Sip Your Way Through Downtown Springdale at the International Hot Cocoa Crawl
A warm mug does funny things to a December sidewalk. The cold slides into the background, the steam gives you a built-in excuse to dawdle, and an ordinary winter evening on Emma Avenue starts feeling like the holidays, especially with your favorite people walking beside you.

Sip, Stroll, Repeat
Grab a mug and work your way from one participating downtown business to the next. Hot cocoa and seasonal drinks are poured at every stop. It’s the perfect excuse to finally walk into that spot you’ve driven past a dozen times and swore you’d visit “next weekend.” (You know the one.)
Every stop also supports a local business, so your cocoa habit is officially a good deed. Go ahead and have another. It’s for the community.

A Holiday Tradition Built for a Crew
This cocoa crawl is a returning holiday tradition, and it’s best done as a pack. Round up the family, text the group chat, and go mug-to-mug together through downtown. Who says you can’t have a progressive dinner where every course is chocolate?
