Sip on this: Vancouver’s Hot Chocolate Festival is back for its 15th season

Launched in 2010, the Hot Chocolate Festival was the first city-wide event of its kind in the world. The festival brings together the best chocolatiers, pastry shops, bakeries, cafes, and gelato makers from across 10 regions of British Columbia as they turn a simple cup of hot chocolate into something spectacular. In the midst of a frigid West Coast winter, their motto is definitely onto something: “Chocolate Makes You Happy!”
