YKA Hot Chocolate Festival

Throughout February, Kamloops hosts the YKA Hot Chocolate Festival, featuring 15 local cafés and restaurants each offering a unique hot chocolate creation. Proceeds from these beverages support the Mount Paul Community Food Centre. Participants can sample drinks like Brynn's Bakery's Hazelnut Praline Hot Chocolate, Logjam Coffee's Banana Foster Hot Chocolate, and Hello Toast's Oreo Cookie Crumble. By voting for their favourite drinks via the festival's app, attendees help determine the top hot chocolates and enter to win prizes.
