How to Be Part of the Cocoa Crawl Hudson Valley

Hopefully, you got to enjoy a cup of Hot chocolate today. Today was officially National Hot Chocolate Day. Warm cups of cocoa and marshmallows were everywhere.

No worries if this National Day slipped by without you noticing because there is still lots of time to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. It is still winter and there are still plenty of cold days in front of us.

There also happens to be an event planned all around the hot cup of chocolate that we all like to enjoy this time of year. You have surely heard of a Pub Crawl, there are Santa Crawls, and I even do a yearly Pumpkin Crawl, but how about a Cocoa Crawl?
