More than two dozen takes on the humble hot cocoa can be sampled at a holiday event returning to East Passyunk.
For the third year in a row, the South Philly commercial corridor is hosting a hot chocolate crawl. Restaurants, coffee shops and bars along the Passyunk Avenue are serving their spins on the seasonal drink Saturday, Dec. 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cocoa fest, created to help businesses recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, sold out in 2022 and 2023.

Performers from the East Passyunk Opera Project will sing inside and outside businesses throughout the day. Shops selling non-edible wares will offer specials and sales, some exclusively to shoppers on the crawl.
