Top 5 Must Try Spots for Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival

The 2023 Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival is upon us again. This year the festival will feature 140 hot chocolate designs from 95 different locations. This is the Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival’s 13th season to feature the best chocolatiers, pastry shops, bakeries, cafes, gelato and ice cream makers in Vancouver. The festival is a great opportunity for participating vendors to flex their creative juices to create their own unique hot chocolates. The festival will run from January 14 – February 14, 2023. With so many spots to choose from, I’ve narrowed down the list of my top 5 spots that I think you need to check out during the Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival!
