I’m a HUGE fan of family traditions. I truly think traditions help families connect and ensure kids have positive memories from their childhood.
I often integrate fun traditions into the different holidays throughout the year. But after seeing my kids revel at the first snowfall of the season, I decided to come up with a “Winter’s First Snow Family Tradition,” too.

Snowman Soup – A Family Tradition for the First Snowfall
B-Inspired Mama sponsor, Vaseline, sent me a “healing package” for winter that included their Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion and some yummy GODIVA Hot Cocoa
.
So I decided to use my new GODIVA Hot Cocoa to make Snowman Soup with the kids. Here’s what we used…
How to Make Snowman Soup:
You just make some rich hot cocoa – preferably with delicious GODIVA Hot Cocoa. Then add these toppings to make it look like a cute (and yummy!) melting snowman…
- marshmallow creme spread
- mini marshmallows
- candy eyeballs
- mustache icing decorations
- REESE’S Pieces candies
- rolled wafer cookie straws
- snowflake sprinkles
A special thanks to Vaseline for inspiring our new, delicious Winter family tradition. While the kids were warming their hands and bellies with their Snowman Soup, I was pampering my cold, dry hands with some Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion.
