For the entire month of February, participating cafés and restaurants will offer a signature hot chocolate drink for you to sample. They'll compete for the Gold, Silver, and Bronze titles for YKA's Best Hot Chocolate 2026.

These delicious concoctions will warm your belly and your heart, knowing that $1-3 from each drink helps the Mount Paul Community Food Centre (CFC) reach even more community members.

How it works

Choose a hot chocolate from the list of vendors, get yourself out to their location to make your purchase, download the app to your phone, and then rate the drink to help decide who will be crowned YKA’s Best Hot Chocolate! You can rate as many different drinks as you can try!

Each unique drink you vote for gives you a chance to win prizes throughout the festival. Multiple votes for the same drink will count as only one vote/prize entry.
