WELCOME 2022 THE WINTER CITY WAY
WHAT’S HAPPENING It feels like we’re in a little bit of a déjà vu situation with the start of this new year – but that doesn’t mean 2022 can’t kick-off in a fabulous and fun way. We’re definitely still feeling the colder weather (fingers crossed it stays on the milder side), so it’s time to take advantage of all the special activities the winter season has to offer. From tobogganing hills, outdoor skating rinks, ski hills, cross country ski trails and more, you’re sure to find a safe and fun outdoor activity to enjoy this month. Looking for a more elaborate winter adventure? Then look no further than the Ice on Whyte Festival taking place from January 27-February 6. Browse the impressive ice carvings on display, stop by their ice bar for a beverage, or try out an ice carving lesson for yourself at this icy-cool event! Keep an eye on festival updates at iceonwhyte.ca. And, be sure to stay up to date on public health measures at alberta.ca/covid-19

Café Bicyclette
Remedy Café
Little Brick
Duchess Bake Shop
This French restaurant serves a chocolat chaud à l’ancienne – translation: old-style hot chocolate and ohh is it lovely. Sip on this little bit of luxury and indulge in notes of chocolate paired with vanilla. Plus, Café Bicyclette features a fantastic winter patio that offers the ideal cocoadrinking setting.
If you’re looking for a vegan option that’s still rich and creamy, then check out this much-loved YEG spot. Remedy is known for their ultimate chai, but their hot chocolate is (dare I say) as delicious. What’s extra special? They also offer a dairy-free whip for some extra magic on top.
If you haven’t visited this adorable café & general store nestled in the neighbourhood of Riverdale, then grabbing a cup of cocoa is the perfect excuse to stop by. Have a classic hot chocolate (or check to see if they have a seasonal special) and take a seat within the cute space or outdoor patio.
This go-to shop for nextlevel macrons, pastries and endless gorgeous treats also offers an in-house Duchess Blend Hot Chocolate! Silky and divine, with delicate spice notes, this warm and earthy sip features three types of chocolate to savour – dark, milk and cocoa powder.
