More than 30 locations across Charlottetown, Summerside, Cavendish, Kensington, and central PEI are serving unique, limited-edition hot chocolates.

Participants can savour inventive flavours such as Matcha Mint and Orange You Cozy.

For those seeking an adult twist, Deep Roots Distillery offers alcoholic options like a Spiced Caramel Apple cider with spiced apple liqueur, a Sugar Shack Cocoa with maple cream liquor and maple sugar nibs, and a Gingerbread Mocha with coffee liqueur, gingerbread syrup, whipped cream, and a cookie.

To complement the trail, Central Coastal is offering ‘Sweet Escape Packages’ with special accommodation rates.
