Prince Edward Island’s Hot Chocolate Trail returns from November 14 to December 20, 2026, bringing specialty hot chocolates to cafés, restaurants, shops and other participating businesses across the province.
Whether you prefer a classic chocolate drink, salted caramel, or a more unusual combination of flavours, the trail offers plenty to explore.
Try birthday cake hot chocolate topped with sprinkles and an Oreo, raspberry hot chocolate finished with a chocolate truffle, or cinnamon cocoa served with a churro. You’ll also find gingerbread-inspired creations, rich Belgian dark chocolate and tropical coconut-pineapple combinations across the Island.
To complement the trail, Central Coastal is offering ‘Sweet Escape Packages’ with special accommodation rates.
PEI Hot Chocolate Trail 2026: Participating Locations and Prices
Here are the participating locations, addresses and advertised hot chocolate prices. Some businesses participate only on selected days, so check the linked listings (click name) before visiting.
Prices also vary by drink size, toppings, substitutions, and whether you choose an alcoholic option.
Some businesses offer plant-based milk, but that does not necessarily mean the entire drink is dairy-free. Check ingredients and toppings with the venue, especially if you have an allergy.
