Hot Cocoa Stroll — Merry & Bright in Downtown
Downtown is about to get a little Merry & Bright! Join us for this year’s Hot Cocoa Stroll, where local businesses across downtown craft their own signature cocoa creations — from classic and cozy to fun and unexpected.
Here’s how it works:
- Purchase your keepsake mug from the Chamber of Commerce in Veteran's Park to receive your event map.
- Visit each participating business to taste their cocoa and cast your vote for your favorite.
- Help us crown the 2025 Cocoa Champion!
As you stroll, enjoy Christmas carols in the park, shop the holiday vendor market, and take in all the festive lights and decorations throughout downtown.
It’s the perfect way to spend the day — supporting local businesses, sipping something sweet, and celebrating the season together.
Let’s make this year’s Hot Cocoa Stroll truly Merry & Bright!
Grab your cocoa mug here or sign up to be part of the Merry & Bright Vendor Market.
We want to give a huge thank you to our 2025 Cocoa Sponsor, Hills and Valleys Heating & Air Conditioning.
