To celebrate this timeless, holiday cup-of-joy, local businesses have united to create a trail of the yummiest hot chocolate treats and cocoa-inspired experiences for locals and visitors to sip and savor. From tradition-with-a-twist to chocolate-infused cocktails to handcrafted cocoa-themed gifts — our community-wide Hot Cocoa Crawl has something to satisfy everyone from Scrooge to Santa. 

Along with the coziest mugs of chocolatey goodness, we’ve decked-out downtown and created a sleigh-full of local events — including our “Christmas Around the World” parade — to make the holidays in Elizabeth City extra special.
