Winter in Tofino comes with its own kind of magic: stormy seas, misty mornings, and now… a town-wide hot cocoa adventure.
From November 28, 2025 to January 4, 2026, the Tofino Hot Cocoa Trail invites you to explore local cafés, restaurants, and even a distillery, each serving up their own creative twist on a classic winter favourite. Think cozy cups, rich flavours, and a delicious way to warm up between beach walks.
