From cafes and restaurants to convenience stores and bubble tea spots, some of Calgary’s favourite eateries will take part in a month-long drink-making competition in hopes of raising money for Meals On Wheels, a buy one, give one a that provides healthy food for those in need.
So, how does it work?
The name of the game is simple! Each location has been tasked with marketing and selling a uniquely cozy drink that they have created with one of 3 categories in mind; Best Hot Chocolate (customers will vote for their favourite), The Cup That Runneth Over Award (the most popular) and the Most Spirited Hot Chocolate (the best boozy cocoa.)
