Fashion journalist, April Lockhart is dreaming up big things for 2026 one CHANDON Mini at a time.


Leading up to New Year’s Eve, she hosted a mini-themed vision board party to celebrate dreams that are anything but small — especially when entertaining with CHANDON Minis. Because great things (and great years) start with small, intentional steps.

APRIL’S HOSTING TIPS

Deck the halls with the right supplies

For the perfect vision board party, your crafting corner should be decked out and ready for goal setting. Make sure you have scissors, glue, lots of magazines and, of course, some CHANDON Minis to manifest big dreams.

Your playlist should feel like a gentle guide for the night – welcoming guests at the start, upbeat as the energy rises and the collaging begins, and smooth as guests start sharing their hopes for the new year. Music fills the gaps, warms the space, and creates a warm atmosphere that will keep your guests dreaming for the year to come.

Hosting is easier when your drinks are hassle-free, and CHANDON Minis are perfect for this! Singles or 3-packs make CHANDON Minis easy to grab on the go, and themed eco-friendly straws keeps serving simple and super cute. With CHANDON Minis in hand, guests can mingle, sip, and celebrate effortlessly, turning any gathering into a relaxed, memorable moment.

Mini Bites for Big Dreams

Lean all the way into the “mini” theme by serving tiny versions of your favorite dishes to pair with CHANDON Minis! Think bite-sized sushi, little pigs in a blanket, or mini brie puffed pastry bites. Not only is everything adorable and on-theme, but guests can easily snack while cutting, gluing, and manifesting their 2026 goals. Keep portions small, flavors bold, and trays replenished, so the energy (and creativity!) stays flowing all night.
