Without a doubt, one of the most anticipated annual winter festivals is the Hot Chocolate Festival in Vancouver.
Every year, coffee shops, bakeries and chocolatiers get creative with their cups of cocoa. It is a perfect way to warm up in winter and get into a “sweet” frame of mind before Valentine’s Day.
This year will be the 15th run of the festival and will run from January 18 – February 14th. There are 81 businesses will be participating at 124 locations, with a total of 180 different flavours!
