An Alternate/ReBuild of 41319 Snow Resort Hot Chocolate Van.

Amanda is deciding what to order while standing under the canopy, safe from sun and snowflakes.
The cuppa hot cocoa sign is still on top and still rotates, because it's such a fun concept!

Mia works at this cuppery too -- to raise money for a new Heartlake City animal shelter
(because the Vet clinic is over-capacity with animals, and in violation of city code ... if I recall correctly from that episode).
When I first saw images of set 41319, I immediately envisioned a canopy for that 'big' Azure piece!
I made a point of *not* looking at the instructions when I opened the box; so I'm not even sure how similar my machines are to it.
One aspect I wanted to do was get those new lovely magenta curved tiles out from under other bricks!
They are the half-skid cart's back seat cushion top.

Even though she didn't come in this set, Stephanie has come along and chats with Amanda at the table.
There's a map printed on the center of the table, so it's always there for new customers.

Both Stephanie and Amanda are placing an order. The table has a boot shelf with warmer under it, so they'll be warm while sitting.

Amanda is thinking about another cookie ... while you can see inside the stand -- Mia is hard at work on the Hot Chocolate machine.

Hot Chocolate machine -- view of it from inside and from front counter.

Amanda decides on another cup and a cookie. Mia adds more chocolate to the machine and rings up the cash register.

[the 1x1 brown tile is the chocolate, as the set didn't come with a printed chocolate bar :-( ]
Amanda goes for the whipped cream dispenser ~ Mmmmm!
Mia gets ready for the next customer by checking the machine, plus restocking cookies and donuts.

While Stephanie asks Mia about after the stand closes, Amanda enjoys the view from the bench.

My version of a half-skid cart, from the parts available in this set. Basically the other windscreen was way too big, and there wasn't
 a piece to tilt the smaller window -- so it's formed like a resort golf cart. It just has ski-skids up front for snow.
While the set does have that silly small steering wheel (that no fig can grab) I finally removed it to move the
windscreen back a row and down. Let's pretend it's a self-driving cart, Tesla knock-off ;-)

I love that curved tile piece!

Here is the core build of the stand with only the awning, without the canopy; the furniture and equipment: Table, Chair(s),
Counter, Hot Chocolate Machine, and Bench.

Not being a fan of stickers myself, the "banner" is attached with only a mere slice of backing cut off; this way I can
remove it and save my green flag piece.

Mia and Stephanie ride back to the Snow Resort together ... "Wait, is that the same sweater I'm wearing?" !! LOL

Thanks for viewing!
