When it launched in 2011, the Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival was the first city-wide initiative of its kind in the world. This January, renamed and returning for its 12th year, the Festival is bigger and better than ever, with Vancouver’s best chocolatiers, pastry shops, bakeries, cafes, gelato and ice cream makers coming together to make the humble hot chocolate hotter than it has ever been before. In the damp and gloomy days of our Westcoast winter, you’ll find our motto to be true: “Hot Chocolate Makes You Happy!”
