In the chill of winter, Vancouver transforms into a cozy haven during the month-long Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival, dedicated to the rich and indulgent delight of hot chocolate. Back for another exciting festival and last year’s success with the showstopping “Raincouver”, Vancouver’s Honolulu Coffee is thrilled to be a part of the popular annual event’s 14th installment, which runs January, 13 to February 14, 2024.
Honolulu Coffee consistently presents some of the most unforgettable hot chocolate creations for the festival, and 2024 is no exception. The café’s imaginative drinks for this year’s Hot Chocolate Festival are sure to create a lasting impression while helping make cherished memories for all who indulge in the delightful world of cocoa and creativity.
Here are Honolulu Coffee’s playful drinks, both available during the 2024 Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival:
- Snow-Coco – $12. The finest 70% dark chocolate blended with steamed oat milk, creating a creamy canvas for the artistry to come. A drizzle of Macadamia nut and coconut syrup adds an exotic twist, while two marshmallow snowmen create a winter wonderland in your cup. Every sip is a sweet escape to a snowy, cocoa-filled dream. Note: The beverage is plant-based, however the marshmallow snowmen contain gelatin and are not vegan.
- Calli-Coco – $14. A fun hot chocolate with INK-spiration! The base is a heavenly blend of 28% white chocolate and perfectly steamed milk. On the side: a glass of jet-black enchantment, a concoction of activated charcoal power, sesame paste and the fragrant touch of Earl Grey. With the provided brush pen, the canvas is yours to paint. To add a touch of your artistic experience, this set include a delicate fortune cookie, offering not just a drink but a journey of self-expression and discovery. Note: The brush pen is sanitized, single-use, and complimentary.
As an exciting bonus, this year Honolulu Coffee has something even sweeter to go with your cup of hot chocolate: The chance to win a $100 Honolulu Coffee gift card! Every customer who orders the Calli-Coco can enter to win by sharing their brush pen canvas artwork on Instagram. Each week during the four-week run of the Hot Chocolate Festival, the Honolulu Coffee team will choose the inspired art from one creative hot chocolate fan to receive a $100 gift card to the cafe. To enter, follow @honolulucoffeeyvr on Instagram, use the #myCalliCoco hashtag, post your drink and tag Honolulu Coffee.“The Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival is one of our favourite times of year,” said Ming Yang, owner of all three Honolulu Coffee locations in Vancouver. “We are so proud of our two incredible hot chocolates this year that push the boundaries of flavour and presentation.
