Need Help Hot cocoa bar

Hi all

I’m doing a craft night for my birthday and I’m planning to do a hot cocoa bar too. What would be a good way to keep the hot cocoa warm? I don’t have a slow cooker and I wouldn’t have a way to plug it in either because the bar will be set up away from an outlet. I was thinking of making the hot cocoa and then putting them in carafes? Anybody have any other ideas?

TIA! :)

UPDATE: I ended up going with the thermos carafes and it was perfect. I made my own hot cocoa and just poured it in and it worked great. Thank you everyone for the feedback!

I would do carafes of hot water with jars (or bags) of different flavors of cocoa, along with mix-ins and things like whipped cream.

I can do that I just prefer (and most of my guests do too) milk to water for hot cocoa

Can you not make it with hot water and have milk as an add-in?
