bar Cart

First thing – let’s talk about the bar cart itself!

They are a great way to add storage and function to a living room or dining room during the holidays. They are a fabulous place to store holiday drinks and alcohol, platters of food….and are just plain fun to decorate.

If you live in a small apartment or condo and don’t have room for a 6′ or 7′ foot tree – use a bar cart to display a mini Christmas tree!

2. Christmas Garland

Add a string of Christmas garland to the handle end of your bar cart and let it drape! You can use flocked pine garland with lights or a pretty ornament ball garland like I used!

3. Vase or Bowl of Ornaments

Add some Christmas ornaments to a shallow bowl, a clear vase or my favorite bubble vase for a quick and inexpensive holiday decor idea!

Place it on your bar cart shelf for a simple festive feel.

A vase or bowl of ornaments looks beautiful on a kitchen island, coffee table, book case or end table too.

4. Flowers

These are inexpensive grocery store flowers!

I sprinkled some fresh cedar clippings (from our back yard) in the arrangement and popped the bouquet in a white vase.

Simple and easy!

I didn’t use ‘traditional’ Christmas colors in my floral arrangement – don’t be afraid of using pink or burgundy flowers, blue hydrangeas or white hydrangeas!

Simply adding pine or cedar clippings will turn any inexpensive bunch of blooms into a fabulous ‘holiday’ look!

5. Drinks

I love to make up a signature Christmas beverage every year.

A family favorite is this Christmas Sherbet Punch recipe including non-alcoholic and with alcohol versions! It’s so delicious and can be made with alcohol or without.

You can use your bar cart to serve non alcoholic punch, wine, beer, cocktails, hot chocolate, coffee or flavored waters.

I also put a few mini bottles of Perrier on my bar cart for the designated drivers and anyone who would like a sparkling water.

6. Barware

Add some glasses to your bar cart and straws if you’d like to make this a self-serve bar cart.

I love adding these fun coupe glasses and champagne glasses for the punch!

Place your holiday bar cart in your living room or dining room for easy access to holiday drinks and snacks.

Mine is in our dining room,  which opens onto the family room.

Another place to put your bar cart is by your tree on Christmas morning and make it a coffee bar or hot chocolate bar!

I added two gold deer figurines to the console table to tie in the golds I used on the bar cart.
