Hot Chocolate Competition Heats Up Downtown Charles Town

Charles Town’s downtown merchants had so much fun with last year’s hot chocholate contest that they are holding the event again this year, on Saturday, December 16 from 4 to 6 pm. It’s a simple formula (for the contest, that is): 9 merchants will brew their own favorite hot chocolate recipes (those formulas are a secret, of course). 

The locations for 2023 are Betts & Coops Boutique, Blue Heron Tattoo, The Caverns Ice Cream Shop, Corner Connection, Foils and Fades , Needful Things Emporium, Siblings Coffee Roasters, and Sustain Bioceuticals. The Hobbies Shop is also participating, hosted by Needful Things Emporium.

The public is invited to stroll down town between 4 and 6 pm, sample as much hot chocolate as they want, and caste a vote for their favorite. The Snarly Yow’s Christmas with Krampus will be at the American Legion (225 West Washington St, free admission) from 10 to 5 that same day.
