YYC Hot Chocolate Fest
February 1 to 28
The 7th annual YYC Hot Chocolate Fest is back starting February 1st. Participating cafes and restaurants around Calgary will be serving signature hot chocolate recipes and YOU get to vote for your favourite!
Drinking hot chocolate around the city isn’t the only good thing about this festival, the best part is that proceeds from the purchase of hot chocolate are donated to the Calgary Meals on Wheels.
Ready to get your hot chocolate on? Here is the list (in no particular order) of the participating restaurants and cafes for YYC Hot Chocolate Fest, and yes, some of the hot chocolates are boozy which means DATE NIGHT (or date Saturday afternoon)!!!!
