‘Tis the season for cinnamon bun pecan pie, green bean casserole and Thanksgiving-themed cocktails. So many cocktails. Whether you’re a lover of eggnog or you’d rather sip on a clementine whiskey smash, it’s time to get your bar cart in shape for a season of holiday toasts.

Dark red accessories are a fun addition to any fall-themed bar cart. Drape a felt leaf garland over the cart, set up a mini tree and add cork candlesticks for a rustic touch. Brighten up the vignette with red wine glasses, light up some candles, then get ready to brew up a batch of sangria.
