It’s going to be a busy week for Christmas events in Moosomin this week, with Moonlight Madness set for this Thursday, December 4, along with a number of other events planned for the week.
Hot Chocolate Festival Week of Dec. 1-7
New to Moosomin, the Hot Chocolate Festival starts this week, with seven different restaurants offering specialty hot chocolates from December 1-7.
People will get a chance to try them all and vote on their favorite as they are out and about doing their Christmas shopping that week or during Moonlight Madness on Dec. 4.
Trends Mercantile, Witch’s Brew, the Crate House, Cork & Bone, Red Barn, Dairy Queen and the Country Squire will all have hot chocolate on offer.
People can vote for their favorite at hotchocolate@world-spectator.com for a chance to win Moosomin Bucks.
All seven restaurants are being extra creative with their drinks. The Crate House will be serving a candy cane hot chocolate with an option to add espresso to make it a mocha latte. Trends Mercantile is serving a lavender white hot chocolate. The Red Barn is serving a butter pecan hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
Dairy Queen is planning on serving a frozen hot chocolate that comes in three flavors—caramel, double fudge, and peanut butter. Witch’s Brew is serving a gingerbread brown sugar hot chocolate. The Country Squire is serving a melted snowman hot chocolate, and Cork and Bone is serving two creations—a black forest hot chocolate and a toasted coconut white hot chocolate.
