Six More Weeks of Winter? Groundhog Says Yes—So Let’s Warm Things Up

Every February, all eyes turn to one very famous groundhog. When he pops out of his burrow and sees his shadow, legend has it we’re in for six more weeks of winter. And this year? Winter isn’t ready to loosen its grip just yet.

While ice cream socials may need to wait a little longer, this extra stretch of chilly weather gives us something just as sweet to celebrate: cozy, crowd-pleasing winter treats that turn cold days into unforgettable experiences.

At Scoops2U, we believe winter events deserve just as much love as summer ones—and our hot cocoa bars and roasted marshmallow s’mores stations are the perfect way to embrace the season.

Ice Cream Can Wait… Winter Comfort Can’t

Don’t get us wrong—we love ice cream season. But when temperatures drop and winter lingers, guests crave something warm, comforting, and interactive.

That’s where winter dessert stations shine.

Hot cocoa and s’mores aren’t just treats—they’re experiences. They invite people to slow down, gather around, and enjoy the moment together. Whether it’s a corporate event, residential community gathering, school celebration, or private party, winter desserts bring a sense of nostalgia and connection that never goes out of style.

Hot Cocoa Bars That Feel Like a Winter Hug

Our hot cocoa bars are designed to be as customizable as they are comforting. Rich, creamy cocoa served warm, paired with an assortment of toppings, allows guests to create their perfect cup.

Popular hot cocoa bar toppings include marshmallows, whipped cream, mint and chocolate sprinkles, and crushed peppermint.

These stations are perfect for:

  • Employee appreciation events
  • Resident appreciation days
  • Winter open houses
  • Holiday carryover celebrations
  • Cold-weather community events

Best of all, hot cocoa bars require minimal space and are set up by our friendly staff, giving you more time to focus on your guests.

S’mores Stations: A Winter Favorite That Never Melts

If winter had a signature dessert, s’mores might be it.

Our roasted marshmallow s’mores stations bring the fun of a campfire indoors or outdoors (weather permitting). Guests love roasting their own marshmallows and building the perfect s’more—crispy, gooey, and completely customizable.

S’mores stations are ideal for:

  • Apartment and HOA events
  • Winter festivals
  • Corporate team-building events
  • School and church gatherings

They’re interactive, memorable, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser—especially during those extra weeks of winter the groundhog warned us about.

Winter Events Still Deserve a “Wow” Factor

Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean events should feel routine. Winter is actually the perfect time to offer something unexpected.

Food-based experiences like hot cocoa bars and s’mores stations encourage guests to mingle, create photo-worthy moments, add warmth and personality to any event, and require little effort from hosts.

For property managers, event planners, and office admins, these winter offerings are an easy way to boost attendance and leave a lasting impression—even when the forecast says “cold.”
